Fort Alamo started out mostly as a training ground for AU marines, Epsilons, and New Austin Rangers. The Fort housed families of military personnel at first and over time it evolved into a city in its own right. Like the other cities of New Texas built after Houston, it’s surrounded by hexagonal walls, though it tends to be more heavily manned than most city defenses. The high concentration of the Texasaurus population in the area meant the Fort was often attacked early on. Over the years Texasaurs have learned not to directly attack the walls. They have been growing more crafty, waiting for the cover of storms and fog or herding stampeding Hell Boars towards the walls instead. This combined with the important military assets necessitated a larger defense force.

The city is divided into several zones - military, industrial, residential, government, and commercial - that are connected by high-speed underground transit pods. Most of the city’s vehicles are automated, running on a wireless electrical grid built into the roads. Transportation between Fort Alamo and other cities is mostly via airplane, as travel by car is highly dangerous.
