| abstract | - Daroskelar was the capital city of Daros IV, and an Orion Colony. The city was situated on the coast of a mountainous peninsula stretching north from the planet's main continent, lying on a slightly sloping plain between the base of the mountains and the sea. It was composed of a few hundred small buildings that sat close together by the coast, while the higher ground was given over to the estates of the Five Families, including Keravkar and Keroskar, which had extensively irrigated fields fed by their own water storage tanks. It was a small city, with a population of approximately 100,000 people, who got around primarily by groundcars. It was powered by several fusion power plants, and was brightly illuminated at night. The city favored adobe buildings and white-washed walls. Daroskelar Starport and the Bazaar, including the High Market and the Shadow Market, were 40 kilometers west of the city, on the opposite coast of the peninsula; travel between the two was by aircar. (FASA RPG module: Orion Ruse) Though the text says a peninsula "jutting north" from the main continent, the map shows no obvious candidates. A south-facing peninsula or one on the secondary continent may be more accurate.
