Medusa's Head Info Page
Welcome to the Medusa's Head islands Auction on Planet Calypso
Located between the Eudoria and Amethera continents, this island group is conveniently segmented into eight distinct land areas which can be administered individually by the owner. Each land area is complete with its own hunting lodge, fertilizer station, and revival terminal.
The islands are inhabited by a number of indigenous species, and fish will be found in the surrounding waters. As part of the purchase two special species DNA will be provided for the owner to breed. The estate's minerals and enmatters will also make it an attractive destination for miners. The owner will have full rights to set individual tax levels on each of the land areas, generating daily revenue from visiting hunters and miners.
The main island is divided into three large land areas, with each of the other five areas spread over the remaining islands. The main island also contains a large historic dwelling complex. Once the last bastion of human resistance during the first Robot War, and later a smugglers hideaway, the cliff-face complex has been fully renovated and now offers shopping and residential areas, a jetty for water borne visitors, landing pads for aircraft, a hangar, a direct teleporter to other locations on Calypso, as well as revival, storage, trade and society terminals.
The property will be available for viewing from December 7, with the official auction beginning on December 13 and lasting until January 3.
