Rocket Town is a small city in Guardia, west of Truce. It sits on the southern edge of the Rabite Forest, with fields to the south and east.
A large portion of the population of Rocket Town is directly involved with the maintenance or construction of the eponymous rocket, which explains the large proportion of engineers.
History
Rocket Town was founded in the year 280 to provide infrastructure for a blossoming space program.
Sights
Rocket Town is not a big tourist attraction, but has some interesting things anyway.
The Rocket
Rocket Town's namesake is a large rocket in the middle of the town. It makes flights almost daily to Final Weapon, ferrying passengers with trade goods as payload.
Most of Guardia's space program funding seems to come from private investors.
Shopping
A few stores in Rocket Town stock equipment and supples for low-level (10-15) adventurers.
Travel
Rocket Town consists mainly of hard-packed, unpaved streets. Most people travel on foot, but there is at least one truck in town, that keeps running into Palmer (or vice-versa?).
Booster Tower is nearby, along the eastern road between Rocket Town and Truce. Cid Highwind is willing to transport people to Final Weapon in his rocket and a certain man roaming the streets has offered transit to the Pioneer II.
Law, Government, and Politics
Rocket Town is part of the kingdom of Guardia. The ShinRa Electric Power Company keeps a strong presence in the town, also, and their privately-employed security guards probably help protect the general populace as well.
Quests
Rocket Town is a small place, but a rambling old man loves to ask every new adventurer he meets:
- Have you beaten Palmer?
The Great Explorer Luigi Says
"Luigi has watched miscreants start-a trouble with the town's Engineers. He had to break up-a few fights because the engineers can't-a really defend themselves."
