The Babylonian Underground

New Babylon Underground


The underground is a series abandoned subway stations and pockets of the old city simply built over. The buildings comprising the Underground were the remnants of Cities that stood upon the grounds where New Babylon now rests.  What remains are twisting passages, old streets that still have the street level business fronts, cavernous halls, and miles upon miles of pathways.  Though largely unmapped by most, the Underground has a few areas that have not only become popular, but have become integral to the Mega Cities shadowy side.


The Golden Mile

The Golden Mile is one of the most sought after area's in New Babylon's underground. It has a violent history that has changed hands several times over the past thirty years, as Gangs, Crime Organizations, and Shadow Culture Political groups have tried to push the others out entirely. It has been developed, renovated and established since 2055 when it was accidentally discovered while a section of tunnel was being mapped for underground smuggling routes. For the last two years the Golden Mile has been under the protection of the Yakuza, it was previously part of the Russian Mafiya territories but the Russians where forced to retreat after a week of blood and attacks by the Japanese caused heavy loses to the Syndicate's ranks. The Golden Mile is a perfect example of Street Law, subject to the rules of those who run it. The establishments within the mile have the freedom to act outside of New Babylon’s privatized law enforcement agencies as well as away from the prying eyes of the Watchers. In exchange they provide free services to the controlling body or pay weekly 'Rent'. There are many entrance way’s into this underground. One just needs to know where to look with in Sales.
