POINTS OF INTEREST
- “Up Town” - Called as such by visitors and residents alike for its high end casinos and attractions, this sector of the Wheel is the most advertised and visited. Gaudy lights, flashy signs, and a myriad of fancy locations give Up Town its allure. The sector is the ‘wealthiest’ on the Wheel and easily attracts the rich and well-to-do elite of the galaxy, as its supposed to. Taxes here are high and while the area is trafficked heavily, only those with money to blow truly gamble here, though if you ask most on the Wheel, it's the affordably priced shows that are really worth it.
- “Mid Town” - The middle ground between wealth and destitution, the aptly named Mid Town is where the majority of tourists wind up. Here, the costs are far lower than the pricier Up Town and while the shows are fewer and less glamorous, the casinos are far more affordable. Mid Town sees the most traffic on the Wheel, but is also sometimes considered the key revenue source in some ways for the space station.
- “Down Town” - Dingy and seedy, the cheapest gambling area on the station is dubbed Down Town. Here the attractions are few and far between with those that can be found often considered lackluster at best. The gambling and casinos are cheap, but for the most part the only reason to frequent the area is for dirt cheap rooms to rent or to pawn a personal item or two at one of the many shops located here.
- Residential - The residential section is as it sounds: purely for those who live and work full time on the Wheel. Neither superbly cushy nor spartan in its appearance, the sector is comparable to most mid-level suburbian-esque habitation sections on most space stations.
- Industrial - Less designated for industry, though some manufacturing does occur here, the section is primarily utilized for corporation holdings, shopfronts, and warehouses. Tenloss is Headquartered in this section and many other companies have had or currently have space rented in this sector of the Wheel.
- Security - One part barracks, one part defendable hardpoint, the Security section of the station is where Wheel Security and Tenloss Security troops are located. The location houses both security officers and weaponry, including a few motor pools filled with a variety of vehicles. In addition, the sector contains a few hangar bays fitted for defense fighter craft as well as a location for repair/refit of other, larger defense ships. The location has its own, separate transportation hub deliberately disconnected from the general public transport hub and a number of holding cells for criminals. The sector is heavily guarded and it is extremely difficult to get into, or out of, the location.
- Arena - The arena is located in its own area of the Wheel and is where scheduled gladiatorial matches occur. For more details, click here!
- Executive Tower - The main spire of the Wheel itself, the Tower is often referred to as the Nerve Center of the Wheel. Heavily guarded and closed off from all but Tenloss or Wheel personnel, the spire is where the director, Popo, resides as well as where the main reactor battery is located. In addition, the Tower holds control of the station's vast array of segmented computer systems and weapon control. HWK-I is located within the many databanks of the spire and the structure itself can be sealed off from the main hub in an emergency.
Owned by various individuals and groups in the past, the Wheel was assigned by Popo the Hutt by the old Sith Empire soon after his rise to power within Tenloss. Since his appointment as the station's director, the station has lived up to its name as a star-borne casino hub, but also quickly became the Tenloss Corporation's primary headquarters, earning Popo and Tenloss an inextricable and irreplacable presence upon the space station in the passing years. Law on the Wheel follows Popo's fair, though harsh rules, despite the system changing hands between major factions of the galaxy. The Wheel has, under Popo's hand, remained sovereign even when battle rages throughout the system itself. Due to this, the station and immediate area around it has become a form of demilitarized zone and while factions can easily determine who enters and exits the system itself, most, if not all, treaties with the Wheel denote that barring any from entering the space station with peaceful intentions in mind becomes illegal, for all must be able to enjoy all the Wheel has to offer.
The station is massive on most accounts and guarded by Popo's Wheel Security reinforced by his own Tenloss Security officers. Outfitted with the best equipment Tenloss has to offer, the Wheel Security rarely encounters situations that get out of hand. In such an event, however, tools such as the HWK-I Facial Recognition System, combat droids, and supporting elements from Tenloss easily bring the situation under control. There is no station AI at the current time, leaving much of the station's computer regulations in the hands of a team of technicians located within the spire and heavily guarded. Outside of the station, the immediate area is protected by a number of patrol ships and fighter craft supplied by Tenloss with additional ships available in the form of local Tenloss patrols.
In essence, the Wheel is the epitome of fun times and gambling guided by the knowing and just hand of benevolent Hutt management.
