Celepina city and the nearby towns have not spread far from the port. As all buildings have to be sealed and most materials have to be imported, there is little point in travelling far.
Celepina City is where most of Celepina system's population live. The city has expanded into the unused areas of the pressurised dome which was designed to have plenty of room to grow into. Most of the growth is commercial (bars, restaurants, clubs) to cater for visiting Navy and Scout staff. The city never closes, but trouble is rare; troublemakers are banned and there's not much else to do in system. The Navy provides the local police force and extra muscle in the event of trouble.
Las Serras is a series of agricultural modules, mainly growing crops to make into alcoholic drinks. There is a small commercial centre which caters for the workers. The brewery and distillery have a reputation for strong but rather expensive products, but they are still cheaper than imported drinks.
Makinsk is the latest development, an exclusive residential suburb. You can only enter if you have a resident's permit or a resident gives permission.
Chiaravalle is the Navy's main installation in system. Navy ships land at the main spaceport.
Public transport is provided between the port, Las Serras and Celepina City. Pressurised buses bring workers to the port (they commute to the orbital port) and carry visitors from the port to the city. The Navy operates the bus service to Chiaravalle. Persons intending to visit Makinsk must ask a resident to authorise a vehicle to collect them.
Outdoor persuits are not well developed. There are boat trips along the coast and pleasure flights from the groundport to see the Kataramenos Waterfalls. A few have done some hillwalking along the coast from Celepina City to Las Serras and then on to the Groundport, but the need for protective suits puts off most tourists.
Native Life: there are neither surface plants nor land animals but there are marine plants and primative sea life. The biggest native creature is the Ferngill Worm, a 2 metre invertebrate marine grazer. A few have been caught by Navy staff. In common with all native life, the meat is tasteless and causes stomach upsets.
