Mem

Warring factions

Mem, former New Memphis, is the largest city of Ra's planet. But it is politically divided in the territories of a lot of groups. Most of them are fighting other groups. They are based on alignment, race, religion, leader and everything else that can divide or unite people. All these factors make travelling through Mem a puzzle and risk.
