City of Zero {Paal}

City of Zero
General Description: Zero is a medium-sized city located on Paal, a planet known for its rich agricultural resources. Despite the planet's agricultural focus, Zero has developed a distinct character of its own, serving as a hub for various activities that support the surrounding farmland and trade routes.
City Layout:

• Central District: The heart of Zero, featuring the main marketplace, administrative buildings, and the largest public square, Zero Plaza. This district is bustling with activity, especially during market days when farmers and traders from surrounding areas come to sell their goods.
• Industrial Zone: Located to the east, this area is home to processing plants, storage facilities, and workshops that support Paal's agricultural economy. It's also where the spaceport is located, making it a prime spot for incoming and outgoing shipments.
• Residential Areas: Surrounding the central district, the residential neighborhoods of Zero are divided into sectors based on socioeconomic status. The northern sector houses more affluent residents, while the southern and western sectors are home to working-class families.
• The Docks: Positioned near the spaceport, this district is a mix of warehouses, shipping offices, and a few seedy establishments. It's known for its nightlife and less savory activities, making it a perfect hideout for smugglers and criminals.

Key Locations:

• Zero Spaceport: A smaller, yet busy port handling local and interstellar traffic. It has several docking bays, repair facilities, and a customs office.
• Zero Plaza: The city's central hub, featuring a large fountain, open-air market stalls, and surrounded by cafes, shops, and government buildings.
• Industrial Quarter: Where raw agricultural products are processed and packaged for export. This area also includes a few technology import businesses.
• The Rusty Wrench: A popular bar in the docks district, frequented by spacers, traders, and those looking to conduct business away from prying eyes.
• Zero Security Office: The local law enforcement headquarters, equipped to handle everything from petty theft to more serious crimes, although resources are sometimes stretched thin.
