Gemma is a city perched atop a majestic mountaintop on Jalan in Elysium System. It was formerly the site of a 塔維因 stronghold.[1]
History
Extractions from surviving Codices suggest that the locale was not chosen for the view; rather it was perfectly suited to withstand siege and repel attackers. As the 塔維因 civilization evolved, it became a perfect summation of their culture (beauty, precision and danger). Over the years, the 地球聯合帝國 has tried to maintain as much of the 塔維因 architecture as possible, but the elevation and increased air traffic have unfortunately begun to erode the buildings. Those structures that can't be saved have been converted into decidedly 人類 architecture.[1]
Locations
Landing facility
Landing in Gemma will appear different, as the landing facility has been built to mimic 塔維因 architecture, but should be familiar in the logistics. Platinum Bay has maintained the landing zone here for many years, and it still offers the amenities you've come to know and expect with a Fuel Pump and the local office of the TDD.[1]
Vadili Market
Moving into the city proper takes you past some familiar stores, but be sure to check out the Vadili Market, an open-air arcade that's been in operation (in one form or another) for over a thousand years. On most days, you can find San Pisoq, a 塔維因 and local fixture of the market, who will be more than happy to fill you in on a bit of the history.[1]
Cedar Board
Of course, you can find the Governor's Council and a local 地球聯合帝國督導局 Office if you have Imperial business to handle, but skip all that and head down to Cedar Board, a local watering hole owned by the Roarke family that's been in operation for almost sixty years. You can trace the family's vast and fascinating military history all the way back to the old wars of 地球 through the various pictures and relics proudly displayed on the walls of this quiet bar.[1]
Temple of Rijora
Had the 人類s not occupied Gemma during the Purge, the last (and probably most important) stop on our tour would have surely been lost. Here you will find one of the last known Temples of Rijora, and certainly none of the others are left in as good a condition as this one. Its architecture is so stunning in its elegance that even the Messers opted to preserve it. Maybe they were fans of architecture? Or maybe it was a begrudging respect for the enemy that catapulted Ivar Messer to power? Who knows, but it might be the only good thing that wretched family ever did. Moving into the massive structure, many are struck by the simplicity that awaits them inside. Rijoran doctrine emphasized active rather than passive existence, so you will find no chairs or pews, just large open spaces that were used by the 塔維因 to develop their mental and physical abilities for warfare.[1]
