Hasselfrau Production Studios has turned Bahadir into one of the many go-to cities for the young and aspiring artist. From filmmakers and writers to actors and comedians, everyone with even an ounce of charisma move here to try and make it. Smaller studios such as the Arnez Pictures, Majel Films and Coppola Studios have also started to take root here attracting recording studios and other firms in the industry. This coupled with Lotzaw Sound, Bahadir Imperial Shipworks and Novaldex Research has given way to a high wealth status for the city.
[*]
Stability: High
Crime rates are relatively low, propaganda on every other billboard and a sizeable military presence helps local law enforcement feel emboldened to take the measures necessary to keep the city safe. Respect for all cultures and inclusion also help immensely with the alien population and although they are far less than the human population, it is important to note that the military has no issue with reminding everyone just where it is they are.

Description: A young theatrical city on the rise, as the old industrial one begins to give way and as the new ways come, the old must perish. This is Bahadir a city that is now in between the new and the old where industry meets the lights of the theater, of the movie studios and while some advocate for more room in advancement. Others are glad to incorporate the ever industrious past of the city reminding them all of just where they’ve come from and how far they’ll go if they just keep that in mind. Where the narrow winding ways of ages past meet the grand speedways and space lanes of tomorrow. Bahadir, the City of Dreams, if you can dream it - you can do it.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The city takes its name from its founder Ozbek Bahadir, a man who had been on the planet during the four hundred years of darkness. Now it is unknown as to exactly where Bahadir came, but what is known is that he settled around the old Whittle River that now sits on the southern end of the city. What started as one man’s home turned into a family settlement after he met his wife Ramya.
And during the course of four hundred years what was Bahadir’s Settlement became Bahadir City.
The city’s first industry had been timber but soon turned to other means of income including the crafting of bridges. Bridges, prefabricated buildings became their go to and then as technology grew the industry changed from the old to the new including the mining of elements, minerals and ores that would become durasteel.
Durasteel, duracrete and many other materials now considered everyday and ordinary continue to be a staple for the city but just before the Gulag Plague another industry had started to emerged. Shunted by the plague and the Netherworld event, Bahadir’s burgeoning film industry has finally started to take off in the shadows of the old industries a new one seeks to take over.
The First Order’s arrival to Niran and by proxy, Bahadir did little to deter the city from its progress. Instead Bahadir came to serve as an entry point for First Order propaganda on the planet. Although not the capital of the planet it is often the most visited thanks in part to the growing film industry as the wooden signs of BAHADIR are erected up over the McMullin Hills. A literal sign of the times that the new is taking over the old, as the city’s ever changing skyline boasts First Order banners and the lights of film and the theater.
