Locations of Gamma Terra posted in Gamma World forum comment posted by derek_holland One of the planet's largest interplantary communication nodes is currently at the bottom of the ocean. The nudibranchs (sea slugs) that dominate it consider the screens oracles.

The Crystal City is on the shore of one of the Great Lakes. It is populated by massive singing rats that use their music to crystallize minerals out of the water onto their tails and then reshape it with other songs. It is a vacation spot for many as the rats love tourists- their wealth and protection they provide. The rats themselves do not eat people, they are herbivores that trade crystals for farm produce.

There is a Fountain of Youth but no one knows it exists, not even its inhabitants. It is a village of very elderly tortoises that have become philosophers and leaders of the local sleeth college. What they don't understand is their blood keeps them young and can do so for others. If anyone, even the sleeth, were to find out it would not end well for any of the reptiles.

The Commune is a place of peace and serenity. Yeah, right. Raiders are terrified of it as any of their number who go in join the group, none have escaped its clutches. The secret masters are a subspecies of hisser with venom that both causes sleep and brainwashes. They do eat the occasional inhabitant but prefer the livestock raised to support themselves and their minions.

The Marine Library is a fascinating place. The entire collection are large fish scales that contain images. The fish can control when and how many take an image, much like an old Polaroid. They hire people to haul them all over the place, on land they go as far as 500 km inland. Visiting the library costs a few domars but is well worth it for those who wish to study the past (back 150 years) and the now.

The Land of a Million Ponds is dominated by a daikaiju that leaves a small amount of flesh in its footprints. This tissue survives for decades and during that time it condenses water out of the air, forming tiny springs or ponds.

One alien ship that recently crashed is populated by aliens that use something like steampunk tech and present themselves as Roman gods (they watched a documentary on their way to Earth that is a bit out of date). Now the aliens are hiding in a forest and hoping for rescue. The locals find them humorous and the Created find their technology laughably inferior.
