[b]Relay Towns[/b] Once bustling with activity, these industrial hubs were strategically situated at the crossroads of disparate outposts. Their location was not arbitrary; it allowed them to serve as central gathering points for resources, processing them efficiently while offering crucial support to outposts nestled in remote and inaccessible corners of the lunar landscape. Relay Towns were a hive of productivity, collecting raw materials and transforming them into export-ready goods destined for starports and far-flung outposts. Among the products destined for these outposts were essential life resources, crucial for sustaining operations in the harsh lunar environment. Meanwhile, the processed resources destined for starports were intended for sale on Earth's markets, a testament to the lunar colonies' interconnectedness with the wider economic web. But now, these once-vital hubs lie silent and abandoned, their machinery stilled by the unyielding grip of the solar storm's aftermath. Where resources were once aggregated and processed, now only echoes of industry remain. Industrial bases, once a bustling center of activity, now stands as a ghostly reminder of a bygone era, its purpose and productivity lost to the ravages of time and catastrophe.

Multiple routes converge at this point on the way to Copernicus Starport, which led to a natural growth of a settlement. It became an industrial centre processing raw resources for the export.[/i] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36350847/98906a3b0c6175915002c53c43e5707aa952aeea.png[/img] [b]Research Outposts[/b] Various research outposts dotted the lunar surface, established by public and private entities for cutting-edge technologies. With fewer laws and restrictions, these hubs were havens for scientific exploration. Diverse in their pursuits, from advanced robotics to sustainable energy solutions, they pushed the boundaries of human understanding amidst the desolate lunar landscape. Their presence stood as a testament to humanity's relentless curiosity and ambition. But after the solar storm, these centers of research now stand silent and empty. The legacy of these outposts, symbols of limitless potential, remains as echoes of a time when the moon was a beacon of scientific exploration, frozen in time amidst the ruins of a shattered future.

Operating in shadows, their purpose was shrouded in mystery, with each entity striving for an edge in the global power play. Their secrecy was a testament to the high stakes of lunar exploration and the lengths to which entities would go for an advantage. But now, after the solar storm, these secretive bases remain silent, their hidden agendas lost to the ravages of time.
