Ripper Star City

Demographics

It is a mix of all Human ethnicities, with them becoming more Multicultural over time. As time goes by, they become one ethnicity, one that is tied to life on Nisa which is different from Caelum Prime.

Government

Is council led (comprised of Captain of the Ripper Star, two elected non-specialist, leaders in the following fields: Archaeologist, Agriculture, Military, Physician, Surgeon, Nurse, Biologist, Xenobiology, Botanist, Ecologist, Engineer, Geologist, Comms Officer, Teacher, and Scientist). There is usually only one specialist assigned to the council. Sometimes a second will attend a meeting but that is based on what information needs to be passed on to effectively lead.

Districts

Ship Ward: This is where the Ripper Star originally landed. The last remaining piece of the ship is at the heart of this district, where council meetings take place. Over time it has been expanded, so that there is more room (without losing what was). There are pictures of the founders (the original council) that hang in this room and throughout the halls of the council chambers. There are now offices and a few luxury rooms to "state visits" from other Human cities on the planet.   Old Town: This districts holds a lot of residential homes and the first school built on Nisa. The homes are small and close together as there wasn't much material to use to build homes and such. Plus, they were still figuring out how to get crops to grow in the ground. A large portion of material was being used for hothouse and raised farmbeds. The smallness and closeness of this district has remained the same, even though the building material has been upgraded several times over.   Lostdocks: This was the first set of docks made on Nisa and have been expanded since then. Its beginnings were humble and used by fishermen. Eventually, with the advancement of water technology and boats, the docks expanded to accomodate larger (and more) boats.   Chichendocks: As sailing and trade along sea routes grew, this district sprang up to help easy the burden of the Lostdocks district. It is smaller but it has been instrumental in helping the city grow.   West District: This district has slowling been expanding as farms and other such fields have moved as not to ruin the land. This district houses larger homes, restaurants and artisan shops, and businesses that have turned this once base into a thriving city.

I'm curious about so many things! Why did the Ripper Star land where it did? Why is the district called "Chickendocks?" Who is the Captain of the Ripper Star? I hope you will write more about Ripper Star City, why it is where it is, and so on. Your concepts are imaginative - I want to read more!
