History
Layout
Old Colony
When someone refers to the 'Old Colony' what they are actually referring to is the first round of subterranean habitats built into Tycho Crater's central mountain peak. Historically, this is actually the second colony, as the first was the original exploration base that remains near the spaceport. The Old Colony consists of a 6-level underground facility, with 2 levels above ground level and 3 below ground.

Sublevel 2
Sublevel 3
By far the most expansive level, sublevel 3 is dedicated entirely to maintenance facilities, piping, power lines, and all the behind the scenes things that keep everything above it functioning. It is a tangled maze of crawlspaces, pipes, treatment vats, transformers, and a nightmarish array of more than 30 years of replaced-in-place-and-bypassed hardware. Consequently, Sublevel 3 is also home to the Colony's criminal underground, with illegal operations scattered all over the Escheresque floor.
Colony Expansion
The Colony Expansion levels are new structures that have been built outside surface level. Originally these were just greenhouses to feed the Colony's growing population, but as time has gone on the tenants have diversified.
