talk to the guard about the city

: You're standing in New Minsk, the heart of the Soviet colony on this planet, and home to one of the only financial districts in the empire.

: Is that why the city is so big? All the commercial developments?

: Well, yes and no. Cities tend to be large when you put all your eggs in one basket, especially when those eggs include military installations, education and research facilities, and dimensional ports.

: Dimensional whats?

: Ports, Marc. You don't seriously believe that all the different sentients on this planet just evolved here, do you?

: That always made sense to me...
talk to guard about famous scientists from the city

: The most well known would be Nikola Tesla, but the most successful would probably be Jaques Depaul. He's the one who developed the repulsor technology that keeps those hospitals in the air.
