The Hidden Cities
Inside the huge Central arcologies, elements of the Street and the Underworld have set up so called “Changzi”, undercities, hidden cities, parasitic townships, that fester inside the gigantic megastructures of the arcologies, using a mixture of hacking the internal networks and sealing off currently unused parts of the buildings to house approximately 3.000 people, most of which have prices on their heads, are hunted by the authorities or have other reasons for secluding themselves from the world outside. The Sun Yee On Triads hide a lot of their tech- and drug laboratories in these parts of town, while the 14Ks use them as the wandering location of the biggest “Black Market” of south east asia, the “Thieves Market”.
[ Characters with some ranks in Streetwise, Fringe Benefits indicating Triad / Underworld membership or Area Knowledge: Changzi will have the necessary means to come up with information about the current whereabouts of the Hidden Cities and the Thieves Market. Access: Thives Market or Changzi is necessary for characters being constantly informed and updated about the most recent location of these places, though good standing with the Triad in question is usually required in order to acquire this perk. In the Hidden Cities characters can find unlicensed, well equipped cyberdocs, underground lawyers and a lot of prominent local figures from the Dive underground living here in avoidance of the Law. ]
