Theme Zone Sector
A sector is a large multi-kilometer spanning sky arcology.
Usually these are seen together with other sky arcologies (a Hub and 3 sectors), a cloud gate and sky infrastructure to form a Theme Zone.
Administratively, the surface of a sector is divided into 4 districts and each district is subdivided into 3 townships.
Interactable features are spread across the surface and beneath it. See "Features".
Features
Features are interactable content that allows characters to interface with different in-world systems found in a Sector.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Theme Zone Land Plot | Defined as a tract of land that characters can own and improve upon. |
| Merchant Terminal | Non-character trade terminal used for selling and buying of certain assets and resources. Usually located in the centre of townships. |
| Crafting Terminal | Non-character crafting terminal used for the crafting of certain types of assets or resources. Usually located in the centre of townships. |
| Medical Facility | Non-character merchant terminal selling medi-kits and also a spawn point for character avatar if the character health stat goes to 0; |
| Sector Metro Station | Access to the mass-transit system spanning the sector. Located in the centre of townships. |
| Nexus | Terminal for loading and unloading of owned decentralised assets. Located in the centre of townships. |
| Mining Site | Area with buildings, mineshafts and equipment used for gathering of minerals and crafting of mineral derivatives; |
| Timber Yard | Area with buildings and equipment used for gathering of timber resources and crafting of timber derivatives; |
| Fishing Spot | Bodies of water with bountiful stocks for fishing activities; |
| Gathering Site | Area where raw plant resources can be gathered. |
| Aerotrail Course | Area with rings used for aerotrail competitions. |
| Hot Zone Course | Area used for Hot Zone competitions. |
| Theme Zone Rift Sites | Area with a quantum anomaly linking Cornucopias Earth to other universes, hostile creature spew forward from these to threaten the district and the sector. |
History
Theme Zone Sectors were conceptualised, designed and first built somewhere between 1906 (discovery of genesium) and prior to 1962 (start of Calido Sector refurbishment into Calido Valley mega dome).
As of this time it is not known if new sector domes are being actively built anywhere in the world, if new ones are prohibitively expensive to build nowadays or if the know-how to build them has been lost.
Composition
A Theme Zone Sector follows the usual design principles of sky arcologies.
Dome
The Dome is the top section of a sector. Powered by quantum shielding technology, the Dome offers protection, climate control and is transparent to allow unobstructed views and sunlight.
Surface
The Surface of the sector is the midsection of the sky arcology. It holds a disk of soil with unknown depth that is sculpted to hold Mountains, hills, plains, rivers, lakes and any terrain feature in between.
Depending on the “theme” of the “zone” the sector dome is located in, the ecosystem of the sector (landscape, flora, fauna and environment conditions) is custom designed to fit a “theme”.
The surface is administratively divided into 4 districts and each district is subdivided into 3 townships.
Underside
The underside is the bottom section of a sector.
It houses the utilitarian part of this type of sky arcology. Here we can find internal and external transportation infrastructure, telecommunications arrays, as well as the technical equipment needed to keep the sector in the sky, upkeep the environment on the surface and generate the shield protecting it.
Hangar Bay
Exterior transport of people and cargo arrive and depart from here.
Sector Metro System
Between the surface section and the underside there’s a metro system connecting the towns on the surface.
