And Our Next Destination Is...
Tomorrow, Fandom is lifting off out of Stormwind to jump over to its next destination! Since Azeroth clearly didn't turn out to be what it needed, it is overcompensating a little in the opposite direction and leaping to Illium in the Tasale System! Illium is a hive o' scum and villainy-- or, you know, a heavily corporate planet with almost no laws. Run by asari (yes, of fewerexplosions fame, but decades later, when humans are well-known throughout the galaxy), Illium is a planet that thrives on trade and high-tech technology.
As a commerce planet, Illium is used to all kinds of strange people showing up. Fandomites will, ergo, fit right in and no one will even blink at the green triangle-y thing. You can expect to see most of this galaxy's species around the Illium - though not hostile critters like the Geth, the Collectors, and the Reapers. Murder is illegal, but that's about the only thing that is; drugs, weaponry, all that good stuff can be easily acquired.
For all the darkness going on under the surface, though, Illium is a genuinely beautiful planet (you can see it in motion here). The architecture is white and sleek, in that sort of 80s futuristic kind of way, with plants embedded in artistically sound locations and lots and lots of glass. The main hub of Illium is a city that sprawls over almost the entirety of the planet, and it never sleeps.
Most traffic on Illium happens by sky car (provided there's not some crazy woman called Shepard trying to race through town). There are plenty of taxi options available.
While we don't have a great deal of named locations on Illium, there are plenty of night clubs and small cafés all over the area Fandom will be settling near (as a floating station, this time. Trés chique.) All will have dining and drinking options for humans and quarians and no small amount of other species. And yes, all over Illium's many open-air boulevards, you will probably find advertisements that are supposed to be tailored to each individual.
Of course, since nobody on Illium has any records of anyone on Fandom, these ads will just be addressing ERROR when they try and speak to you.
Go on. Relax. Enjoy Illium. Maybe catch a Blasto movie, or listen to aliens dealing with everyday problems like 'trying to get a girl who's clearly not interested in you like that to see you as a romantic prospect', or 'running cross-species bachelor parties is complicated'. It'll be fun!
