[9B] — SECTOR 9
The Mesa
Overview
A rocky mesa rising from the bay floor — the old island's bones, stripped of vegetation but structurally sound in ways the surrounding sediment will never be. The mesa's elevation makes it the most defensible position in the Dregs, and the Treasure Heap Market has claimed that advantage: the largest open-air market on the bay floor sprawls across the mesa's flat top, dealing in salvage, trade, stolen goods, and information priced by the syllable. Three major infrastructure arteries converge here — The Span overhead, The Undergrid beneath the surface, and The Deepline running under the bay floor itself — making the mesa a transit chokepoint that every faction covets and none can hold exclusively.
Landmarks
The Mesa — Rocky island rising above the bay floor. Defensible, elevated.
The Span — Primary east-west crossing above the Dregs, carrying three data trunk lines.
The Undergrid — Underground transit system doubling as smuggling corridors and data conduits.
The Deepline — Under-bay-floor tunnel — the most secure data corridor in the Sprawl.
