Varangantua is a vast Hive city on the Imperial world Alecto[1f]. The city has a population of billions and is so large that it stretches over different climatic zones. Because of its size, Varangantua has been subdivided into numerous districts, which are watched over by the Varangantuan Enforcers[1a] and are defended by the Alecto Urban PDF Regiments[1e].
As Varangantua's sprawl nears the coast of Alecto's oily seas, it starts breaking up into scattered oceanic habitats and offshore industrial sites which petered out to nothing.[3a]
History
Founding
Districts
Korsk
A city-district that struggled with lawlessness like much of Varangantua and home to several people of note, such as Probator Lycia Calix and the serial killer known only as the Butcher of Korsk. Most of Korsk was destroyed in an incident involving a falling spacecraft; the matter was labeled as a malfunctioning servitor-shuttle and shelved by the Praesidium. The tragedy would rock Varangantua, but unfolding conspiracies around the incident would prove that there was more to the incident than official word indicated.[2]
Urgeyena
Urgeyena is a diverse city-district, containing shabby habclaves like Vostoka as well as the homes of the gilded in Revenna.[1b][1c] As a meddling district it doesn't host its own voidport, instead it uses ports for suborbital haulers and receiving stations for mag-transports from Saltstone to process goods - both ingoing and outgoing.[1c][1d]
