Venice

Description:
Venice is two partially flooded Metros station that can be found on G-16 on the Green line. Heavily flooded, it is one of the only aquatic civilizations in the Metro, and contains the only source for fish.

History:
Venice is actually the combination of the Tretyakovskaya and Novokuznetskaya stations, both areas that were meant for heavy ridership prior to WWIII. The lighting in the circular hallways would enable a bright feel to passersby, while the marble ceilings and carvings in the ceiling would remind commuters of the heroes of the Soviet Union. Novokuznetskaya should be noted for its age, as it was originally constructed in WWII with the intent of increasing the ridership of inner city citizens. Both stations were located very closely to water sources, something that would be attributed to its nature in the future...

Present Day:
Following the explosions and nuclear destruction that shattered the world above ground, Venice was unfortunately not spared in the same way that some of the Metro's other stations were. Located closely to decently sized bodies of water; the bombs caused structural damage to the stations infrastructure that would cause a huge quantity of water to flood into the stations and submerge the platforms into nothing. Upon finding the flooded station (and the interesting aquatic wildlife that came with the flooding) Metro survivors quickly set up small communities, making use of the stations unique environment and resources. This would lead to a brimming industry in fisheries and other aquatic bound resources, making it one of the most influential stations in the Metro by far. Should the Coalition have any plans for Venice; they will need to carefully take into account the various factors that make this station near impenetrable by conventional means.
