Nova Roma

Nova Roma,

Capitol city of the Pan Saran empire on planet Spqr.

Up to 5050 about 50 Billion union citizen lived and worked in the metropole. Only after the completion of the Orbi ring that number is now steadily declining.

All Non Union Pan Saran institutions, except for the Senate have also relocated to the ring..

The Pan Sarans have begun with a massive city restoration and clean up in 5050 as well.

Nova Roma was, except for the Senate district and old and dirty city, with thousands of years of construction and polution.

At one point of its history, it was called the White City for the white marble used in the core district construction.

Famous sites are the Senate copula, the Avenue of heroes , Cesars palace, and the Sqare of Emperors.

Many of the buildings are made of traditional building materials like stone, marble and concrete.

Many buildings are copies or built in the style of Ancient Rome of Earth.

The Sewer system is completly out dated and inadequate. While big buildings now feature inhouse recycling, many of the old buildings still relied on old fashioned underground gravitation drained

sewers. There are no big industries but many thousand smaller factories. The large manufacturing plants were spread all over the planet and have now migrated to the ring as well.

Nova Roma has lost much of its impotance after the foundation of the Union, but is still considered the cultural focal point of the 1,500 old pre Union Pan Saran worlds and about 4,500 Pan Saran

colonies that were established during the Pan Saran Union Migration (similar event to the Terran Second Exodus).

Members of many Union societies live and work in Nova Roma.

There are ten Transmatter Connections and a Class A space port (Until 5050)
