The City of Last Ditch

Last Ditch is a Neutral aligned city that lays in the north west area of Stret West Bank.

History[edit]

Much of the true history of Last Ditch has been lost to time. Information from the Advisors of Rubi-Ka suggest that Last Ditch was constructed as a Neutral town by soldiers attempting to escape the Battle of Stret in the Second Rubi-Ka Civil War.

From an architectual stand point, Last Ditch has some characteristics that are uncommon to Neutral built cities. It has the pale cob style construction that is also seen in cities such as Bliss, Sabulum, and Drumdar, but does not have any of the hand sculpted look of Drumdar. Since it is suspected that both Bliss and Sabulum are Clan built, it might also stand true for Last Ditch. This would change the story and suggest that the people fleeing the Battle of Stret happened upon a decimated Clan city and made it their own.

As with the other Neutral cities, in 29476 the ICC placed emergency Peacekeeping forces into Last Ditch to help protect its citizens from undue military attention.

Present Day[edit]

The Wall

Last Ditch is a quiet Neutral city now that has few visitors other then the patrons of Reet's Retreat.

There is a question about the safety of Last Ditch in the Neutral community given that it is still guarded by ICC Peacekeepers and its proximity to Borealis. The premise for this worry is that in the case of Borealis the ICC forces withdrew to allow the Omni-Tek forces to occupy the city, and it would only be a small jump over to Last Ditch to secure that city as well. While the worries are well founded, given the circumstances, it is hard to say why Omni-Tek would take Last Ditch considering that it controls no major resources, nor does it have any major industries.
