Entry
Night City International and Translunar Spaceport (NCX) is Orbital Air's flagship investment in North America. It was built between 2045 and 2047 where the majestic Morro Rock volcanic neck, a geological feature sacred to local Native American tribes, had stood for 23 million years. But it wasn't heartless corpos who gave permission to demolish the rock – Night City authorities did.
In consultation with a group of investors, the Mayor of Night City agreed to sign a contract to construct a mass driver at the site. Orbital Air management was understandably skeptical that rocket-free launches could successfully take place without corporate backing to ensure its profitability. Therefore, the aerospace megacorp proposed buying up the surrounding land and sprearheading further investment, offering to build a civilian spaceport in the process.
Orbital Air only partially fulfilled the deal, however. By taking advantage of several legal loopholes, the corp cancelled a provision in the arrangement for completing the mass driver's construction. Its rusted, incomplete remains were then eventually dismantled, and OA's monopoly on space colonization remained intact.
Night City International and Translunar Spaceport handles more than 100 million passengers a year and contains three terminals. Terminal A is home to OA TerraLines, a relatively low-cost airline that provides low-orbit transportation services around the globe. Terminal B houses the slightly more expensive OA Tycho and Crystal Palace Direct lines, hauling travelers to the largest lunar city and the famous space station, respectively. Terminal C, on the other hand, is where OA Black and OA HighLines luxury shuttles operate. The purpose and destinations of these flights remain largely unknown, and the cost of that discretion is reflected in the exorbitant ticket prices.
