Bouchard

This working-class neighborhood supplies workers to the Studio District, Fitzgerald Army Base, and the under-construction skyscrapers of “Tomorrow Town.”

Demographics

“Fort Fitz” is home to thousands of soldiers, many of whom take advantage of the movie houses and night clubs of the neighborhood. The district’s civilian residents are almost entirely working-class.

Points of interest

The high-security base-within-a-base, Special Projects Pavilion, is home to several ongoing military efforts, including Project: Crucible, a rigorous physical and psychological fitness regiment, and Project: Thunderbolt, an effort to develop a tank that hovers above any terrain and blasts its foes with energy rays. Work on Thunderbolt is promising, but the massive machinery required means that there may not be room for a conventional tank crew.
Phillip Carrington is one of the city’s brightest young architects, and his modernist skyscraper designs are the centerpiece of “Tomorrow Town,” a gleaming high-finance district planned north of Bouchard. Phillip’s grandfather Aloysius is a noted occultist, and the Northport Tribune identified Phillips’ mother, socialite Jasmine Ruiz-Carrington, as a member of the shadowy Army of the Eclipse (a claim later retracted as part of a libel settlement). Both are frequent visitors to the building site. The foremen are beginning to complain about frequent change orders to the skyscraper plans.
