Uoodo City

Uoodo is an overpulated, over-polluted, decaying city of depravation located in the underground sections of an abandoned base on planet Melkia. This base was once hit by a battle-torn space cruiser that remains permanently lodged in its impact point. Smaller settlements and a police heliport surround Uoodo on the surface, which are subject to periodic acid rain produced by unchecked pollution rising from the city. Air traffic is received on the still-intact runways on the city "roof."

Although Uoodo is an entirely unsavory place, it is heavily populated and serves as an excellent base of operations for the Secret Society. It is into these mean streets that Chirico Cuvie wanders while on the run from the Melkian army following the Lido raid.

Surrounded by all manner of rogues and criminals, Chirico needs all of his battle-honed skills to survive, especially when his path crosses that of the mysterious "prototype" he saw on Lido - a new breed of warrior just as deadly as she is captivating.

Uoodo History

Uoodo was built on the Planet Melkia as a heavily-fortified military base designed to withstand a planetary bombardment. It was the first of five such facilities planned. However soon after its completion, a Balarant attack left it so damaged that it was no longer suitable for use as a military base.

After the military's withdrawal, Uoodo became a gathering point for refugees attempting to build a new life. Because the city existed in a stage of anarchy, however , public disorder and violence swept through the streets virtually unchallenged until the war's end. Order was finally imposed when returning soldiers descended on Uoodo. Thus, the "Security Police" was established. But when it was discovered that jijirium could be mined from the ruins of a computer factory on the surface, gang leaders established covert alliance with the corrupt police force - allowing the gangs to force hapless citizens into slavery.

Uoodo is five kilometers wide and three kilometers deep. The underground sections is divided into three levels. The lowest level, B3, is uninhabited and houses the city's power reactor. Levels B1 and B2 are residential blocks. The surface level houses the airport and military facilities. Elevators and stairways connect the levels at various points. Population is estimated at 50,000.
