'''Kinba City''' is the capital city of [[Adru]]. As the entire surface of Adru is covered with water, Kinba City is the only above-surface city on the entire planet. The city is mainly inhabited by the [[Adruan]], Adru's native species. The Adruan are amphibious in nature, and only built the city to accommodate the offworlders that come to Adru. The main export of Adru was the healing liquid, [[laktum]]. The laktum was collected and distributed by the Adruan, who shipped it off-world from Kinba City. After the decline of laktum and the rise of technology, Adru was abandoned to its own devices, having no further need for Kinba City. Most Adruan left for their underwater cities. Kinba City would not be re-inhabited until teh early 2300's. | |||

When the Adruan made contact with off-worlders, the aquatic beings built Kinba City in order to accommodate these new guests. Kinba City soon became a major trading hub, as the Adruan started to export their laktum to the rest of the galaxy. | When the Adruan made contact with off-worlders, the aquatic beings built Kinba City in order to accommodate these new guests.

During | During this time, Adru remained non-aligned. Some [[Caraadian]]s secretly negotiated with top Adruan officials, who honored their integrity. These officials allowed the Caraadians to use a secret laktum mining facility located deep underwater. When laktum production began to decline, causing prices to soar, and customers began to flock to the emerging competition, technology. Offworlders abandoned Adru, and the Adruan returned to their underwater cities. During this period of isolation, the Adruan became primitive, with young Adruan warlords destabilizing the government and social order of Adru. Kinba City was left empty for the most part, and fell into disrepair. | ||
The laktum supply returned, however. It is assumed that the Adruan resumed the shipment of laktum offworld. As such, it is also logical to assume that Kinba City was once again inhabited by the Adruan, who used the city to transport laktum offworld as they used to do. | The laktum supply returned, however.

The massive city floats atop the world-spanning ocean utilizing a buoyancy system that involves the massive city-center. Kinba City is shell-shaped, with a "base" that slopes down into the water. The area around the city's center is filled with hangars and landing zones. The landing zones are supervised by Adruan dock officers. Upon arrival in Kinba City, a visitor needs to pay a docking fee, or otherwise, they will not be admitted. The gates into the city are often guarded by [[Assault Robot Mark II|Mark II assault robots]], that will use armed force to prevent any visitor that refuses to pay the docking fee, from entering the city. | The massive city floats atop the world-spanning ocean utilizing a buoyancy system that involves the massive city-center.
