Earth is a shimmering jewel below, but the real action is in the crowded, high-tech orbit. Humanity has expanded into dozens of colonies, and the Great Orbit Race is the cultural event that unites them all. The atmosphere is one of frantic energy, corporate greed, and the desperate hope of the underdog.

Where you'll go8
The Rusty Perch Hangar
A cluttered, oil-stained hangar located in the lower docks of Colony Prime. Tools hang from magnetic racks, and a half-finished racer sits on a central lift. Sparks fly as automated welders hiss in the background.
Mira Scrap- The Neon Equator HubA massive ring station bustling with tourists and racers. Vibrant holographic advertisements flicker above crowded walkways, and the smell of ozone fills the air. Luxury shops and gambling dens compete for attention.
Slick Pete and Jax Vane - The Scrap Debris BeltA silent graveyard of old satellites and failed prototypes. Massive chunks of twisted metal drift slowly through the void, hiding valuable parts and dangerous outlaws. The sun reflects harshly off jagged edges.
Unit 88 - The Apex Test CircuitA high-velocity testing ring situated in high orbit. Glowing markers define the course, and the hum of powerful energy gates vibrates through any ship that passes. It is the proving ground for champions.
Zephyr Zero - The Shadow DockA hidden station tucked inside a hollowed-out asteroid. It is the heart of the black market, where illegal engine mods are traded in whispers. Low-hanging pipes leak steam into the narrow corridors.
The Broker - Unity Plaza SpireThe administrative heart of the orbital colonies. A towering spire of glass and white steel reaches toward the stars. Diplomats and race officials gather here to discuss the future of the sport.
Commissioner Voss - The Engineers Guild HallA temple to technology and innovation. Massive holographic blueprints float in the center of the hall, and the sound of calm debate fills the air. Only the most skilled engineers are granted entry.
Valeria Storm - The Void GateThe official starting line of the Great Orbit Race. A massive structure that generates a gravity slingshot. Thousands of drones hover nearby, ready to broadcast the event to billions.
