StarCitizen:New Babbage
More actions
New Babbage is the largest city<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref> on planet microTech and a major trading hub, serving as headquarters for software and high-end electronics manufacturer microTech. The landing zone is also a haven for small tech companies, as the cold climate makes for an ideal location to house heat-sensitive computing and manufacturing centers.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref> Large public spaces are enclosed under domes to protect inhabitants against the planet's freezing elements.
Districts
New Babbage Interstellar Spaceport
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>
