Refuse and Waste Fuel Facility (RAW Fuels known as The Great Crapworks locally)

Nike Torrensen [aggravating, knowledgeable, self-serving]

RAW Fuels is actually owned and operated by the trust; Food and Chemical Concern (FCC). Nike is the General Manager on their behalf. While always out for his own self enlargement he is very aware that the Food and Chemical Concern (FCC) board could have him removed at a moment's notice so takes great pains to cover his arse.

The great Crapworks is a combined operation consisting of four main areas. The central element is The Energy Centre which transforms compostable waste into a range of fuel sources. The most well-known and the one that adds that evocative aroma to the lower cityscape are Burners. Other liquid and gas fuels are also manufactured form the waste that is imported to The Heap (see below) via The Turd Port. There are tanks in the Heap that hold liquid refuse but the area known as The Tanks holds ready to export liquid and gas fuels.

The Heap

 A huge wasteland of excrement. The Heap is actually the equivalent of a municipal tip but one where the majority is compostable organics and recyclable materials. It is a huge compost heap ready to explode. A series of mills along the Surging Run pump water into a cris-cross of aqueduct’s that constantly sprinkle the Heap attempting to reduce explosions and to keep the smell and insect life under control. There are some extremely big insects and swarm’s travelling the Heap not to mention the human scavengers that roam sometimes singularly but mainly in packs collecting the useful trash and selling it to the breakers yard that is Big Bales Recyclables and Reconditioned Paraphernalia.

The Turd Port

 This is the main offloading harbour area used by The Great Crap Works to bring in waste from across the City. It feeds directly into either The Heap or for some of the better sorted or more up-market refuse directly into the great underground Waste Lakes where they are condensed into thick cakes and the liquid/gas elements syphoned off.

The Tanks

 Fuel is made into various size cakes called Burners which are packaged here but it is mainly the huge gas and liquid fuel containers that the area is known for.  Containers ships and Gaspalines both dock and draw off loads to export. 

The Watermen and Lightermen Consolidated Fluvial Workers Union Building (The Wetmen)

Jim Tupence [determined, extrovert, shrewd]

President of the Union.

Although called a union it is closer to being a guild holding a monopoly over the waterways around Harbour Port and pretty much throughout the districts.

The Watermen traffic people, either too and from the bankside or on and off boats moored in the canal. The Lightermen do the same for cargo. Between them they run most of the water-born businesses in the Burgh. They actively encourage all such to become members for their own protection. There are independents but they tend to be secretive and affiliated to a gang or one of the big Trusts such as Big Rat or an outside Trust to avoid Wetmen prosecution.
