Christopher's Landing

Christopher's Landing, is the first colony founded March 12, 2052 at the site where the DY-400 SS Stockholm landed, engaging in the ground part of the 2nd Titan Expedition. The expedition was largely funded by a reclusive financier and visionary Micah Brack, two hundred and seven colonists, and licensed through the New United Nations to grant the expedition dominion over the Saturnian Moon.
Centuries later, Christopher's Landing was the capital city of a colony thriving in spite of a methane rich, freezing atmosphere. The capital had begun as a single experimental dome of barely three kilometers diameter, a proof of concept. By the year 2250, that single dome was replaced by dozens of smaller farm or research domes, surrounding a circular walled city just under thirty six kilometers in diameter, and a space port, all defended by a layered energy dome which maintains the atmosphere and environment of the capital city of Titan.
As a freeport, Christopher's Landing grew in population rapidly, mostly those looking to flee the Optimum Movement, or the ravages of the war on Earth. In the centuries to follow, it was a place of opportunity, a port of call, a layover for ships, and many other things. By 2400, the population of the city had swollen to 900,000+ citizens, and as many as 120,000 transient's making use of the city as a stop on their journeys. It is considered to be prime layover for cargo ships, which will dock at the orbital facilities to offload or load cargo, before another leg on their ever continuing journeys.

At the heart of the city, is the original settlement, the dome collapsed and stored into the deployment ring. The area is referred to as Founder's Park. The majority of original settlement structures had been removed, with only a few compounds remaining in the periphery. The two kilometer diameter center of the city, had been transformed into a lush green zone, with open access to all citizens of Titan. Limning the original perimeter is Founder's Blvd, with the remaining original compounds facing the park, designed for shipping access from the boulevard.

=== Travel ===
Nearby cities of Catalina City, Huygenstadt, and Christoper City can be reached via unground hyperloop tube, or via rovers on the surface. The former being safer, because of the methane/ethane rich atmosphere of Titan. Transit through the atmosphere is closely monitored and regulated for safety due to flammability. Flight control maintains remote piloting of craft wishing to land in the Capital City Star Port, Titan Spaceport in Catalina City, or Huygenstadt Enclave Dock Yard. Christopher City is a restricted no fly zone(as of 2428), due to the on going gas mining and refining operations in the area. All access to Christopher City is restricted to tube travel.
