(Which is really just any old city of ten or fifteen million along the western rim of the Pacific these days.) Or the clean and idealized New Chicago of Buck Rogers. (Or Cloud City back in Star Wars.) Mos Eisley is really compelling, and Firefly's recent popularity has kind of kicked all our Space Towns firmly back into the Hollywood West, but there are other options. That said, those fellows seem like a couple of very nice additions to your port. The place is getting busy and lively.The Composerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14009448596738385017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-51698373963191977452016-10-18T16:01:33.782+01:002016-10-18T16:01:33.782+01:00I struggle to see sci-fi towns as anything OTHER t...I struggle to see sci-fi towns as anything OTHER than Mos Eisley if I'm honest!
