This is for any additional locations that may be created by other users the course of the RP as well as the existing locations. However, the number of districts is fixed at six.
--------- ========= ---------
Pacifica
The city is a massive artificial island complex supporting a population of roughly 30 million inhabitants, although this does not make it the world’s largest city by population, it is an impressive feat for a city that has been recently established in comparison to other cities. Originally, it was an experimental project designed as a partial solution to global warming, and the current government was formally established in 2030, though the date on which the project started is unknown. Occasionally, reports of supernatural phenomena come up and are largely ignored.
The city possesses a concentric structure of buildings and facilities lying on seven huge support rings connected to the central support tower by bridges and underlying support beams. Currently, the city is divided into six districts based on the support rings. Each district possesses airports (with the exception of 06); District 04 has the largest non-passenger airport for air-freight. Pacifica boasts a considerable public transportation system along with an even larger road system for travel between districts. Public transportation consists of automated buses and a network of train systems. For long-distance travel in and between districts, high-speed rail is available, but normal tram systems are much more available, you can pretty much get anywhere with public transportation.
Districts- - District 01: This is the innermost district of the city and includes the central support tower, the tallest structure on the island. The area around the central tower is mostly restricted, but those who have the opportunity to go there will find a decently-sized forest area surrounding the monolithic tower. The district possesses mainly possesses government administrative buildings and a few military facilities, making it the city’s government district. Due to presence of the central government and the central operations tower, this is also the district with the heaviest security. District 01 encompasses everything within the first support ring.
- District 02: This district primarily contains corporate office buildings and the larger shopping centers of the city, even though stores can be found all across Pacifica except for District 01. The district is also home to a few of the major research and development firms in the city. District 02 would be considered the business district of Pacifica. District 02 is entirely made up of the second support ring.
- District 03: The district is more of a mixed conglomerate of residential and commercial areas, most of the businesses here are generally small or a part of chains. The residential sectors of District 03 are a blend of suburban neighborhoods and typical city-residential buildings such as apartments or townhouses. The business and shopping sections of the district are just what you expect from any typical metropolitan city. District 03 can be paired with District 05, as there is no real difference in the composition of the two districts. District 03 encompasses the area on the third support ring of Pacifica.
- District 04: Occupying the most area in Pacifica with the fourth and fifth support rings, District 04 represents the manufacturing and agricultural sectors of Pacifica. The sheer expanse of the agricultural sectors of District 04 makes automated labor dominant in them, and District 04 boasts the lowest population density of any other district. Power is supplied from the central support tower, though the District generally has a few backup fusion reactors. Thanks to the amount of area dedicated to food production, Pacifica has achieved food independence and can also export food. For agriculture, hydroponics reign supreme as the method of food production in Pacifica.
- District 05: The district consists of a densely populated urban area with plenty of high-rises and parks; it is similar to District 03 in the fact that residential and business buildings are located closely to each other, with neither taking an overtly dominant role in the district. District 05 is also home to the outer administrative division of the Pacifica government, so a few military facilities reside here as well. District 05 occupies Pacifica’s sixth concentric support ring, which possesses almost as much area as District 04.
- District 06: Half of the district makes up a large port and shipping area, where nearly all of the goods entering and leaving the artificial island come through. The military occupies several harbors within the district in order to dock their naval forces. Most of the vessels docked in these commercial ports are container ships, and processing of these containers is handled by automated labor with supervision by human inspectors. The other half of the district is basically a continuation of District 05, with harbors for passenger ships but no beachfront.
Landmarks-
[District 01] -Central Operations Tower ‘Pacifica Tower’ – The central tower that is essentially supporting the entirety of Pacifica, it is a massive structure in both sheer length and radius. Besides what can be seen above the surface, it also runs down to the bottom of the sea. It appears to be a silvery grey in coloration and stands at approximately four thousand feet above sea level, if built on land; it would exceed 30,000 feet in height. Access to the tower and area around the tower is heavily restricted and outright forbidden in some cases, the airspace is also heavily controlled- starting around the edge of District 02.
-Concord Military Base - The primary military installation for ground and air forces of the Pacifica Defense Force, it is the largest military base on the island and is located in District 01. Like the rest of the district, it is heavily secured. The base provides military security for District 02 as well.
-Central Government Administration Building – The capitol building of the Pacifica Government, it is a sleek building that reflects the sky with glass windows and sits at the base of the Central Operations Tower. The building is where the Pacifica Board of Directors and the general assembly are based.
[District 02] -Tibbar Research and Development Complex – The Tibbar R&D Complex consists of several buildings, including two labs and a corporate building for office work. Tibbar is considered one of the smaller research firms in the city, but they designed the high-speed trains currently in use on Pacifica.
-Copperhead Robotics Headquarters – The main corporate office for the Copperhead Robotics company; their manufacturing facilities are located in District 04, but the financial and human resources aspects of the company are handled here. They are one of the few civilian organizations permitted to test drones under military supervision.

Generally, it is a popular destination for employees working in other buildings around the complex for meals.
-Mirror Tower – The main administrative office for the Civil Police Force in the jurisdiction of District 02, it oversees all police stations within District 02. The building has a mirrorlike façade, thus giving the tower its name. The tower has two hangars and several helipads for launching tiltrotor and helicopter aircraft.
[District 03] -High Speed Rail Terminal One – The station where all high speed rail lines pass at least once, this is a large, sleek train station that hosts many shops and acts as the major commercial shopping center in the district.
-Aurelia Academy – The largest university in Pacifica, it has an extremely diverse course curriculum and is revered for the practical training courses. The academy has over one hundred thousand students enrolled at any given time and is around the same size as the Concord Military Base. The campus is located along the edge of District 03, bordering District 04, which is where practical training is carried out.
-The Dome – The main administrative office for the Civil Police Force in District 03, the office oversees police stations in the district and the building is shaped like a dome. The building has underground launch pads around the exterior and is surrounded by several perimeter fences. The dome itself towers over surrounding buildings.
[District 04] -Monitor Air Force Base – This military base provides security for District 04 in tandem with the local police forces. Though the base is considered an air force base, it also has a large contingent of ground forces to ease the issues of deploying forces from the surrounding districts. It is located on the fifth support ring.
-The Windy Tower – The main administrative complex for the Civil Police Force of District 04, it is surrounded by a grassy field with wind turbines. During the day, the wind is particularly high in this region. It is located on the fourth support ring.
- Whitefield Cargo Airport – The largest airport in Pacifica by size, air freight is handled here, making it the airplane equivalent of District 06’s ports. The airport is located on the fifth support ring. Whitefield has a railway hub for transportation to other sectors in the district.
[District 05 / District 06] -Pacifica International Airport – Located in District 05, this is the main civilian airport in Pacifica; it is the primary entry point to Pacifica for those who are traveling in by air. The airport is distinguished by a large amount of automation, including in air traffic control and maintenance, though firefighting and emergency services are handled by trained personnel. The airport is also directly connected to Pacifica’s major train lines and public transportation systems.
-Border Passenger Hub – The main entry point for people traveling by sea and port for passenger ships. The hub contains an adequate amount of shops as one of the smaller shopping centers in Pacifica.
-Arcadia Military Base - The primary military base in District 05, it is a combination of an army base, air force base, and equipment depot for ground forces in District 05. The base is surrounded by tall 50 meter walls and heavy defense emplacements. The base is where military security forces are deployed to District 05 and the urban sector of 06.
-Emmings Naval Base - The primary naval base for the Pacifica Defense Force is located in District 06, it possesses heavy security and all of the Pacifica Defense Force's ships dock here for repairs and supplies. The naval base provides security for the harbor sector of District 06.
