- City Name: Lightwire
- Classification: Cyber Security Training Facility District
- Location: Denon
- Affiliation: Denon
- Population: Moderate
- Demographics:
- Wealth: Wealthy: The Lightwire District stands as one of the most profitable areas even among other districts. With the notorious reputation of Darkwire, Lightwire has positioned itself as a group of sanctioned slicers dedicated to safeguarding Denon while being loaned out to other worlds for lucrative contracts. This makes it a preferred investment for those concerned about rival groups like Darkwire.
- Stability: High: The Lightwire District maintains a high level of security and stability, thanks to its robust infrastructure and rigorous training programs that ensure a well-protected environment.
- Freedom & Oppression: The district is not designed for typical habitation. Former residents of dilapidated buildings were relocated following a generous buyout, transforming the area into a state-of-the-art training facility focused on producing elite slicers.
- Description: The Lightwire District is a dazzling district featuring sleek skyscrapers adorned with solar panels and lush vertical gardens. Towering structures and buildings dominate the skyline, their facades glowing with neon lights and holographic displays. A massive tower and a visible nature-like design in the building hint at its financial and technological influence. Elevated walkways and maglev transport systems weave through the district, while a unique security barrier shields it from aerial and ground attacks. The district blends cutting-edge cyber security with a harmonious, green urban design, serving as a beacon of innovation and resilience.
Overseers Office: The Overseers Office is the central hub, housing the lead netrunner and the overseer who directs the district's training programs. This sleek, high-tech building features advanced holographic interfaces and secure data vaults, symbolizing the district's leadership in cyber warfare.
Security Barrier: A state-of-the-art defense system, the Security Barrier protects Lightwire from most aerial and ground-based threats. Its cyber warfare capabilities are designed to welcome and counter attacks, providing real-time training opportunities for slicers while showcasing the district's unmatched security prowess.
Cold Storage: Designed to hold ships for use on class outing and store ships as they are docked in the upper city.
Sasori Modular Production Facilities: Designed to function as an industrial fabricator for food and water. To be sent to worlds and aid in food production to feed trillions from a singular facility or produce and purified water for worlds in drought or desert conditions. Air and energy production allows the stations themselves to with a singular station able to provide for enough energy a planet for several hundred thousand years under intense demands.
Junjita: FLash Cloning: Designed as a sophisticated rapid cloning lab. ABle to produce fauna for planets such as fish, livestock and birds. With upgraded Resource Module as needed to improve the yields and allow the district itself to be self sustaining in the event of attack.

The Lightwire District's legacy is deeply rooted in the annals of Denon's history, set in the year 902 ABY, a time marked by the planet's ongoing struggle with cybercrime and technological instability. Its origins are tied to the infamous Darkwire, a rogue collective of slicers who had long exploited Denon's vulnerabilities, prompting local authorities and corporate leaders to devise a countermeasure. The idea for Lightwire emerged as a sanctioned hub to train elite slicers, transforming a chaotic digital landscape into a controlled, profitable enterprise. This vision was spearheaded by Ayumi, the director of District 19 and Dominique Vex, the senator of the planet whose combined skills laid the foundation for the district.
Prior to its renovation, the area was a sprawling, dilapidated sector of Denon, its hundreds of levels filled with crumbling infrastructure and makeshift training dens where aspiring slicers honed their craft amidst outdated technology. Recognizing the potential for a grander scale, Ayumi and Dominique secured funding from Denon's allied corporations, initiating a monumental renovation project. This ambitious undertaking, completed over the course of one year, involved the rapid overhaul of the district's vertical expanse, replacing rusted frameworks with advanced materials like hypertech materia alloys and solar-integrated crystasteel. The project required the relocation of former residents through generous buyouts, a move that faced initial resistance but ultimately paved the way for Lightwire's transformation.
The construction phase, beginning in 901 ABY, was a feat of engineering and coordination, with droid labor and slicer-supervised AI optimizing the process across the district's multilevel architecture. Each level was retrofitted with state-of-the-art training simulators, secure data nodes and plenty of biotech green spaces, blending Denon's old aesthetics with sustainable design. Challenges arose, including sabotage attempts by Darkwire sympathizers and the logistical nightmare of renovation and preservation of the district levels, but Ayumi's innovative idealisn and Dominique's diplomatic finesse ensured success. By mid-902 ABY, the Lightwire District stood complete, its towering structures and buildings rising as symbols of Denon's technological resurgence.
Since its completion, Lightwire has evolved into a global powerhouse, its slicers defending Denon and securing lucrative contracts across the galaxy. The district's historical roots with Darkwire continues to drive its development, leading to innovations like the Security Barrier, a marvel of defensive technology. Tournaments and training programs have drawn talent from distant systems, cementing Lightwire's reputation. Today, in 902 ABY, it stands as a testament to Denon's ability to turn adversity into opportunity, its history a narrative of resilience, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of digital mastery.
