OK, here's one 'Oh Christ it's WHAT in the Morning?!?' early conglomeration draft of a Luna write up that needs tonnes more work.
LUNA
Holding the unique distinction of being the only other celestial body Man had personally visited pre wave, Earth's moon Luna (or simply The Moon) is the most populus body in Fenspace.
The largest city in Fenspace is Kandor City, based around The Watchtower in Crater Posidonius A. The city has a population of 350,000, and hosts the Metahuman Power Biomodification Research Institute (Supers faction home base), Kandor City Hospital, and the base for the Soviet Air Force "Central Committee" among others.
The Watchtower is the oldest structure on Luna, and lifts a remarkable 1400m from the surface among its sprawling supports on the south-western lip of the crater. The old part of the city along with the old docks and warehouse district are based around these supports and inside the crater, with the actual living area in glass covers sections between the supports on the craters inner rim. Eventually, the fen got inspired (or bored) and built a full bell-like dome over the entire crater. This dome reaches 3Km over the center of the crater and 800m above the height of the Watchtower. The light shinning off it makes it the only man-made structure to be visible by the naked eye from Earth.
Inside the dome, the Supers who built it took advantage of the free space to lay out a clean, tidy, and surprisingly green city. Whilst the old town is crowded, the new city takes the best features of the various cities in fiction and combines them. As such, there is an arrangement of sectors in a series of three rings (Main, Rim, and Outer for those parts outside the crater) split into 12 hour wedges and a core sector. Each of the sectors is linked by the Kandor City Maglev train system and the Heavy Cargo Transport system on the crater rim.
In the Core sector in the centre of the dome is the Trinity Towers arcology. This is a slightly modified version of the Sky City concept from Takenaka Corporation. Being built to the Japanese building code in respect of the country the design came from, the three 1.5km tall 'cities in a building' will dominate the surrounding landscape. When finished in late 2014, each will provide housing for 50,000 people, and workspace for another 100,000. The three towers would be linked by an upper core housing the cities internal airport and main embassies. The Japanese government is officially watching the project, which may gain Clark Universal Construction an Earth-side contract.
On the North side in sectors Rim-12 to Rim-01 are the new Kandor City docks and warehouse district. Also here are the lots of the Silvery Moon Films studios. The heavy industries line the rim of the crater to the west of this area (Rim-11 and Outer-11).
The Watchtower and old docks take up Outer-08, with the Old Town (including such things as Question Alley, the Paragon City Saloon, and Dr J's hardware store).
To the south of the Watchtower are the Metahuman Biomodification Research Centre (a.k.a. Star Labs) and the emergency docks of Kandor City Hospital (Rim-07).
Further round in Rim-06, surrounded by the unique Kandor Bell species of Dandy (taken as the symbol of the place) is the Nekomi Institute of Technology. The Supers running it are gradually getting their courses accredited by 'Daneside authorities, with the first full Degrees due to finish in May 2014. Already N.I.T. is becoming known for its wide variety of clubs, especially its Motor Club which currently holds the record for the fastest ground level circumnavigation of Luna at the equator.
The new business district is in Main-08, containing the offices of the various companies in the City, with the new shopping district in Main-09.
The current residential district takes up Rim and Main ring sections 05 and 04.
Current plans for the rest involve local terraforming to make arable land and induce a permanent 1G area for cattle. The rumored plans to en-dome the entire main Posidonius crater are strongly denied.
To the south on Dorsa Smirnov, the Senshi maintain their Moon Kingdom memorial outpost.
Even further south is Port Luna. Here the US Coast Guard has set up shop to prevent the 'vandalisation' of the site of Man's first extra planetary mission. Port Luna helps serve Tranquillity Base National Park, which it surrounds in a ring of pressurised buildings and connecting walkways. The only United States National Park that is not actually on Earth, Tranquillity Base encompasses a 25-square-mile region centred on the Apollo 11 landing site. A transparent lunar-glass wall over ten meters in height fences off the actual landing site from tourists in order to preserve Armstrong and Aldrin's footprints and the equipment they left behind, but the wall is handwavium-enhanced and will provide magnified images. A nearby Visitor's Centre houses a museum, a theatre in which a 20-minute film about the Apollo 11 mission runs on continuous loop, and a scale model of the site which can be explored with interactive camera drones. The land was originally claimed by Fen, who donated it to the US government on the condition they turn it all into a National Park. The other Apollo landing sites are covered as World Heritage Sites and have 3km exclusion zones.
All except the Apollo 14 landing site. While the lander & immediate area are locked off as historical sites, the rest of the surrounding territory has been converted into the Shepard Memorial Golf Course, the first PGA-approved (well, sort of; they slipped the documents in and got the signatures anyway) 18-hole course offworld.
Near the Luna North Pole is Moonbase Alpha. A more hardtech approach to a city, Moonbase Alpha is more an industrial centre than a place to live. It's also near completely self-sufficient and operates an underground hazardous materials storage site on the Luna dark-side.
Also on the dark side of Luna are the Mare Marginis Construction Sites where the Venus Crystal Cities were constructed and the Senshi's main shipbuilding site exists.
At the Luna South Pole in the Shackleton Crater complex. This is run by the Artemis Corporation and the various Luna colonisation societies in co-operation. Shackleton Crater mines the small amount of ice and hydrogen to be found here, as well as mounts the Blind Io Luna Observatory Complex.
