	[[Republic of Biesel \| ~~smuggling~~ has been rising across Tau Ceti]] in recent times, and New Gibson is no different. However, New Gibson offers something new; its industrial manufacturing, coupled with its awful weather has made it the primary spot for smugglers looking to smuggle things out of Tau Ceti, rather than in. There are a few dedicated, in-the-know smuggling bands that have established side routes into New Gibson's atmosphere, with mobile shuttlepads receiving them for onloading. Once their cargo has been loaded on, they leave much the same way, most headed for [[Valkyrie]] where their cargo will once again change hands, or for the transit lanes near the Bluespace Gate. Natives of New Gibson are known for ties to many off-world smugglers over the years. In addition, cases of less accomplished or young Gibsonites joining these bands are rampant. The families which originally populated New Gibson's industry have solid connections with many illicit bands because of this, perhaps stretching far into the Coalition.

	Due to the hostile nature of New Gibson’s Environment, it is incredibly rare that shuttles and other spacecraft land on the surface from orbit. Instead, the most common form of travel to or from the void of space is on one of the planet's three massive orbital elevators, specially built by Hephaestus Industries in 2377 to move material, goods, and other industrial outputs to and from the surface. These elevators are proofed against the environment of New Gibson, varying in size, and can be found in; from biggest to smallest, Hengsha, Fallanland, and Virklund.

	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. Those within Parliament are elected by inhabitants of the respective biodomes, who in turn elect an individual among themselves to represent the entirety of New Gibson; the [[Presiding Speaker]].

	New Gibson, unlike other planets across the Orion Spur, does not possess a planetary defense force. It only utilizes law enforcement agencies to ensure there ~~maintains~~ a level of order within its biodomes, known as the [[ \| New Gibson Security Forces]]. The administration of the New Gibson Security Forces falls under the purview of [[Notable Humans\| the Presiding Speaker]], who has assigned each biodome, adequate members of the force, to ensure effective law enforcement.

	On New Gibson, there exists a clear-cut cultural schism between the Undirstads and the Ovanstads. While the colonial culture has grown steadily and evolved over time in the Undirstads, it has all but vanished in the population of the Ovanstads. The Ovanstads, characterized by their strong megacorporate influence and much more marketable locations, house nearly all of New Gibson’s foreign industry. Many affluent families from Biesel vacation in the Ovanstads, and there exists a thriving financial and entertainment industrie. Many families from the Undirstads fiercely hold onto their cultural traditions, seeing the surface-dwelling societies as having lost something important to their identities in the abundance of wealth and foreign influence - especially from Biesel.

	With the expansion of New Gibson beneath the surface, there exist generational lineages that refer to themselves as '''Undergrounders''' - having originated shortly after colonial expansions began within the crust of the New Gibson permafrost. These lineages are typically long lines of miners, who continue to expand the subterranean archologies - having done so for centuries at this point. It is not uncommon for Undergrounders to have never seen stars before, with those leaving New Gibson for other opportunities remarking on their surprise that space isn’t just pitch-black. There also exist several settlements created by Undergrounders, referred to as “Undirstads."

	Designed in a manner in which they expand from a singular point, Undirstads typically make use of either a Fusion Power Rely or relays, depending on the energy needs of the underground settlement. Some of the eldest Undirstads find themselves relying on modified ship engines from the initial colonisation of the arctic planet. Considered vital to New Gibson, these relays are utilized to power and fuel the titanic industrial might that the Undirstads wield, which are responsible for most if not all industrial production on the planet. Industrial sectors within the Undirstads produce anything from the simplest battery to the advanced components required for artificial intelligence.

	Atop its icy peaks, New Gibson hosts fully-developed archologies referred to as '''Ovanstads'''. These archologies are capable of sustaining millions - many able to house skyscrapers. These tremendous arcologies know little respite from the blizzards which wreak havoc across the arctic plains of New Gibson. Suitably, Ovanstads are considered to have been constructed to stand the test of time - with many having been adapted from the original frames placed after the colonization rush of the 2100s. Cavernous, spacious and dark, these frames were designed to accommodate expansion for many years to come with the external protective barriers specifically enhanced to protect its contents.

	Ovanstads have seen an increased Legion and [[Private Military Contracting Group]] presence as the Peacekeeper Mandate continues. New Gibson’s Ovanstads serve as an important wayfare between themselves and Undirstads, where military ordinance finds its way to the surface and is subsequently carted off to the [[Corporate Reconstruction Zone]] to further Biesellite interests. Additionally, the mass influx of ships has bolstered New Gibson’s smuggling trade, with crafty blockade runners and illegal freighters using the increased shipping to their advantage. For those caught in the quagmire of danger and lawlessness that is the CRZ, many refugees are smuggled into Tau Ceti by these highways.

	Much like Skrell colonies outside of Nralakk in the Federation, the Skrell on New Gibson have their own unique constellations that they have catalogued and give reverence to. Although these constellations are considered minor by the Qeblak faith, they still hold importance to the Skrell of New Gibson and have influenced the Skrell living there to focus more on personal freedom, advancement, and community cohesion.

	The cold environment has many pleasant realizations for IPC immigrants to New Gibson. Most commercial bots enjoy the more peaceful end of weather in their bare frame, provided they avoid storms or upsets. Although harsher weather, typically in the winter months, still require heavy protection, they are far more dexterous and agile than their organic counterparts in the crippling cold.
