Esmeraldas

Esmeraldas is the most active, vibrant, forgotten hinterland I’ve ever

seen. It’s in a strange place, commercially, being the third- or fourth-

best district at just about everything. ird-best port, third-best farms,

fourth-best factories, fourth-most-populous, and on and on. e whole

district is more or less ignored by the risties as an also-ran.

But for the middle class — for what’s le of the middle class, anyway —

it’s a happening night spot. You got Eat Row, you got Roxy HT’s, and

of course there’s the Blue Sun Stadium (go Giants!). Maybe Esmeraldas

isn’t ashy and ritzy, but it could be a lot worse. Not a great tagline

for your district, though, huh? “Come to Esmeraldas: it could be a lot

worse!”

Base de Cayambe

Base de Cayambe lies in the literal shadow of the Beanstalk, crawling up

the slopes of the Andes. Also the metaphorical shadow of the Beanstalk,

a curious port-town with no water or coast.

It’s got slums. It’s got warehouses. It’s got ophouses and gambling dens

and tattoo parlors and red light districts. It’s got everything a spacer

could want on his rst visit to Earth in 18 months, everything an

Earther could need before hurling herself to Mars for the rest of her life.

Although just about as poor and crime-ridden as Guayaquil, Base

de Cayambe is generally safer. ere are crooks everywhere, but they

keep the peace and keep business running as usual. ere are also

a smattering of artists, students, entrepreneurs, writers, and others

attracted by cheap rent and an astoundingly diverse populace, so Base

de Cayambe is even moderately trendy.

Chakana

Chakana is the Beanstalk and the Beanstalk is Chakana. e Space

Elevator is tethered at Earth Station, also called the Root, on Volcán

Cayambe, and from there it rises into the heavens, a silver thread to the

stars visible from a half-dozen countries.

Okay, maybe I’m getting a little poetic about it, but come on! It’s the

single largest structure ever built by human beings and it unlocks the

stars. It is the key to space and maybe the salvation of the human race.

If thinking about it doesn’t make you misty, I don’t even know that

you’re human.

It also makes the corps more money than god, and if anything were to

happen to Chakana it could, in fact, trigger another Worlds War. So,

you know. It’s important.

Heinlein

Heinlein is on the Moon. It’s part of New Angeles on paper, but honestly?

New Angeles is closer to Beijing than it is to Heinlein. If you’re born in

Earthside New Angeles, it is literally easier to visit a foreign country

than to go to Heinlein, and it’s not like the Loonies think of themselves

as New Angelinos, you know? New Angelinos don’t get billed for the air

they breathe or need to wear an enviro-suit at all times just in case. It’s no

wonder most people forget that it’s the twelh district.
