Moot Spire (Technology) Synopsis
The Moot Spire is a megascraper, a sort of megastructure and a high-technology version of the venerable skyscraper.
The Moot Spire is also one of the best known government buildings in charted space as well as on the planet Capital, the capital of the Third Imperium, and it hosts meetings of the assembly of Third Imperium Nobles known as the Imperial Moot.
Despite being a megastructure the Moot Spire is not an arcology. Arcologies differ in that they often intended to house self-sufficient communities containing residential, industrial, agricultural, and commercial structures all in one megastructure, providing all conceptually desirable services to its inhabitants to include public transport, sanitation, medical, vocational, ediucational, and all other conceptual needs. The Moot Spire serves one purpose, to house the Imperial Moot. It does not serve the other functions that an arcology serves.
Moot Spire (Technology) Description
The Moot Spire is marvel of architecture and technology.
