Stratification by social standing is intense, with working-class Amaians largely relegated to the continents and away from the oceans; this is most notably true of the the spaceport of [[Koryphi]], where industry, poverty, and dry, arid terrain combine to create a hellish landscape for the native workers. The ocean is only a couple hours' distance away, however, and another couple of hours' travel through the sea is enough to reach the capital, [[Atilan]]. The beautiful, underwater capital is as different from the outlying Spaceport as night is from day. | Stratification by social standing is intense, with working-class Amaians largely relegated to the continents and away from the oceans; this is most notably true of the the spaceport of [[Koryphi]], where industry, poverty, and dry, arid terrain combine to create a hellish landscape for the native workers.

A few landing strips dot the desert, connecting to a central terminal, which in turn permits access to the spaceport itself, from which branch a bar, the workers' slums, markets of varying degrees of legality, and sellers of food. Food in general is expensive, either because it has to be transported inland to accommodate outsiders, or because there's not much supply for land-based food. Most notable are the refineries, which work with raw ore and produce metal for various Amaian industries. The hours are long, the work hard and thankless, and the fumes make the entire Spaceport stink. There's also transport to Atilan and back, in the form of a hoverbus, PTP and a submersible ferry. | ||
