Road's End
A sizeable portion of Freedom Falls's population live in the surrounding homesteads, making it natural that a few of them would go together in spite of the 'no neighbors' appeal of this sparsely populated world. In 2145, three homesteads – all asari-owned – got together and formed a company to better act on the emerging local food market by sharing parts of the production between them. It didn't take much negotiation before the terms were approved by all three, neither undermining the other. It would benefit them all and mean a lower investment up-front, they believed, and a higher return in the long term.
By the end of 2147, the structures for meat and dairy production stood complete and a road had connected it and other homesteads along the way to the town Freedom Falls. While sky-cars never needed it, it was proven cost-effective in the long run to used wheeled transport for goods. To accommodate the workforce they needed for the construction, operation and maintenance of the shared buildings, homesteads started renting out buildings and rooms they had to spare, and soon new construction for the same purpose followed.
The small community is often referred to by the locals as Erantha, a name holding significance to the residents of Road's End, a memento to a brave departed that gave their life in the defense of the small community during the raid.
Most of its current population beyond the homesteaders, are those working in the larger town that saw the property prices out here to be lower. The transport costs could also be brought down if one was smart about it and traveled in groups. Given the growth of Freedom Falls, it now serves as more of a small suburb.
The road has also become a backbone for other farmsteads that has popped up after the human-lead expansion in the last two decades. This has also grown the company at the core of the community, and many of the farms along the road have a supply quota with. The company, which before bore the name of the three farmsteads, is now called the Erantha Company.
The commercial buildings in town aren't much to speak of, but they are sufficient in the day to day life. One of them is a general store with things from groceries to tools to a small selection of handguns and hunting rifles, the second is a mechanic workshop and the third is a human-owned pub that only holds open 3 days a week for the evening – and special occasions outside those times.
As for housing, the small community consists of twelve houses, most of which are duplexes and quadruplexes, and a single two-story apartment building with fifteen apartments. There are also ongoing construction projects in the area to bring that number up.
Population: 70 (including the homesteads)
