 ====== FEDERAL HEALTH AGENCY BUILDING ======
 ===== Overview =====
+  * **Location:** Civic Ring, [[new_kourou|New Kourou]]
+  * **Address:** SW Civic Ring Road 2
+  * **Surroundings:** Among the core government institutions of the [[federal_confederation|Federal Confederation]] in the Civic Ring.
-  * **Location:** Civic Ring, [[new_kourou|New Kourou]]
+The Federal Health Agency Building (FHA Building) is the administrative headquarters of the [[federal_health_agency|Federal Health Agency]] (FHA). From here, the FHA governs the [[federal_health_care_system|Federal Health Care System (FHCS)]], including policy, staffing, immunization programs, inter-reservation transfers, and coordination with the [[medical_station|Medical Station and Federal Hospital of New Kourou]], the [[federal_pharma_manufactory|Federal Pharma Manufactory (FPM)]], and the [[danah_wanah_university_of_new_kourou|Faculty of Medicine at Danah Wanah University]].
-  * **Address:** NE Talara Road 2
-  * **Surroundings:** Situated in New Kourou’s Civic Ring, a central area housing critical governmental functions within the [[federal_confederation|Federal Confederation]].
-The Federal Health Agency Building serves as the headquarters for the [[federal_health_agency|Federal Health Agency]] (FHEA), which oversees the healthcare needs of all [[the_humans|ExoHuman]] reservations on [[the_planet_voi_700_d|VOI 700 D]]. Established to support the well-being of the population in the Gamma Age, the agency ensures equitable healthcare access, manages medical personnel assignments, and coordinates closely with the [[gaia_system|GAIA system]] to monitor and enhance public health.
+===== History =====
+Built in 2632 alongside the founding of the FHA under [[supreme_councilor|Supreme Councilor]] [[georgia_hawking|Aisha Patel]] and the [[communards|Communards]], the building reflects the post-[[great_war|Great War]] centralization of public health. Using repurposed hull plating from the [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]], it became the operational nerve center for the Gamma Age’s energy-efficient, highly coordinated health system — overseeing the roll-out of [[federal_general_practitioner_of_firetown|Federal General Practitioner Practices]] in [[federal_general_practitioner_of_firetown|Firetown]], [[federal_general_practitioner_of_hope|Hope]], and [[federal_general_practitioner_of_morningstar|Morningstar]], and the regulated supply chain from the FPM to all FHCS institutions.
 ===== Architectural Significance =====
+  * **Construction Materials:** Salvaged spaceship panels from the [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]], reinforced alloy frames, and modular partitions.
+  * **Floors:** 3
+  * **Design Purpose:** Functional, low-energy administration hub; emphasis on data security, meeting space, and inter-agency coordination.
+The exterior is plain and resilient — matte alloy, narrow windows, and storm-shutters that double as heat baffles. Inside, clean corridors, labeled wayfinding, and analog status boards underline the Confederation’s pragmatic style.
-  * **Construction Material:** Primarily repurposed materials from the [[last_frontier|Last Frontier spaceship]], typical of many government structures in New Kourou.
+===== Building Structure =====
-  * **Floors:** 3
-  * **Design Purpose:** Practical and adaptive, the building mirrors the provisional aesthetic of New Kourou, blending functional design with minimalistic, resourceful construction.
-As with other Civic Ring buildings, the FHEA Building retains a utilitarian design, constructed from salvaged spaceship components and simple materials that convey a sense of adaptability. The structure’s straightforward appearance reflects the agency’s focus on essential health services rather than architectural sophistication, yet it stands as a key institution within the Confederation’s governance.

-**Second Floor:**
+Muted alloy walls, neatly stenciled signage, and the soft clack of analog boards set a calm, procedural tone. The air carries disinfectant and paper—administration, not care delivery.

+  * Forge inter-agency directives to reroute medicine shipments
+  * Break into the archive to destroy, steal, or replace health documentation
+===== Tactical Advice for Dungeon Masters =====
+The Federal Health Agency Building is less about medicine and more about politics, data, and control. PCs are often sent here by the [[federal_sheriff|Federal Sheriff]] to intervene when bureaucracy masks danger:
+  * **The Stolen Records:** Shellac Records containing sensitive health data vanish from the archive. The Sheriff sends the PCs to recover them before they reach the black market.
+  * **The Outbreak Cover-Up:** GAIA predicts a dangerous epidemic, but Agency officials suppress the alert. The Sheriff orders the PCs to stop the outbreak before it happens, forcing them to choose between enforcing silence or exposing the truth.
