Tsukuyomi
The Japanese were the second nation to establish a
permanent presence in Luna, settling in the Gilbert
highlands, and the Nippon Phyle is still a major power
on the Moon. The initial small outpost, a mining
operation in an aluminium-rich area, has grown into the
city of Tsukuyomi.
The development of Tsukuyomi was greatly boosted in
the late 22nd century when GLO chose a nearby site for
the Lunar beanstalk tether. Although relatively low in
population, Tsukuyomi is of great importance to the
cis-Lunar economy. The region around the Tsukuyomi
habitats is the hub of the Lunar transportation grid, at
which the maglev network meets the beanstalk. About
70% of Lunar external trade passes through the
Tsukuyomi terminal.
