StarBase 118 Commercial Sector: Difference between revisions

If viewed from a top down clock perspective, the New York District- modelled after the Manhattan area of the Earth’s famed city- would occupy the 3 to 6 positions. The temperature is best described as average and features snow in the Terran winter months. Considered the cultural centre of the Starbase, New York district features a recreation of the famed Broadway and sports seventeen theatres on “Neo-Broadway” as well as several “off-Broadway theatres” that put on plays from all over the known galaxy. In addition, the district also features various art galleries and restaurants, catering for everyone from the casual visitor to the loftiest of art critics. In contrast, a small sub-district of New York is “New Quo’NoS”- a hub for Klingon culture and arts… and fighting.

Noteable Establishments & Locations : The Twilight’s Edge, The Fourth Line Art Gallery, Neo-Broadway, The Retreat, The Promenade Convention Centre, The Acquire, The Gorkon Museum, Manolo Blahnik, The “Brooklyn” Bridge (leads to Ashalla District), New Central Park, The Bat’leth, Theo Whittaker’s Apartment, Rose d’Orleans Café,

===Ashalla===

If viewed from a top down clock perspective, Ashalla District- modelled after the capital city of Bajor- would occupy the 6 to 9 positions. The temperature is balmy in line with the real Ashalla, although it is not as tropical as the San Francisco District. Viewed as the centre of spiritual life aboard the station, there is also a growing artisan community to rival that of the New York District, with exhibitions and installations frequently appearing all year round. The Temple of the Prophets attracts thousands of visitors all round and not just from believers. In addition, several dozen other faiths from around the galaxy including Islam, Christianity, Judaism and Buddhism from Earth, Fourism from Betazed and, most recently  The Oralian Way from Cardassia Prime have opened temples and shrines in this district. Visitors to the Ashalla District will also notice that it is less metropolitan than the the districts- with plenty of greenery and water as opposed to towering skyscrapers. As such, this has also become popular with those people looking for peace and quiet or a break from the hustle and bustle of urban life, with several camping sites and retreats opening over the last two years. One of the most recent developments is a small community of Cardassians, who have been accepted into this predominantly Bajoran area

Noteable Establishments & Locations: The Bajoran Temple, St. Peter’s Cathedral, The Zeigler Synagogue, The Istiqual Mosque, The Buddhist Retreat, The Oralian Way Temple, Lilith’s Garden, Banny’s Salt Market, Shrine Of The Four The Subspace Café, Virtual Lifescapes, The Li Nalas Memorial Monument.

===San Francisco===

If viewed from a top down clock perspective, San Francisco District- modelled after the famed city on Earth- would occupy the 9-12 position. The temperature here is usually several degrees cooler than the Shi’Kahr District. Approximately a third of this district is in fact modelled after the city of New Orleans. If New York is the cultural capital of the station, then San Francisco District is seen as the entertainment capital, with dozens of night clubs, sport stadiums, concert arenas and jazz bars to be found. There is a spirit of inclusivity with architecture inspired by dozens of worlds and ways of lives, and all sports teams- including the newly established Starbase 118 Seahawks baseball team- have mixed gender teams. Perhaps the most dominant feature of the district is the scaled down replica of the Golden Gate Bridge, which despite being half the size of the original, dominates the skyline of this liberal metropolis and connects it to the Ashalla District as well as a budding holography studio- in perhaps a nod to another Earth city, Los Angeles.

Noteable Establishments & Locations: Apocolypse, Gov’s Pastries, Kael’s Pub, The Advocate, The Salty Dawg, Neutral Zone, The Flamingo Club, Dragon’s Lair, The Golden Gate Bridge Replica, Granny’s Place, Baylen Anders’ Apartment, The River of Time, Little Shoppe of Sundaes, Cabo Breeze, The Blue Sparkler, La Roma’s Night Spot

===Central Island===

Seeing how the island is the main transportation into the dome there is also a security check point center, maned by both Star Fleet Security and Federations Marshals with the Commercial Sector Police Force.  VIP's may chose to exit onto the island and take a water transport to one of the main cities, but that is only for VIP's and the High Ranking Star Fleet Officers, all others will go to the underground Transport systems to the the cities.

===The Dungeon===

Underneath the sprawling and varied surface of the Commercial Sector, and beneath the extensive underground transportation system, is a complex network of service corridors and access tunnels that, in the years since Starbase 118 was declared operational, has developed its own community, home to private clubs, businesses and clientele that desire both privacy and an element of exclusivity. While this community, referred to as “The Dungeon” by many residents, used to maintain a veneer of respectability even in the face of its reputation as “the rough neighbourhood”, recent years have seen the Starbase 118 Travel Advisory Group issue strong recommendations to avoid the area entirely and is believed by many to be the home of the station’s criminal element.

Noteable Establishments & Locations: Suena’s Repair & Salvage, Mundok’s Bar, Harkins’ Den, The Free Trader, The Tea Room, Dr. Wyrk’s Counselling Centre, The Playhouse..
