Districts
New Babbage Interstellar Spaceport
Script error: No such module "main".
New Babbage Interstellar Spaceport sits outside of New Babbage, on the opposite side of the frozen lake. The structure is built into the side of the mountain and supports large volumes of traffic landing and taking off constantly.
Next to the spaceport is a set of garages, where you can go to park or retrieve your vehicle if you desire to travel by ground instead of taking the transit system.<ref name=":0" />
The Commons
Often referred to as the Dome District, the Commons is the main commercial and social hub in the city. It is located on the smaller side of the main dome, which is unofficially dubbed the "double bubble" due to its shape being two merged domes. It is modeled after a "douchey campus" with recreational space,<ref name=":0" /> and includes a large central yoga field surrounded by a gym, climbing wall, and several eateries:<ref name=":1">Alpha 3.9.0 In-game survey</ref>
