=Twelve Commons (Epimetheus and Janus)= 
**Posted by:** Sakti Wakashi, Firewall Proxy <__Info__ __Msg__ __Rep__>
Twelve Commons is a neighborhood of [[Anarchists|anarchist]] habitats ﬂoating on and near the co-orbital path of two icy moonlets, Epimetheus and Janus. The area occupied by these stations is a cloud roughly 20,000 kilometers across. Despite the name, the population has expanded beyond the original twelve habitats. Over six million people call the Twelve Commons home. Many of the habitats are focused on particular scientiﬁc, technological, or artistic projects; the habitat design is often speciﬁc to their needs, resulting in a number of unusual station formats.
==DIY Shipyards== 
**Station Type:** [[Clusters|Cluster]]
**Allegiance:** Autonomist Alliance (Anarchist)
**Primary Languages:** Arabic, Malay
**Population:** 10,000
The Do-It-Yourself Shipyards are a highly automated ship-building facility, capable of handling most small and medium-sized spaceship designs. The worker’s syndicate that operates the station will construct a ship for any other anarchist group on one condition—they help out. The workers here simply love to make ships, and they are constantly tinkering with new systems and designs. When someone wants a ship, they’ll present them with a number of options and handle most of the highly technical aspects. The group requesting the ship is brought in, shown the ropes, and included in the project as much as they are capable. They may help acquire the metals and other raw materials, assist with the blueprint programming, help operate the manufactories, run testing and quality control, or simply manually help put it together. The goal is to spread ship-building knowledge among like-minded autonomists. Quite a few unique designs come out of these yards.
==Janus Commons== 
**Station Type:** [[Beehives|Beehive]]
**Allegiance:** Autonomist Alliance (Anarchist)
**Primary Languages:** English, French, Spanish
**Population:** 900,000
Janus is a large and prosperous habitat, known among [[Saturn|Saturnian]] anarchist circles for its chemistry labs and creative theatrical productions. Recently one of its districts suffered from an unknown nanoswarm attack that saw hundreds of biomorphs calcified and turned into living statues. No one has claimed responsibility, though local consensus puts the blame on hypercorp agents. Firewall is not yet sure.
==Long Haul== 
**Station Type:** [[Toruses|Torus]]
**Allegiance:** Autonomist Alliance (Anarchist)
**Primary Languages:** English, Hindi, Mandarin
**Population:** 20,000
The anarchists that founded the Long Haul focus on liberating indentures and infugees locked in deep storage in other habitats. These freed egos are brought in batches to Long Haul, where they are given a new body and introduced to anarcho-collectivist ways of doing things. Since many people from [[Earth]] have only lived under capitalism, autonomist ways of doing things are sometimes alien. The Long Haul helps get them through this period of adjustment. After one year, the new anarchists are relocated to another autonomist habitat, so a new batch of infugees can be brought in. The [[Jovian Republic|Jovians]]and hypercorps call this place an indoctrination camp, but no one is required to stay. A small percentage do, in fact, decide that the anarchist lifestyle is not their thing, and so they opt to egocast elsewhere and take their chances. There has been at least one instance of inner system ego hunters kidnapping former infugees from Long Haul; the person in question made contact with long lost family in the inner system, but the relatives were convinced they had fallen into the hands of cultists and sent mercenaries to “rescue” them.
==Nguyen's Compact== 
**Station Type:** [[Cole bubbles|Cole Bubble]] (Variant)
**Allegiance:** Autonomist Alliance (Anarchist)
**Primary Languages:** French, Khmer, Vietnamese
**Population:** 80,000
This Cole asteroid has an unusual design. Rather than having a single spherical interior, it was constructed with a series of interconnecting spherical bubbles, much like Swiss cheese. It is not spun for gravity, making each of the caverns a micrograv environment. The maze-like interior of this station is confusing to most outsiders, requiring entoptic aids to navigate.
==Red Emma's Dance== 
**Station Type:** Track
**Allegiance:** Autonomist Alliance (Anarchist)
**Primary Languages:** Greek, Italian
**Population:** 2,000
Built on a small asteroid, this entire habitat is set on a rail track, so that it circles around the asteroid, providing light centrifugal gravity. The residents here, following historical anarchist Emma Goldman’s admonition, “If I can’t dance, I don’t want to be part of your revolution,” are dedicated to creative expression, particularly music and motion. Speciﬁcally, they experiment with new morph designs that are musical instruments unto themselves or that are capable of new and pleasantly aesthetic movements. Each morph tends to be a custom design, one-of-a-kind piece; the performances of which they are capable when working together are something unseen anywhere else in the solar system. Many musicians and dancers from here travel on tour throughout the various Saturnian anarchist stations, often catching a lift from Phelan’s Recourse.
==Small Majesties== 
**Station Type:** Cluster
**Allegiance:** Autonomist Alliance (Anarchist)
**Primary Languages:** Spanish, Tagalog
**Population:** 80
Small Majesties was founded by a large collective of nano-artists, dedicated both to creating nano-scale artwork and designing nanoswarms that made wondrous things. Recently, however, a prank nanoswarm triggered a number of long-buried or ignored grudges and personality conﬂicts between the residents out into the open, creating a major schism. A situation that would normally lead to a split has turned into a tense stalemate, however, as both of the factions stubbornly refuse to leave. Despite attempts from other outside collectives to negotiate a resolution, open hostilities have broken out in the hab numerous times, with each side seizing some modules. More worrisome, however, are reports that the rivals are releasing hostile nanoswarms against each other. Nearby anarchists are attempting to quarantine the situation until it is resolved.
