Every heroes' journey starts with some kinda starting location, usually a town, village, moisture farm, shire, etc. Thus - the "Village".

--

The name isn't generic by accident, because names stick. The inhabitants of the Village deliberately don't want to be found by those who live above. A self-sufficient collection of misfits, miscreants, rejects and those who have voluntarily left broader society because let's face it, human society in the Icarus Paradox (regardless of faction or government), kinda sucks.

Protected by both its hidden location deep inside the super-habitat of New Toronto and a series of holographic field generators to hide it from visual scanning, Jason, David and Sam have called the Village home since early childhood, and its inhabitants are their extended "family". Everyone contributes, and all benefit from the small freedom they've managed to eke out amidst the crushing grind that most citizens of the United Earth Federation face.
