	'''Qamar Azraq:''' Literally meaning “Blue Moon,” in old Arabic, Qamar Azraq, usually shortened to Azraq, was the first permanent settlement on New Suez and is currently its largest. It is where the majority of the financial services industry is located and is where all major megacorporations host their headquarters on the moon. Completed in 2462 after eight years of construction, the Suezbank Lazuline Tower which serves as the headquarters of Suezbank is not only the tallest building on New Suez, coming in at 201 floors, but the tallest in the entire Republic of Elyra. Facades of deep blue crystal glass adorn the building along with interlockings of white hard-light. The Sapphire Retail Complex, the largest shopping mall in Elyran space, is located in this city as well, along with the New Suez Stock Exchange. The city serves as one of the primary ports for passengers and cargo both to and from Persepolis. The largest “Little [[New Hai Phong]]” is located here as well, indicative of the New Hai Phongese Community being the largest migrant community in this city, though nearly every ethnicity from across human Space can be found here with the exception of Dominian cultures. Many who work in the city are involved with a foreign megacorporation or Suezbank in some way and many work in facilities reflective of their employer’s specialisations.

	'''New Hormuz:''' New Hormuz is the second largest city on New Suez and is unique in that it is a “synthetic city” due to its very methodically planned nature. It was not an original settlement on New Suez but instead was created as a result of the great amounts of economic investment that the moon saw from the Elyran Government in the early 2320’s to create a city strictly devoted to being a massive cargo port, unrivalled in its efficiency. Taking nearly half a century to finish, the port of New Hormuz is the largest in Elyran space and sees more cargo traffic than nearly anywhere else in the Orion Spur aside from perhaps the gargantuan ports of Callisto, [[Biesel]], and [[Xanu Prime]]. Many of those who work in New Hormuz are involved in the shipping industry. Because of this, the largest migrant community in New Hormuz is ~~Xanusii~~, and many have had prior experience in working on the ports of that planet. Jewel Aerospace operates many shipyards in this city and has a large office located in New Hormuz.

	'''Rasht:''' The smallest of New Suez’s major cities, Rasht is situated close to New Hormuz and functions mostly as a massive housing project meant to house incoming migrants. As a result, it has the largest foreign population by percentage of any New Suezian city, with a large majority of the city’s population being from outside the Republic of Elyra. Most come from the [[Republic of Biesel]] and [[Coalition of Colonies]], with the largest demographic in the city being New Gibsoners. The city is known for its rich fusion culture and nightlife and is where many Elyrans travel to in order to “travel without travelling.” It is where the tradition of “Patchwork Week,” originally called only “Patchwork Day,” began on the moon. It is also the place where many consider to be the hub of the Elyran black market and where most illegal items go to after being unloaded from the ports of New Hormuz or are stored before being shipped out of the country through the same ports.

	==History==		==History==
	New Suez, named ~~New Ankara~~ IV originally, was colonized at roughly the same time as the planet which it orbited, starting only a few years after the official colonization of [[Persepolis]] began. The moon was settled originally by colonists wishing to turn the moon into what would be a port for the planet and an area where goods, both imported and exported, could be stored and shipped from without taking up the space and planetary resources of the newly-minted colony below. Terraforming followed, taking many years to turn what was essentially a rock into a place that was habitable, though perhaps not all that comfortable, for humans. This was the purpose that the moon served and many viewed simply as an extension of Persepolis itself, taking on the nickname of “Persepolis 11⁄2” after its establishment. During its early days, the moon was dominated by vast warehouses, shipyards, and a growing hospitality industry that existed around providing services to those aboard the large interstellar freighters that would stop there before legally entering or exiting the ~~New Ankara~~ system. Life for the most part on New Suez was calm, though not very exciting, before the Elyran Revolution of 2302. The moon’s name was changed to its current, New Suez, after the revolution in an attempt by the Elyran government to make each planet or moon in its space build new, Elyran identities for themselves, rather than remaining as nondescript astrological names.

The moon’s name was changed to its current, New Suez, after the revolution in an attempt by the Elyran government to make each planet or moon in its space build new, Elyran identities for themselves, rather than remaining as nondescript astrological names.

	The effects of the revolution brought sweeping changes to the moon. This is all despite the fact that it didn’t see any fighting or formal involvement in the revolution at, all aside from the Solarian garrison on the moon withdrawing without a fight. What changed for the small moon was that it no longer was just the primary port of entry for a large planet in a Solarian colony, but the primary port of entry for what would soon become the most populated planet in a new, fledgling country. This reality caused the Elyran government to enact many reforms around New Suez in the years following Elyran independence. Many of these were new investment initiatives into the businesses and facilities of New Suez to further broaden the moon’s efficiency as a port, but also to ensure that its capacity was able to keep up with the rapidly growing economy and population of Persepolis. Most of what was handled in this time were food shipments coming in from [[Damascus II]] to feed Persepolis, but as time progressed, and as Persepolis further developed, the moon also began to handle all the exports from Persepolis’ growing industrial and manufacturing sectors, ensuring that they would all reach wherever else in the Elyran Republic they were so destined for. This time to many, though none are alive to remember it, was the best time to be living on New Suez, not because it was when it was the richest, but because it was when the place was dubbed by the newly-formed Elyran Development Bank as “the gateway to Elyra,” a moniker the moon still keeps today— though really and only for tourist purposes. It wasn’t uncommon to see double-digit growth numbers for the moon’s economy in the 2310’s and 20’s as the moon’s ports tied the new republic together, but eventually, New Suez’s economy indeed slowed down. It did not recess after its boom of growth because the ships still came in, and the traffic was constant.		The effects of the revolution brought sweeping changes to the moon.

	The culture of New Suez is truly a fusion of foreign cultures throughout the spur and the Elyran domestic culture. This is most seen in the numerous settlements of entire quarters of New Suezian cities being populated almost entirely by migrant workers brought by the foreign megacorporations from around the Orion Spur. It’s not uncommon to see parts many cities on the moon called, “Little New Hai Phong,” “Xanutown,” or “Bieselland,” names which reflect the demographic origins of those that live there. Small xenos populations of migrant NCPs can also be found here, primarily ~~and~~ Unathi. These all exist in contrast to the more “Elyran” areas of the moon which have distinctively Elyran architecture, and are inhabited primarily by citizens, though there are numerous places on the moon, especially within its big cities, where Elyrans and foreigners intermingling is the norm.

	Elyran culture on New Suez is similar to culture elsewhere in the Republic, most noticeably Persepolis due to its close proximity; however, there are some noticeable differences. New Suezian Elyrans are more likely to have a more lax attitude to Elryan isolationism since they interact so much with the outside Spur and, similarly, are likely to embrace more aspects of foreign culture themselves. New Suezian Elyrans are also almost entirely trilingual from a young age, usually knowing Elyran Standard plus two more or even a third extra language, either from schooling or just from exposure to so many foreign migrant employees on their moon. Many have also adopted things like certain elements of fashion from their foriegn counterparts, combining Elyran articles and holo-clothing with elements of dress from around human space. Most noticeable in New Suezian citizens though is an attitude of political apathy. Many do not care about politics because the status of the moon on which they live gives them such little recourse to actually change anything about how their homeworld is governed, leading many to find talking about politics, no matter the opinion or stance, to be rude or distasteful.

	An unofficial holiday of the non-citizen community on New Suez is something known as “Patchwork Week,” a week in which many across the migrant community, regardless of origin, come together and celebrate their origins through a variety of local festivals and traditions imported from their homeworlds all occurring at once, usually starting on the first Saturday of June. Notable attractions to visit during this day are the various New Hai Phongese street markets in many cities, Callistean film festivals showing both classic and new films from the Jovian moon, and Biesellite-styled night clubs that often offer special deals for admittance or host headlining musical acts. While still unofficial to the Elyran government, many Elyran citizens actively participate in this holiday as well and involve themselves in the festivities. Already duty-free shops on New Suez also usually host their largest sales of the year called “Warehouse Sales,” for their tendency to empty entire warehouses, where they sell their products at greatly reduced prices for the entire week. Many flock to them to buy things for the festivities, or as retail tourists from Persepolis or elsewhere in Elyra simply looking to buy New Suezian goods at even cheaper prices than their untaxed usual.
