Commissioned in 2627 and financed, built, and operated by the Trade Guild of New Kourou under a contract guaranteeing the Free State of Settlers' purchase of its output, the Geothermal Power Plant was the ExoHumans’ most powerful energy installation on VOI 700 D. Its pair of 10 MW turbines harnessed volcanic steam for continuous baseload electricity and district heating loops, making it the largest-capacity power source of the Beta Age and the primary feed for Firetown’s Tier-1 Energy Redistribution Node.

• Construction: Broke ground early 2626 as Firetown’s signature Beta-Age energy project
• Operational Peak: 2626–2631, feeding both district heat and full-flux ERN charging
• Nationalization & Transition: Following the Peace Treaty, the plant was nationalized in 2631 and operations were transferred to the Federal Allotment Agency — its capacity then folded into the new Federal Geothermal Power Plant in 2632

• Materials: Volcanic‐stone blockwork, reinforced tritanium steam piping
• Design: Low, bunker‐style profile to anchor heavy wells and turbines against quakes
• Wells & Loops: Dual‐well extraction system with surge‐buffer tanks and pre-insulated heating ducts

Heat Extraction Wing

• Houses wellheads, pressure regulators, and primary steam collectors
• Oversized surge tanks buffer pressure spikes

Turbine Hall

• Three tandem turbines rated at 7 MW each
• Emergency bypass lines allow manual dump of excess steam
• Control & Monitoring Center
• “Situation Room” with cross-linked SCADA consoles
• Analog backup panels and manual overrides for treaty-mandated fail-safe

Maintenance Bay

• Heavy-duty repair pits beneath turbine shafts
• Parts storage for seals, gaskets, and precision drill bits
• Staff Quarters & Facilities
• Break rooms with thermal bunks warmed by waste steam
• Locker rooms and combined men’s/women’s AuroraSan restrooms

A deep, throaty rumble resonates as steam hisses through insulated flues. Corridors glow with sodium‐vine lamps that reflect off wet stone floors slick with condensate. The sulfurous tang of volcanic steam hangs heavy, while the clatter of Maintenance Bots’ tool-arms and pop-hiss of pressure‐release valves underscore the ceaseless machine rhythms. Outside, the dark stone façade is streaked with mineral runoff; guard-troopers’ boots crunch on gravel under the watchful beam of a lone Guarding Bot at the gate.

• Plant Manager (1): Coordinates operations and liaises with Firetown’s Contact Person
• Geothermal Engineer (1): Monitors well integrity and steam flow
• Turbine Operator (2): Oversees turbine load and ERN feed coupling
• Maintenance Bots (6): Conduct routine mechanical checks and leak repairs

• Perimeter Wall: 3 m volcanic-stone barrier with spike-topped parapet
• Controlled Entry: Main Gate secured by a Guarding Bot, armed with Guarding Troopers Stun Gun and accompanied by Combat Drone.
• Regular Patrols: A local unit of the Guarding Troopers, assigned to Firetown's energy sector; rotate every 6 hours

• Apply for a job at the Plant Manager
• Escort turbine spare parts from Firetown Courier Service
• Audit steam pressure logs on behalf of Firetown’s Contact Person
• Maintain the Service Bots as employee of the New Kourou Robotic Syndicate

• Sabotage a steam line to force a settlement-wide blackout
• Co-opt a Maintenance Bot to smuggle spoofed power readings

• The Vanishing Steam – Firetown’s Contact Person confides that a shadowy investor behind the Entertainment District may be using the Geothermal Power Plant’s service tunnels and high-pressure steam chambers to make “troublesome” competitors disappear without a trace. The PCs are hired to infiltrate the plant’s restricted maintenance corridors, follow the trail of steam-scoured footprints, and uncover whether the plant’s vast underbelly is serving as a secret execution chamber — or if something even more sinister lurks beneath Ralar’s fumes.
