Zhizn'

Description:
The primary Headquarters of the Hansa throughout the Civil War. Located on B2 on the Round.

History:
Formerly Belorusskaya station, Zhizn' is now home to some of the richest people in the Metro. Surrounded by beautiful vistas and enjoyments, life above Belorusskaya was good before the war. Some of the cities most affluent individuals found themselves living in the area, and as such acted as both an economic and entertainment hub in the urban sprawl of Moscow. Many family businesses found work in the area, offering a distinct charm to the passerbys, and showcasing a variety of various Russian norms.

Present Day:
Zhizn' was chosen as the site for the Hansa's key operation for both symbolic and pragmatic reasons. Zhizn' was the origin point of the Hansa when they first made it to the Metro station, and has functioned favourably as the staging grounds for operations concerning the Hansa. As such, it is heavily fortified, and the citizenship of those that reside in this station are exclusive and very high class compared to others in the Metro. The station is heavily guarded by mercenary groups that have either sworn allegiance to the Hansa, or temporary fighters attracted by the prospect of food, shelter, and entertainment.

Although not considered very large or formidable; the foundation of a formal HQ gives the Hansa the ability to properly deal with its trading enterprise while managing their protection and offense capacities. Delegates will have to keep in mind the importance of the HQ to the survival of the Hansa, and will have to decide which channels of support they should attempt to enter if they wish to stay on good terms with the Hansa.
