has much to offer as a tourist and adventure paradise. It is not surprising to
find the influx of tourists swelling all year round with visitors coming from
all over the Frontier. The main attractions are Jamayca - the only planet of the
system; the third asteroid belt - more commonly known as the Jewels of Andrysa;
and the huge Rest and Relaxation Space Station (RRS Class I) - Olympium - that
orbits halfway between Jamayca and the first asteroid belt.
- Jewels of Andrysa: The Jewels contain
beautiful crystalline asteroids that remain an anomaly of the Palalyrn
Cluster. No one can explain the creation of the Jewels; surveys to the
asteroids are fraught with peril as maneuvering through them (let alone
landing on them) is suicidal especially with the colossal collisions of the
asteroids. Nevertheless, they have remained a sight that must be seen by
all; tourists gawk and marvel at the beautiful sight of the floating crystal
shards from tourism liners that ply the area. Scientists speculate that the
asteroids continue to replenish themselves through an unknown mechanism in
spite of the daily shattering of the Jewels.
- Olympium: The RRS Class I is the
largest in the Palalyrn Cluster which was a huge construction project taking
a century to design, plan, and complete. It consists of 64 large wheel
structures, each attached around a circular doughnut-like tube - known as
the Olympium Ring. Each of the wheels rotate independently around the
Olympium Ring generating their own independent artificial gravity. The
Olympium Ring itself also rotates through space slowly with the Ring's
largest surface permanently "tidal-locked" and facing Creole. Each
of the large wheel structures is capable of housing about 50,000 and there
are levels catering to gambling, shopping, relaxation - in fact, the
Olympium logo boasts of its activities - "You name it, you'll find it
here in Olympium - THE Ultimate Port-of-Call in the Palalyrn Cluster!"
