Locations

**The Old Golden Harp**

A major location for the students is the centre called 'The Old Golden Harp'; known as "The Harp" colloquially. It is a sort of community hub for the school, with cafes, bars and shops on the ground floor with rooms for the various school clubs on the floor above. The Sensha-do team has one such room. There is also an adjoining space, about the size of a large broom cupboard, which Shannon calls her office and is her personal space. Most of the room is taken up with a chair, a writing desk with her laptop on it, her sewing machine, and piles of incomplete paperwork.

**The Museum**

The School has a museum which is known to have a variety of Irish artefacts. Among these is a M1927 pattern Irish steel helmet. The museum previously had a replica of a Vickers Mk D tank; the first tank to see service with the Irish armed forces. This tank is now on permanent loan to the Sensha-do team, after it was restored and brought up to Sensha-do specifications when the team was formed. It is usually commanded by Shannon, the overall commander, as it is her favourite tank.

**The Hare’s Head**

In 'Speedster and Spymaster' by Rosy, the team has been banned from *The Old Golden Harp* and have turned to other establishments to drown their sorrows. One such place is *The Hare’s Head*. The pub is one of many pubs onboard the schoolship. What makes this one special, however, is its close proximity to the team’s training field, which allows the team to discreetly use their tanks on the road with only a minimal chance of being caught.

**Training Field**

The Training Field is where the magic happens; it is where the legend of Shamrock will be born, as the team practice their craft day in and out. Starting its life as a soccer field, the land had been left to the elements when that team was disbanded, however it was given a second chance when the student council had allowed the Sensha-do team to use it for their training. The ground has been cleared of its grass, the stands for the crowds removed to make more space and a fine layer of dirt spread across it, allowing for better manoeuvrability for the three tanks of the team.

A portion of the land had been set aside as a shooting range; where mounds of earth are heaped up to serve as stationary targets, and an obstacle course complete with a set of inclines and trenches that drivers have to deal with in order to effectively steer their armoured vehicles through the battlefield. The rest has been used as a parade grounds and has been left in a relatively flat state to allow for the assembly of the team.

Next to the parade grounds are the vehicle sheds, repurposed warehouses, where the team not only store their vehicles and equipment to go to with them but also where they perform any repair and maintenance for their tanks. Towering above the field, is an observation tower, where the League-sanctioned Sensha-do instructor, if present, can coordinate the team during practice.

**Faultry Tower**

In 'Speedster and Spymaster' by Rosy, the St. Gloriana envoy has been booked for the night into one of the select-few hotels onboard. This five-story high hotel towers over the surrounding buildings and has its own exquisite garden in the land surrounding it. Other than its garden, the other amenities the hotel provides include a rooftop terrace and its own restaurant.

**Glendalough Park**

Glendalough Park is a valley in the main deck of the *Unicorn*.  It is the biggest of its kind on board a carrier. The reason for its existence is actually a structural defect caused by the ship's long service life with St. Gloriana (which is why the school was able to buy the carrier so cheaply in the first place). Rather than repair the deck, it was decided, with a bit of ingenuity and modelling, to transform this embarrassing scar into a scenic valley, complete with the flora to go with it. This green space is very popular with residents and visitors alike.

One downside is that rainwater can drain down the valley sides and collect at the bottom, so the valley floor tends to be very boggy. To address this, twin lakes have been created at the bottom that people can swim and canoe in.

Instead of constructing steep roads which could turn into accident hotspots, the council built two road bridges that crossed the length of the depression. The school's monorail also runs along the edge of the Park, giving its passengers (at least those on the correct side) a perfect birds eye view of the valley

**St. Brigid's Hospital**

    The main hospital on the schoolship is called St. Brigid's, but usually referred to as "St. Biddy's" by residents. It is a well equipped and homely hospital with individual rooms for patients rather than wards.  Even the food is reported to be of an above-average standard!

Fortunately, the Sensha-do Team rarely need to make use of its facilities (unfortunately, however, the same cannot be said for Dance Club…).

**The Salmon of Knowledge**

Referred to by students as Salmon-senpai,  the Salmon of Knowledge is a long bronze statue of the similarly named creature in Irish mythology. Made to look like a fish leaping out of the water, the statue is mounted on a large stone plinth, spewing out water from its mouth. It is situated in the main school campus.

Local urban legend has it that one student accidentally drank some of the water and soon thereafter managed to ace all her tests that day. This kickstarted a spree of students drinking the water in an attempt to pass their subjects or do well in examinations. The practice has become so widespread that the Student Council has to step in and ban it, but this only served to further the credibility of the *magical water*.

Now it is not uncommon for bottles of the liquid to be sold like hotcakes during quiz days and with a bit of luck, one can watch a desperate student run up to the installation and lean out over the pool just to try to gulp some of Salmon-senpai’s essence.

The knowledgeable part of the student body have always looked down upon the tradition and have tried their hardest to prove that not only does the water do nothing for one's intelligence but that it might also be dangerous to one's health. Alas, their advice has, in the main, fallen on deaf ears.
