− | The sanctuaries are a scattered ring of gated communities that roughly encircle the city and burbs, though there are no sanctuaries in the northern part of the city. These communities are intended for the poor semi-educated workers employed by major corporations. The corporations ultimately own and run everything within the walls. City police rarely venture inside – it is up to the corporate police to keep order here. In theory, the walls serve to protect the communities from the violent world outside. This works up to a point – corporate security has become very adept at preventing weapons from being smuggled in and there is no question that people are safer inside the walls than outside. On the other hand, these citizens are not particularly valuable corporate assets and the corporate police don’t expend a lot of effort to protect them from local predators. At their best, these communities are “lockdowns”, corporate police states. At their worst, these communities are “jungles”, crumbling anarchic ghettoes populated by the least valued of human assets. While each sanctuary is unique, sanctuaries of the Eastside, Southside and Westside tend to have certain features in common, as detailed below. | + | The sanctuaries are a scattered ring of gated communities that roughly encircle the city and burbs, though there are no sanctuaries in the northern part of the city.

Police: Eastside CityPol carefully protects all important corporate assets in the area. Other than that, they largely cede the streets to the gangers. Officers are usually issued with a gyroc pistol and a submachinegun. The police are relatively tolerant towards the carrying of weapons, even at the periphery of territory that they control. However, unless it would be too dangerous to do so, they will usually arrest anyone they see with a military weapon (something of LR 1 or less) and see that the individual gets prison time. They reason that anyone carrying a military weapon was probably planning to do the sort of harm that even they should care about. | Police: Eastside CityPol carefully protects all important corporate assets in the area.
