The Gilded Archipelago is an Aeotheran city being built by experimental means. Using refugees local to the system, a ready pool of labor has been gathered to build the Crown Jewel of Aeotheran, the Gilded Archipelago. This City is built under the new Sadow Directive, specifically by House Shar Dakhan, as the financial arm of the Clan. Working hand in hand with the Dlarit Corporation, the plan for the city is one of the economic enhancement through local business.
Overview
The Gilded Archipelago is a chain of over 45 islands within a cluster approximately 13,000 square kilometers. Only 15 of these islands however, are larger than a decent sized residental subdivision. These 15 islands are zoned for hotels, businesses, restaurants, and sundry other 'tourist' stops. The largest island is something of a major hub, sitting very roughly center in the island cluster. It boasts a very well appointed, and very large starport, capable of handling even the largest of transport yachts, a few very high profile skyscrapers, hotels, upscale restaurants, couture shopping, and many public transportation hubs.
Approximately 15 meters below sea level are transparisteel covered speeder roads which permit very quick and effecient travel between the different districts within the islands.
Resources and Utilities
Power
The Gilded Archipelago is supplied by much the same types of systems as Kel Rasha.
Tidal Energy: Tied to the local desalination centers are tidal energy plants, allowing for less use of space to provide multiple services.
Geothermal Energy: Below the repulsor tethers lies a massive geothermal plant. This plant, called the Sub-Aquatic Geothermal Energy Collection Station by Dlarit, and Solitary Confinement by employees, is largely droid operated, with sapient employees working 6 months on, 6 months off, due to the extreme isolation and boredom. This facility contains 10 levels, mostly operations, though the top floor, which is the largest, boasts comfortable dormitories, a stocked galley, and exercise facilities, all under a shield supported transparisteel dome. There are rumors that the lift system was built for more than 10 floors, and the system shows evidence of having traveled farther than the official maintenance logs list.
The truth is, levels 11 through 13 are set up as training facilities dedicated specifically to the Quaestor of House Shar Dakhan and those deigned worthy. In addition, known only to the House Quaestor, there exists a Level 14, which is something of a Panic room. There are non-perishable supplies enough to wait out almost a full year (though a good portion of that time would wisely be spent in a hibernation trance.)
Food
70% of the foodstuffs found in the Gilded Archipelago are imported from Kel Rasha, while the remainder are imported through the Dlarit Hospitalities division. Only .5% is locally caught or grown, that mostly from private fishermen and small gardeners.
