Minami City is named after The Minami, an Ironhome ship that made the exodus to The Forge. The Minami made planetfall and the city was built around it; it still stands in the center of the settlement dwarfing the other buildings. The innards of the ship were repurposed to build the earliest parts of the city and the ship still powers the settlement to this day.

There are mountains to the north of the city and ocean to the south. There is farmland to the east and west.

The city is ruled, at least on paper, by a clone of the original captain of The Minami due to biometric security measures - only the captain has the authority to pass the credentials on to their successor and the original captain died unexpectedly without telling anyone the passcode. A new clone is created every 10 years so there is always someone to operate the ship, even if something happens to the current ruling clone. In practice, a council of the city's most influential factions makes all the decisions and the clone just enacts them.

The city is guarded by The Enforcers who deal out swift and brutal justice to any troublemakers. As a result, the city is one of the safest places to live in terms of crime in several sectors, but it comes at the cost of a lot of personal freedoms.
