Luna

Colonized originally by corporations in the 2030s, Luna has been a hotbed of technological innovation for nearly three centuries. For the first hundred years of its existence, the colony on the moon was inside a habitable arcology in the shape of a dome. With the development of extremely fast and efficient terraforming methods in 2129, the landscape of Luna was quickly altered. Due to the lack of any atmosphere, the terraformation process was smooth and easy. In the centuries to come, Luna continued to be built up until the entire moon was covered in a planetary ecumenopolis, which has come to be known as Luna City. Although much smaller and with a far lesser population than the planet it orbits, Luna is still one of the most important colonies in the Federation. It is the birthplace of the Neo-Earth Directorate, the headquarters of Future Forward Corporation, and remains the center of technological discovery in Sol. Though no part of Luna City is as impoverished and chaotic as the Earth's underground levels, it still has a great deal of wealth disparity, with the rich living in towering structures that stretch into the sky and the poor relegated to old, dilapidated buildings in slums that have been ill-maintained for decades. Luna has only a single orbital elevator leading to a space dock in geosynchronous orbit.
