Little area that I came up with for my character to live in - it's a pretty open area for people to use.
JUMP STREET
SYSTEM: SOL (Neptune Trojans)
CLASS: Asteroid Cluster (None over 10km)
POPULATION: 165
A cluster of mixed asteroids, Jump Street is defined as a group of 40 asteroids and ice-balls in a 0.5x0.3x0.25AU volume on the trailing-in-above (towards the back, more in-system than the proper orbit, and above the persitent plane of the orbit) end of the Neptunian Trojans. None of the objects are above 10km on the longest dimension.
Jump Street was settled in Feburary 2012 by a group of 54 generalist fen who wanted away from it all. They promptly had to start low-volume trade with the inner system for the equipment they needed, which lead a Boskonian group to take over Jump Street as a backup base. Most of the personal moved to Jump Street were, as one of them put it "low-level wimps with some sort of ethics" - the sort of people who are good at setting up support systems, but not ruthless enough to keep on the front lines of the criminal underworld.
In the interest of making the base at Jump Street self-sufficient, the boss had several people kidnapped from Earth - primarily Amish farmers, believing that they would be unable to break their anti-tehnology restrictions to call for help or leave.
In June 2013, a crew of Boskonians hired as mercenaries for the war discovered all of what was going on - considering that they were part of a Mexican gang that prided themselves on keeping their turf clean of slavers, they were understandably pissed. So they objected to their terms of service, violently. A short raid later, they had a ship, some information, and a few people willing to follow them whereever. They went to Jump Street.
Now, Jump Street is free of Boskonian influence, except for the entire "we're probably wanted criminals, lets lay fairly low" culture of secrecy. Most of the Amish moved back to Earth quietly, except for one who somehow ended up convincing his family and several relatives to move to Jump Street (even he's not sure how that happened).
Notable Areas
22 Jump Street: Community Center, Community Cargo Hold, Docks.
18 Jump Street: Main home for the Amish
27 Jump Street: Main home for the ex-boskonians.
SV Ethereal Kathleen- One of the two ships that Jump Street uses to trade their goods. They get sent on 6 month stints that go no further in-system than the main belt (there are ex-boskonians on the crews - why risk it, is their opinion)
Notable Residents:
David Burke - Best friend of the founder of Jump Street, Jake Owens, who was killed by the Boskonians. Caretaker of the Community Center on 22 Jump Street
Elder Russel Austin - Patriach of the Austin clan of Amish families living in Jump Street. His current project is expanding the community farms more, and keeping Purity away from the un'waved fields.
Purity Austin - 8 year old daughter of Russel Austin, she is a biomodded Mad Botanist. Biomod allows her to survive 30 minutes in vacuum. Her current project is covering a ice/organics mixed asteroid next-door to Jump Street in rose bushes and other plants.
