The glittering jewel of Saturn, the E-District- or "entertainment" district- is Titan Garden's premier travel destination, drawing people from all corners of the Sol system, from all orbital distances, into its dazzling embrace. A glowing monument to life's grandest pleasures, the E-District is home to live theaters, convention halls, fine restaurants, broadcast and recording studios as well as its famous Casino Alley, a strip of hotels and gambling halls designed in the tradition of old Terra. Often considered the B-Districts party-loving sister, if you've got credits to burn and you're looking for a memorable time, it's hard to beat a weekend in Titan's dazzling entertainment oasis!

Stepping off the train at the E-District station is like stepping into a dream. Buskers fill the air with music and colorful lights flood every walkable corner of space- where the A- and B-Districts are accented by neon signs and billboards, here in the E-District it's as if the buildings themselves are aglow with starlight. Taxis shuttle passengers up and down the strip, interrupted now and then by drag racers settling a bet along the colorful straigtaway, quick to cross their quarter-mile and dip before Titan Security rolls up. The architecture lends itself to an exciting background for fun of all types and the ornate building courtyards are a playground for Titan's skater community. While much of the E-District's buildings are ethereal in their beauty, two structures dominate the area: The Imperial Arena and The Mobius Hotel & Casino.

All roads in the E-District lead to the Imperial Arena, Titan Garden's largest event center. Designed in an old Neptunian style said to date back to their Plutonian roots, The Imperial Arena has the capacity to serve up to 21,000 guests and spectators for shows ranging from sporting events to athletic contests to musical concerts and more. SABLE- the Saturn All-Boxers League- is a boxing promotion popular among local residents and planet-hopping starfarers, and while a boxing event is broadcast on television waves throughout the Outer Belt over its relay satellites, the events themselves often take place at the Imperial Arena, and scoring front-row tickets is a dream for many a shiphand in the system.

Maybe you don't want to catch a show, maybe you want to be a part of the action! If you've got a hot wallet and a devil-may-care attitude then the Mobius Casino may be the spot for you. Suspended above a colorful hotel and its in-house bar, lounge and fine dining areas, the Mobius Casino is a one-of-a-kind feat of engineering unlike any to be found throughout the Sol system, and one of Scarlet Redraven's favorite places to be. Built as a literal mobius strip, guests at the Mobius enter the casino from an elevator connected to "the twist", a central location where credits and chips can be exchanged. From here a guest can choose to walk left or right, and whichever way they go they can walk the entirety of the Mobius casino floor and find themselves right back at the twist, ready to buy more chips and hit the floor again! While games of many types are available, the highest of the high-rollers can find special accommodations just beneath the twist itself, upside-down below the chip booth, the colorful streets looming above them.

This unique strip design is achieved through careful implementation of a series of gravmesh floor panels inside a gravity-controlled enclosure, visible from the outside as a big mobius strip set above the E-District skyline. The ceiling inside this enclosure provides lighting and atmosphere on top and along the sides of the strip itself, while the bottom section is built from thick Neptunian diamond glass, allowing a dizzying view of the Mobius plaza from many odd angles. One could jump from one section of the strip to another, but this is frowned upon and will earn a quick visit from security. It's not -that- big that you can't just walk to your game of choice, but it is bigger than it looks thanks to its one-sided two-side design. From amateur to professional, there's a seat waiting for you somewhere in the Mobius Casino.

Titan Garden is, among its many charms, home to a rich network of villains and thieves, and it's no secret among them that the Mobius Casino guarantees its house payouts with a vault of treasures collected by the building's enigmatic owner. Rumor is the vault is built into the floors of the building that the Mobius strip connects to, with no apparent door or entryway from the elevator shaft, from the floors above or from the floors below. Rumor is, the only way into the vault is behind a very specific painting hanging on the hotel wall in the high-rollers section, in the underside of the twist. The high-roller section is one of the most heavily-monitored sections of the casino, visible from the ground level through its diamond-glass paneling, from the building's security cameras as well as from about half of the rest of the casino floor itself. A few outfits have tried to rob the Mobius with no success, and while their failures have only helped the Mobius improve their security, they have been instructive to other thieving little flocks of birds who keep their heads down and their eyes open. The Red Raven Towing & Salvage crew have been quietly trying to plan a way to rob the Mobius Casino for years, and while they have the broad framework of a plan in their back pocket, in order for it to succeed they'd need to enlist the help of their salvage-hunting rivals, Timberwolf Reclamation & Demolition. The two crews have a range of skills across the lot of their members and extended networks of associates, and getting into- and out of- the Mobius vault undetected, while navigating what gravity-twisting geometry lies therein, will take all of their skill and professionalism. The risks would be great but the take would be huge and the job would be legendary, if only the two crews could work together as one. Until that day comes, the glittering jewel of Saturn sits, enchanting locals and visitors alike with its chromatic and inviting aura, its secrets tucked away like a knife in its sleeve.

Book a hotel room, catch a show at the Imperial Arena, try your luck at the Mobius Casino. Come to Titan Garden's E-District: your credits may be fleeting but the memories will last a lifetime.

Tucked comfortably in the heart of the domed city, the B-District, or the "business" district, is the commercial hub of Titan Garden. Characterized by its glass towers and glowing advertisements, the B-District draws a lot of foot traffic from station residents and layovered travelers alike, its boutique shops and gourmet restaurants making it a popular tourist destination, second only to Titan's famous entertainment district. Parva's Imparvium stocks the bleeding edge in wearable technology from all corners of Sol, try on the latest fashion at Nælqino or catch a big stage performance at the Alleycat Theater. Be sure to book a reservation at the Trident well in advance, the restaurant's gentle atmosphere and convergence of three cooking styles always draws high-end business diners and hungry romantics alike. Try Qaab for stronger quills. Drink Spapi, it's the fizzilator. Welcome to the big city!

Since Titan Garden is a commercial hub for the entire Sol system it's natural that most interplanetary corporations maintain offices on the station. Corporate logos and animated mascots emblazon the skyline of the B-District, looming above the street-level ads and trainside billboards like kings and lords of their industries. While these corporations maintain home offices on their world of origin it's often the Titan branch that sees the most traffic from intersecting, collaborating or competing companies- the glass spires of the B-District are vaults teeming with valuable data just ripe for the picking. Thieving little birds will often try their luck at a corporate tower, but heists like that are strictly for professionals. In addition to their top-of-the-line security technologies, the B-District's corporate offices enjoy the conspicuous protection of plain sight, existing at the center of a colony that never sleeps. The pay for security detail is exceptional, attracting talent to protect these offices, but the pay for clandestinely stealing a rival corporation's jeweled secrets is even better. If you dress as clean as your résumé there's plenty of work to be had in the B-District.

In contrast to the A-District's rough & tumble residents, the B-District tends to be trafficked by the affluent and white-collared. The station's rumbling transit system connects all of its districts, so a night on the town isn't out of anyone's reach, but for people with means a more-spacious and less-compacted living accommodation can be had in the beating heart of the city. Housing in the B-District can range from cozy to kingly, exclusive penthouses overlooking the whole of the Garden's sprawl, with secure lobbies and key-coded elevators to guarantee privacy in an outworld space colony where privacy is no guarantee. For everyone else it's a trainride up to midtown to see the B-District but those who can afford it are greeted with a breathtaking view of Saturn outside the Garden's diamond-glass dome from their home above the station's walls.

The B-District isn't just shops and corpos, it's also the medical hub of Titan Garden. Being conveniently centered near the station's inner pillar, Titan General Hospital is located in the B-District, offering emergency care to the station's residents from all sectors. Airborne traffic on Titan is restricted to the outer ring of the Dockyards but emergency vehicles have special clearance to pass between the city's towers, often ferrying distressed starfarers from emergency services straight to Titan General. Clinics, pharmacies and urgent care centers operated by Titan General can be found throughout the station; while the B-District's housing is exclusive to the well-bankrolled, no one on Titan is turned away from medical care for lack of ability to pay.

One of the more popular offshoots of Titan's medical industry, in part due to the rigors and dangers of life in space, is its cybernetics wing. Many of Titan's residents sport some mineral component grafted to their organic bodies, and whether you have a need or a desire to join their numbers the cybernetics clinics you'll want to visit are all found in the B-District, in close proximity to Titan General. Like any other good or service, starfarers seeking prosthetics have a range of styles to choose from, with different clinics offering their own hardware with its own unique strengths and drawbacks. If you've been thinking of getting augmented consultation is available to match your needs to the right product; if you've just been stitched up and you're resting in one of their beds Titan General offers a range of brochures and holodata for the newly-shorn to peruse while they heal. Whatever the root of your needs, aftercare is important and regular check-ins with your cybernetics technician are recommended. It isn't uncommon for newly-grafted recipients of cybernetics to feel a bit self-conscious about their hardware, but the train lines to the medical sector are often populated with residents openly sporting their own metal parts, many on their way to a check-up, and seeing how normal and accepted cybernetics are can go a long way to making a new patient feel a bit better.

Whatever your business is on Titan Garden, odds are you'll loop through the B-District at some point or another. If you're lucky enough to swing by during the winter season you'll get to see the art and architecture of the midtown tower district dusted in a blanket of snow, courtesy of the overhead weather simulators. The open streets and glowing signs paint a picturesque portrait of a homeworld cityscape in this remote corner of space. Keep a camera on you in your travels, you'll never know what you might see on the crosswalks or causeways of Titan's bustling city center.

The main city of Titan Garden is divided into a number of districts, labeled A through G. The largest and most densely-populated is the A-District, or the "all-purpose" sector, where residential clusters are stacked on top of street-level shops of every kind. The A-District is built to be highly walkable, there are vehicle streets that run in and around the area but a network of pedestrian roads crisscross the station- it's easy to get lost if you're not watching where you're going but if you walk long enough you're bound to pop out at a main road sooner than later. Metal grates can be found frequently on the floor, designed to collect water from the rain and snow that the artificial weather system produces, so be sure not to drop your keys or your credit chip, you most likely won't be getting them back. Savvy little guys know this and will find their way beneath the streets to collect these treasures, so if you see an open grate don't close it up behind someone! Be courteous, please.

Neon signs and colorful lights are the main theme of the A-District. The station's dull metal plating becomes a canvas, and every shop's signage is a brushstroke. Most of the A-District's businesses are small private shops rather than large corporate branches; you can find curios, knick-knacks, apparel, weapons and hardware from every world in the Sol system in Titan's A-District, and then catch a show at one of the area's little hole-in-the-wall venues. It's cramped but culturally rich, representing the best of what Titan Garden has to offer.

Stacked above the glowing pedestrian roads are housing units for locals who choose to live on the station full-time. Housing in the A-District is generally pretty cozy, with many units resembling a mid-sized starship's cabin quarters while larger flats are available for families. Many of the dockworkers have homes in the A-District, and the commute to work is generally a pleasant walk, as the district immediately neighbors the dockyard ring. A nice perk of that is the spectacular view- while an A-District apartment might be small, the elevated homes offer a clear look out the diamond-glass dome, providing a breathtaking glimpse of Saturn itself.

Given this close proximity, one of the most prominent features of the A-District is its pubs. One of the bigger venues is the Ox & Carriage, a popular spot for dockhands, service workers, roughnecks and hard-bitten starfarers to stop in after a hard day and unwind with a drink and a game. Rooms for rent are available for travelers stopping in Titan Garden for a night, or for patrons who for whatever reason aren't in any condition to make it home under their own power. Games of chance are usually run at the tables, there is a small stage for a live band to play and fights for sport or for spite are not uncommon sights at the Ox & Carriage.

One of the other important roles pubs like the Ox & Carriage serve is they are reliable places to find work. Not steady paycheck-type work, mind you, but odd jobs and adventurous little tasks are sought and offered all the time at an A-District pub. Salvage companies that they are, both Red Raven and Timberwolf are regulars at the Ox & Carriage and they're not above getting into a bit of trouble if it seems fun enough. Sometimes when salvaging hits a dry period a job from a pub-goer can help pay the bills, and other times a specific job requires a specialist's touch and the two companies will look to hire on a temp worker from the Ox & Carriage to lend their unique skills and help see a job through.

If you're on Titan for a day or you're in it for the long haul, the A-District is a key point of interest. There's a lot to do, a lot to see and a lot of people to meet. Whether or not you're looking for trouble, sooner or later trouble will find you so you may as well jump in feet-first and enjoy the ride.
