Ruby Citadel

Ruby Citadel is a district of Capital City. It is a military base and the headquarters for the Branch of Vigor. The district features a large rounded command center and adequate housing for active personnel. The areas around the central structures are covered in parks which hide the subsurface network of hangers and transportation systems. A large surface lot is filled with Vigor trucks while subsurface depots hide platoons of drones. There are also hundreds of ships stored here.

The main part of the complex with its donut-shaped main building is located on a hill in the southern part of Capital City. While not necessarily a tall building itself, its location causes it to tower over the city just like other skyscrapers nevertheless.

It has underground levels connecting to public and private transport and hangar bays, circular hallways going around the entire building, and a rooftop with some visitor areas and the Ruby Rooftop Bar. The rooftop also occasionally hosts the Ruby Rooftop Concert. Alternatively, events, including concerts, are held in one of the several celebration halls of varying sizes inside the building.

The Ruby Citadel also houses the Vigor Museum of Defense and Security.

	The budget for Vigor’s Ruby Citadel has been increased thanks to a new investment boost. It’s reported that the money will be allocated for improvements in personnel housing and accommodations.

	A recent investment into Vigor’s Ruby Citadel has taken a turn in the red. Questions have swirled around as to what could have happened. Where did the money go? Is the rest being allotted for new renovations? Or perhaps the funds are being budgeted for Vigor employee bonuses? The answer is quite shocking, actually. Someone familiar with the situation, among others who have been consulted, stated that the Vice Warden spent the remaining investment funds on plushies! This was confirmed when a handful of citizens reported an excessive amount of assorted plushies scattered about one of the citadel’s court yards! Whether this was on purpose or an accident is yet to be determined.
	A new Rapid Response system is being worked on at Ruby Citadel to allow Vigor to better respond to incidents across Capital City. The idea is that this system will move officers swiftly and efficiently to various districts across the city in the event of a crisis or even simple civilian distress calls. Vigor officers have expressed their gratitude that something like this is being implemented. The system will include a subterranean transit system that will link with several other transit systems as well as adding additional stations specifically for the Rapid Response system. One person dubbed it the “Ruby Rapid Response”. We look forward to seeing it in action!
	The Ruby Rapid Response system has seen its completion!
