A great construct of the Golden Age, the arcologies of Titan were hubs dedicated to the scientific study of the moon and the unique lifeforms that lay in its methane seas.

After Drs. Khatun-Rowe and [[Shanice Pell]] made several breakthroughs in power generation technology, they were ordered to develop their research further. While the government had claimed this was purely for the sake of improving the Arcology's pressure suits for exploration, Khatun-Rowe and [[David Miguel Korosec]] understood the order was an attempt to exploit their labor for weapons development. [[Centrifuse|This appears to have been at least partially successful]]. | ||
During the Collapse, the Darkness attacked Titan by creating a moon-wide tidal wave and seismic event which badly damaged the arcologies, the New Pacific Arcology included.<ref name="Last Days on Kraken Mare"/> An evacuation was in progress when the Collapse began and it is currently unknown how many, if any, made it out alive. It is later revealed that at least some of these evacuees were incinerated by [[Warsat]]s for unknown reasons, implying that [[Rasputin]]'s accounts of the Arcology's fall were not completely genuine. | |||
