# The HUB

## Layout

**The Hub** was the biggest dwelling long before the **times of silent friendship**. Before the **ecological catastrophe** it was a port town and now it's a spaceport megapolis. Huge **skyscrapers** with impossibly bending structures are tangled into one big hive where you can live all your life without seeing any daylight. **Corridors** connect buildings like streets. **Elevators and cable cars** carry thousands of citizens to their locations. All major **companies** have their **headquarters** here. All but the most avant-garde **artists** start their journey here.

Some of the most known districts are: The unsafe- **Space docks**, the studios- **Ruby academy of science**, the wondrous- **Blue quarters** and the mercantile- **Headquarters**.

## People

There is a saying in rubian cultural circles. *”If you are from the Hub, you are from nowhere.* “ To classify the “Hubians” would be as classifying grains of sand in the **Chali desert**. Sure they are all bright red from afar, but once you look closer, every speck is a product of thousands of years of erosion and has vastly different stories to tell. One came from a prehistoric statue of a god and the other was a river pebble that saw the evaporation of all the water from the face of **Ruby**.

Conclusion: **the Hub** has as much diversity as the rest of the **Ruby planet**. Art gallery districts are full of sophisticated **rubians**. Lower levels are full of youngsters that ride their **hover-boards** and have a totally different view on art. Their spray painted walls always give charm to local **ramen shops** where native **AI engineers** gather to show off their inventions.
