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]
Nearsteel
A city-district which gains it's namesake from Steelmound, a Zhao-Arkhad forge temple.[3] Nearsteel is said to have once existed in a valley, between hills to the west and the large Varagan Mountains to the east, marking the end of Nearsteel. What is assumed to have once been a valley has since been filled with the layers of rockcrete and plasteel making up the settlement. The topography limits the number of roads, and they’re crammed to bursting all the time.[3b]
Since the arrival of Steelmound, the forge temple has out competed any low-tech industries in Nearsteel. The only industry keeping the district afloat is it's excess amounts of purified water from the district's rain catchers. The rainy season in the area lending itself to the production of this export.[3b]
There are multiple subdistricts in Nearsteel. There are under-pavement subdistricts like Chainward flood.[3b]
