Difference between revisions of "Scatterhome"

Bodean is controlled by a number of Scatterhome corporations, their families, and their employees. [[Venture Chemicals]], [[Ibix Manufacturing]], [[Gravix LTD]], [[Hercule Mining]], and [[Amar Exports]] are some of the major corporations that call Bodean home and headquarters. Many of these conglomerations are family businesses, and the politics between the clans can be cutthroat. When Bodean was first discovered and spun up for habitation, deep wells were sunk into its surface with mining lasers, and these "reverse skyscrapers" are connected by an underground railway system known as the [[gravtrain]]. The wealthiest CEOs and land-owners on Bodean live in clear, rad-shielded domes on the surface.

The closest thing Scatterhome has to a garden world, [[Whittler's Hollow]] is, as the name suggests, completely hollow, and was claimed in the early days of the settlement by a young human engineer named Whittler, who immediately saw the potential of the rock. Working closely with the Elgan, with whom he struck a legendary deal, he expanded, reinforced, and terraformed the inside of the hollow asteroid. Trees and crops grow on the inside surface of the asteroid towards the nuclear-powered and levitating "sun" that shines at its heart. Much of Scatterhome's food is provided by Whittler's Hollow.
