History and specifics

Chicago a close copy of the real city of Chicago of Earth in 1928. Rather than a lake, it sat beside an ocean, on a river that was much wider than the Chicago River of Earth. The streets and buildings were as accurate as possible, though Iotians who visited the real Chicago tended to be disappointed. Every major clan had possession of at least one ward in Iotian Chicago.

Due to Iotia's extreme weather and common earthquakes, few Iotian cities survived for more than a century or two without suffering a major fire or earthquake.

Geographically, Chicago was located in the Southside Territory, a nation-state controlling the southern part of the continent Ekal. The Tranfel Mountains were located north of Chicago, and the Varelk Mountains to the north-east. On the cities western shores, the Stranek Sea separated Chicago from the Egaph continent in the west, and Uil in the south. Ekal was situated in the northern hemisphere.

In the 2260s, the city was visited by a landing party of the Federation starship USS Enterprise. (TOS episode: "A Piece of the Action")

By 2271, WAXY was a radio broadcaster reaching the entire city. (FASA RPG module: Another Piece of the Action) (Decipher RPG module: Worlds)
