Culture & Atmosphere

The Industrial Sector is a chaotic blend of grit and productivity. The air is thick with the smell of burning fuel and metal, accompanied by the constant roar of machinery. Workers in functional, grime-streaked clothing hurry about their tasks, their faces reflecting a mix of exhaustion and resignation. The environment is utilitarian, with no room for extravagance—everything is built for function over form. Among the factories and research facilities, small street markets cater to the labor force, selling cheap food, tools, and contraband. The people here are hardened, pragmatic, and wary of outsiders. Despite its harshness, the sector possesses an undeniable vitality, driven by the ceaseless hum of industry.
