Dei-atbatant

Dei-atbatant was founded in the early days of stage two colonization of the planet of Br'rvaGishani. The city is under the firm control of the ValuSelu Pact, with the Pact's resources the small colony expanded into a town and then a city in a matter of decades.

The city is built upon an engineered Corralum layer. This allowed the entire city to be grown from the bedrock up through a mix of applied urban architecture and bioengineering.

The city is home to over one and a half million people, and is projected to climb as the Pact reinforces its position in the system. It's primary economic focus is in working sub-corralum quarries with concentrations of ferrous metals.

A city grown from nothing

Dei-atbatant was built upon an empty geologically stable plains. Using biologically engineered Corralum, the city is 'planted' first. Several teams of engineers are then stationed to stay with the growing corralum two decades, nurturing the newly growing city.

As the corralum grows, concrete printers are brought in to begin setting parts of the city into place. The teams of engineers then will guide the corralum to grow over the set city parts.


The Phases of Dei-atbatant's growth

Phase Duration Description
Support 10 J-Year

Strong support corralum is seeded and then shaped to form ventricle support structures.

By the end, the city is already a kilometer tall in growth.

Underlayment 1 J-Year

This phase begins with the construction of Abyssal docks and ends with the production of geological survey equipment.

The corralum grows around the buildings set in.

Lower City 4 J-Year

Underground transitways and under city facilities are laid out. This can include cargo and passenger lines, and is designed to create criss-cross grids across the cities perimeter.

Some early colonists can begin living in the city as it grows over them.

Cistern 8 J-Year

To protect the lower and upper levels from flooding, a massive cistern system is installed to allow the movement of water between city sections and if needed out of the city entirely.

This cistern provides water treatment and reservoir storage as well.

Upper City 5 J-Year

After one layer of basement-level utilities such as networking, electronics, and plumbing, the upper city is constructed.

At this point, colonists will be phased in to live in the buildings as they are completed.

Cap 5 J-Year

The final stage of the city building process is building any above surface structures and a full abyssal level inspection to ensure no pillars are being compromised by the build.

At the end of the cap, a city-wide festival is held for an entire week.

A city being actually grown that's a really cool concept and visual to think about, I like that one, definitely a fun idea can't wait to see what else you might do with it!

I love the idea of a city being grown. Love that you have put a timeline in to show how long each stage takes too.
