[[New_Kingdom_of_Adhomai#Royalism\|Royalists]] have found little presence, something which in part explains the relative lack of political dissent or violence within the Tajaran community. Rather, friction between the original immigrants and “Sahirii”, or urbanites, prevails.

	Given the Gibsonite community’s distance to the embassies on Biesel, many ~~Tajaran~~ on New Gibson have grown distant to the Adhomian factions. ~~Few~~ conflicts center around political beliefs or other matters, the community being rather cohesive for a Tajaran community due to the pressures of the moon overriding further tension points. Given Gibsonite culture as a whole, the Hadiist monoculture is the common basis for Gibsonite Tajara. Communalism is a strong influence. Emphasis on the Tajaran contribution to the Gibsonite system prevails, in part fed by the Gibsonite [[New Gibson#Social_Attitudes\|views on work]]. This, combined with the Tajaran sleep cycle, sees an unhealthy dedication to work. Anti-corporate belief is a growing sentiment among Gibsonite Tajara. The first waves of immigrants attributed their ability to immigrate with [[NanoTrasen Corporation]] and other corporate contracts. However, with shifting trends among Gibsonites, and the growth in the anti-corporate Al’mariist Tajara within the community, many are beginning to turn against the corporations, even as they continue to sign contracts with them.

	With the tajaran adaptations to the cold and willingness to take on dangerous jobs, tajara often find employment among the hardier occupations in New Gibson’s frigid surface environment, competing with [[New Gibson#IPCs_on_New_Gibson\|\|IPCs]]. This may be in the logistical rings, deeper mining tunnels, and spaceports — distant from phorovolcanic chambers heating the colonies — to working on [[New Gibson#Glacier_Bricks\|glacier bricks]] which ferry bulk goods and people between the colonies. Like other New Gibsonites who have turned from the megacorporations, many tajara find themselves drawn to permanent glacier brick inhabitation as seen in the [[New Gibson#Glacier_Fleet\|Glacier Fleet]].

	Altogether, with Gibsonite tajara almost seamlessly meshing into New Gibson’s work ethic and having already benefitted from the integration of [[New Gibson#Skrell_on_New_Gibson\|skrell]], New Gibson has a rather positive view of tajara and one not besmirched by constant exposure to the ~~ongoings~~ of [[Mendell City]]. [[New Gibson#Virklund\|Virklund]] is one exception, with its views towards tajara lagging behind other colonies, however it is still a significant improvement over the [[Solarian Alliance]] and scarcely bubbles into open hostility.

	The logistical ring, '''Weyland Ring''', is largely shuttered, however the remaining refineries and factories continue to export large quantities of non-phoronic materials and construction supplies. These factories and refineries comprise the last of [[Hephaestus Industries]]’ assets still on New Gibson, and many former–NanoTrasen Corporation factories have over time been purchased by [[Einstein Engines]] and [[Orion Express]]. Serving the refineries is a still active mining team, composed of Orion and Einstein contractors, locally-owned businesses, and individuals or small groups completing bounties posted by the local administration.

	'''[[~~Human_Educational_Institutes~~#Virklund_University\|Virklund University]]''' occupies a sector of the Weyland Ring and is the oldest university on New Gibson. Its campus has shrunk in recent years and it only has a small student accommodation block. Most students seek accommodation off-campus. Despite being overshadowed by [[Human_Educational_Institutions#New Gibson University\|NGU]] in [[New_Gibson#Respite]], it is generally regarded as superior when it comes to more conventional, non-phoronic engineering courses.

	The colony’s infrastructure is heavily outdated, only ever partially being retrofitted to include phoronic infrastructure, however this has since been un-fitted again. General maintenance has been allowed to fall, as the colony’s engineering and maintenance services rack their brains solving the issue of Virklund’s cooling phorovolcanic chamber and how to continue to supply heating and power to the colony’s inhabitants. A contract is in the making for Einstein Engines to revitalise Virklund’s infrastructure, however it has seen delays for 2 years now.

	Where other colonies focus on industry, Xoikko was poised to be a local agricultural producer and tourist hotspot. Xoikko’s surface level is lined with entertainment and tourist venues, with the more expensive spots having views of New Gibson’s landscape or [[Reade]] and its system of moons and satellite bodies above. [[Idris Incorporated]] has a noticeable presence here, and its Idris XTreme Snow Park is a common outing for many across the [[Tau Ceti]] system. Below ground, vast hydroponics rings serve the moon which, otherwise, has very limited agricultural capacity and previously (and still does, to a more moderate degree) rely on Biesel for food imports. [[Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals]] owns an entire hydroponics ring here, and also has research facilities interspersed throughout Xoikko dedicated to genetically-engineered flora and researching New Gibson’s native biosphere. The surface level is also home to the '''[[~~Human_Educational_Instituations~~#The_Jri’aq_Institute\|Jri’aq Institute @ Xoikko]]''', which provides vocational and distant learning opportunities for both local students and those abroad in [[Tau Ceti]], as well as skrell degrees for the local skrell populace.

	Xoikko has the largest population of [[skrell]] outside of the [[Nralakk Federation]], wholly integrated and living alongside New Gibson’s human populace, and has exerted notable, welcomed cultural influence over the rest of New Gibson. Very few IPCs reside within Xoikko as such, as it can be an openly hostile environment, with both skrell and human residents alike rejecting IPCs. A number of bogeyman tales in Xoikko tell of [[IPC#Shell_Frames\|shell]] infiltrators emerging from the snow and hoodwinking those vulnerable on the surface levels, particularly tourists from the Nralakk Federation, into exiting the dome into the snow, where they would surely freeze; more sensible stories based on this hold that the TCAF’s [[Tau_Ceti_Armed_Forces#The_Positronic_Century\|Positronic Century]] uses Xoikko as a training ground and test of a shell’s ability to blend in amid a hostile population.

	'''New Gibson''' is the second exoplanet to be colonized by humanity, shortly after the initial success of [[Biesel]]'s colonization attempt in 2167. While the economic and social powerhouse established itself on Biesel, New Gibson was set to become the industrial workhorse of the [[Tau Ceti]] system. New Gibson contained a rich and valuable resource pool together with the highest concentrations of many valuable minerals of any planetary surface in Tau Ceti, in the form of highly concentrated ores. This vast mineral wealth was highly sought after, especially for the continued development of Biesel's fledgling colony at the beginning of its life. While New Gibson has a complex dedicated to virtually all industries, its major players are shipbuilding and wide-ranging manufacturing adjacent to its titanic planetary mines. This is an old world, with efforts to commercialize every crevice ranging back hundreds of years. In the cavernous pitfalls and valleys of New Gibson resides both its thriving mining economy and its greatest dangers. Active tectonics of New Gibson are nonexistent, leading to a very cold, dark mantle. It is assumed with current technology that the core of New Gibson is long dormant, though no recorded effort to reach it has ever succeeded.

	Initially, the colonies established across New Gibson were subservient to their respective colonial powers, the majority of which was Nordic in origin or northwestern European. There was no unified government across New Gibson until after the Crisis of 2294, where the Parliamentary Republic of New Gibson was established, a representative democracy that relies on population statistics to award influence within its highest chamber of authority.

	Virklund is the second largest Ovanstad on New Gibson, and as such, enjoys the second largest amount of seats in Parliament. Considered the breadbasket of New Gibson, Virklund evolved from early attempts at aquaculture and hydroponics into becoming the foremost agrarian biodome on New Gibson. The Celebration of the Solstice is very popular in Virklund, and Undirstaders and Ovanstaders alike join together to celebrate in a somewhat seldom show of unity. In recent times, Virklund found some of its facilities repurposed into drydocks for ship production. The accompanying wave of Legion and ~~PCMG~~ infantry has discomforted some of the populace, but most Virklunders are proud to be supporting the Republic’s safety. This has had a secondary result of many new pilots coming from Virklund, eager to show their national pride and support for their Republic.

 Both the Phoron Scarcity and the King of the World Arc have brought several changes to the arcologies across New Gibson, mostly in the forms of compounding issues that many fear will turn into another Crisis of 2294. With most of the arcologies utilizing Phoron generators to power their districts, there have been several power fluctuations resulting in entire districts having to undergo brown-outs to ensure life-support is sustained throughout their archologies. There are calls from Gibsonites to address the developing issue, however, little has been done by the government - many voicing discontents as their calls fall on deaf ears. The Solarian Invasion of the Republic Biesel by the 33rd Fleet only added to the problems faced by New Gibson. Using the orbital bombardment of the arcologies as a diversion attempt, many of the levels close to the surface found themselves heavily damaged, and requiring extensive repairs. Much of the damage has not been repaired, due to the power constraints in the face of the Phoron Scarcity as arcologies face brown-outs in order to keep themselves alive, even just barely. The Crisis of 2294 lingers on the minds of Gibsonites, many fearing yet another may occur and plunge their planet into another era of darkness.
