Cogwerk Port

[Geopolitical, Society]

The Cogwerk Port is a powerful and very important trading outpost of the Society of Cogwerk Planets (SoCP), hosting a large amount of the operations in the Cogwerk economy. Even though the port is one of the key trading posts of the SoCP it still considered a small settlement as its population is mostly transient with a few staying for any period of time.

 The outpost has numerous well protected areas, working as the heart of the city, but it also houses the external suburbs and slums which are less protected and a risk to anyone who could lose their way in the dark and dangerous streets.

The society of Cogwerk Port is composed from a multitude of districts which generates a situation of apparent chaos. Surprisingly, though each faction meticulously and effectively takes care of their own interests in the city.

Aside from the main districts and the V.I.P. area, Cogwerk Port is more controlled and secure where the shipping, financial, commercial, media, entertainment, art and international trade boils. But beyond the authorities officially controlled districts, all others remain under the sinister control of a small variety of criminal organizations. These districts and the outpost slums are like a dark well that concentrates the worst of the SoCP trying to make their fortunes from all kinds of dubious operations. These outpost slums are always under the supervision of a Kingpin like figure who has their hands in every piece of business that passes through.

If you happen to visit the most important trading post of the SoCP, you must make time to visit the Mecha Tournaments Stadium as the famous club of Leander LaSalle's! Here the Port authorities, the wealthy and celebrities rub shoulders with some of the most skilled pilots in the galaxy, whose fame transcends the farthest gateways.

As it is in the official market, the same can be said in respect to its shadow counterpart: the black market.  Cogwerk Port hosts the largest black market in the Galaxy, where anything and everything can be found if one has money enough to pay for it. For this reason, Cogwerk Port is alluring to all types of merchants and businessmen, but has also been attracting a wide variety of smugglers, traffickers, mobsters and worse! Cogwerk Port has also been a starting point for many ronin mercenaries, adventurers and go-getters who are lured by the Mecha Games as by the promise of the riches and the power that can be found within.

It’s rumoured that General Nova sent several free agents and mercenaries in pursuit of news about any trace of the Droch'ah's influence to Cogwerk Port. Nova still has many undercover agents in place under the guise of market traders and merchants continually gathering information.

There are reports about a growing group known as the Darknoll gang, whose activities are increasing out of the authorities’ control… or in collusion with them.

Beyond the trading post there are steep areas, marshes and even partially unexplored jungles, inhabited by dangerous creatures such as the ambershard stalkers.
