Quark City, the first colony on Laythe. Rather than calling it "city", it's more like a village. The majority of the building is made of concrete and bricks, and there're also several bases landed from orbit, like the Picker Base B-5 landed there yesterday, aiming for the nuclear fuels.

The Picker B-5 is the "artificial gravity partner" of Picker C-2. During the past 150 days B-5 and C-2 was attached to the VASIMR stage by fifty-meter-long ropes, and as C-2 is a little heavier than B-5, the rope for C-2 is a few meters short. C-2 and B-5 were slowly rotating during the travel like binary stars to simulate gravity, and their barycenter is VASIMR stage, the thrust provider. Quiet neat.
