Abhanri City: Prefabricated city on the planet Kanthi. Characterized by gray concrete and steel, mirrored-glass, building-high neon advertisements, unbreathable air, fisheries, and a heavy Consortium presence. Originally colonized for its proximity to the planet's massive vein of tungsten.

He could see the park buildings towering away in the distance: three massive white cubes more than half a mile high standing on the tundra between downtown Abhanri and the starport. From their height he could see the horizon curling away on all sides, see the CO2 plants in the air farm belching greenhouse gas into an atmosphere that needed it so desperately. Maybe one day people could breathe on Kanthi without air tubes and osmosis packs. Maybe not. He’d heard there was talk of plantings being done in the equatorial regions: beans and peas and the like trying to enrich the quality of the thin and rocky soil.

The Narayan Shipping company had built the tower when Abhanri City was just a few thousand people brought in to mine the massive vein of tungsten that had attracted the first wave colonists. They’d built cheap and fast. The prefab units came in sets of three, which meant every third floor on the tower had the same doors as the first floor.
