Barracks
When Sterling Industries started to mine ore in this valley in the 1970s, they built accommodations for the workers on the hill in the center. As mining operations gathered speed, more and more people moved in. Eventually, Sterling co. caved in and built a school, a hospital and other services, but it's still primarily industrial estate.
Small, cramped houses built row upon row on dreary straight streets going up and down a hill, smog, dust, and the noise from open-pit mines and plants, freight railway running next to it all, not a tree in sight, heavy traffic. Probably the worst place to live, but hey, at least you got a job and rent is cheap.
Most of the ore in the valley is already exhausted, but there are more job opportunities in refinement and metallurgy now. Earth
is wounded with numerous open pit mines and deformed with towering spoil tips.
