Cybertropolis

The Maximal capital city located in the Northern hemisphere of Cybertron, built upon the ruins of the ancient Iacon after the Great Wars. It is a grand city, the main center of economic, political and social activity for the Maximal faction.

All the luxuries of a wealthy and well run city state are found; the high class shopping centers, the glittering office buildings and the cushy jobs that they imply, the magnificent cultural centers and the grand concert halls and art galleries that come with them. There is an undercurrent of political turmoil that plagues this city however, one that outsiders don't often discover and one that the citizens of this city often willingly ignore.

Darkmount

Located on Cybertron's Southern hemisphere, this is the Predacon capital built upon the ancient Decepticon city-states of Kaon and, well, Darkmount. It is a magnificent example of ancient and modern 'Con architecture despite it's slowly decaying state. Lots of purples and reds and (true to the slightly anarchic political status) graffiti.

Sub-locations

• The Southeastern Reclamation Zone
  
  This site is basically all that is left of Kaon after Unicron's attack on the world. Darkmount is actually built around the chasm left by the dark god's claws, one of four other other similar sites around Cybertron. It is the main site of activity within the city due to it being a tourist attraction.

Praxus

Location of the largest black market on Cybertron. This city is built from the ruins of the Autobot city state of the same name. Once ruled by Decepticons- now it is neutral territory.

Here, neutrals, Predacons, Maximals, as well as offworld merchants and even the stray Decepticons and Autobots alike gather to sell things, anything from illegal weaponry to pirated version of computer games. As well as being the main center for activities related to the underground economy, Praxus has become the main location for more minor religions and cults.

Sub-locations

• The Praxan Market Place
  
  Praxus was once a city held in high prestige, a city known for it's grand towers and, of course, the beautiful and mysterious Crystal Gardens. After being decimated by the Decepticon forces during the course of the Great Wars however, such a reputation was left in tatters.
  
  Now, the towers and the Crystal Garden are long gone. The region is presently occupied by relatively medium sized skyscrapers and, of course, the slums in their shadows. It's greatest structure however, it's main center of commerce an activity is the grand and seemingly endless market place that has seeped into nearly every crack of the great city, even going so far as to permeate a lot of the living quarters and the high rises themselves. Anything from exotic restaurants to alien street shows to illegal weapon manufacturing companies can be found within the stretch of this colorful and dark world.
  
  
• The City of Pipes
  
  This is a city located not too far away from Praxus, and, well, it's not really a city to begin with. The entire region is covered in gigantic pipes, many of them stretching a good kilometer into the sky with diameters ranging from anywhere between a few meters wide to at least half a kilometer. The horizontal pipes stretch to even more impressive lengths, curling around the metal towers like humongous serpents.
  
  This had once been the exhaust exit for all of the factories in the once grand city of Praxus, a move to keep the city clean. Now the magnificent pipes lay rusting away, abandoned to the elements and slowly rotting from lack of maintenance.
  
  Now its carcass is haunted by urban tourists and some more unfriendly characters who take refuge from the law in the darker corners of the city.

Polyhex

Located next to the Rust Sea, Polyhex was once a Decepticon city-state before the great upgrade. Now it is Predacon territory although the inhabitants of this place are few and far in between. The corrosive fog that sometimes drifts over the unstable matter that makes up the Rust Sea has eaten away at most of it's buildings and left behind a haunted city.

Here there is a bridge that leads to the middle of the rust sea where the Hydrax Plateau rises out of the depths of the mysterious matter. Here lies the remnants of a once-busy space station and while the site still continues its function as such, the visitors are few and far in between.

Sub-locations

• The Graveyards
  
  Located at the edge of the rust sea, right next to Polyhex, the massive graveyards litter the wasteland surrounding the city. Anything from boats to tanks can be found here- and even the rare bits and pieces of a spaceships. Maybe they're the bodies of those who died during war- maybe they belonged to those who shed their armor when the Maximals declared a planetary upgrade and here they left their old forms.
  
  There are many legends around this place, anything from the supernatural encounters to the more sorrowful tales of old friends finding the remains of a comrade resting here. The Rust Sea's corrosion is slowly claiming the bodies of the dead, however, and though thrill seekers and scavengers still meander through these lands there isn't much left to find anymore but the silent faces of forgotten memories.

The Space Stations

These are located all over Cybertron. There are two means of entering and exiting the stations: the warp gates or by the more tradition means of landing a shuttle.

They are the main centers of trade between the other worlds and Cybertron.

Trans-planetary Transport System

Think of the longest d**n train ride you've ever had in your life. Now cut that time in half and multiply the distance of the tracks by ten or more. Now imagine the train goes into space.

The TTS is the main method of public transportation on Cybertron and it looks very much like a massive space train if trains were to be able to fly in space. It is relatively cheap and easy to get on if one has the right documents to be flying around across the planet. It is a system regulated and funded by Maximal Authorities of course, albeit, loosely considering the large amount of people from different classes taking the trips every hour.

The main stops are:

• Cybertropolis (Maximal territory)
  
• Polyhex (Predacon territory)
  
• Kalis (Maximal territory)
  
• Darkmount (Predacon territory)
  
• Praxus (Neutral Territory)
  
• The Rebuilt Colony of Omnicron on Cybertron's moon (Maximal Territory)
