Glisten City
The 1950 levels of the Grand
Concourse in Glisten City are lined
with over 3 million shops, restaurants, theaters and hotels. All retail
commerce in Glisten City is concentrated here. Amphitheaters and food courts
are spread around the Green, as well as ever-changing cultural exhibits.
The lagoon offers swimming, sailing and SCUBA diving. All facilities on
the Grand Concourse are open continuously, except the Zoo which restricts
sections as needed to simulate natural environments for its denizens.
The Grand concourse is maintained at 0.3 G to facilitate
Ornithoptery, offered on the Green at the launch hill. Numerous landings
on the elevated concourse levels offer refreshments and storage of wings
while shopping.
The Shrub
Gardens Glisten Zoo and Cultural Park contains flora and fauna from
many worlds in the Spinward Marches and Deneb sectors and 42 system displays
with local crafts and amusements. Submarine tours of the Lagoon to view
the many varieties of sea life are organized by Shrub Gardens. A Tram line
running from the park through the walls of the Lagoon also is an exhibit
for simulated planetary geology.
The home of the Astroburger

is difficult to go more than 1 Km without passing one any where in the
Glisten system. The Astroburger museum at Glisten City and demonstration
algae farms at each major habitat are a popular destination with tourists
and school children.

and equipment.
