- World:
- Asterwick
- Description:
- Compass Green is the open-air heart of Asterwick: a central park of lawns, formal gardens, trees, and paths arranged around the Arrival Circle, where transient gates between OC universes most commonly manifest. Broad avenues radiate from the Green like compass points, helping new arrivals orient themselves within the city. Beneath the dome there is no artificial sky; during space operations, stars hang above the park’s constantly burning gas-lamp-style lights. The Lantern stands at its edge, off
Environment

Society
- Government:
- Teona, The Crossing's Gatekeeper, is responsible for gate access and arrivals here; as the ship's Administrator she also oversees operations and crew. Wider civic government is unestablished.
- Culture & traditions:
- Every newcomer's life aboard begins here: a gate opens in the circle, delivers a traveller, and withdraws. Arrivals are welcomed at The Lantern beside the park, where people eat, drink, share news, and find company or help. No artificial day-night cycle exists. beneath the space-dark sky it is always night, lamps burn constantly, and clocks alone mark the hours. Every avenue radiates from the arrival circle; the five Sector Keepers of the lower hull rarely appear in the streets.
- Crime level:
- Very Safe
