Halt's Junction

Halt’s Junction is a small settlement of about 1000 people built inside an old, pre-war railway station. It is one of the more pleasant towns this far from Shangri-La, it’s residents are, on the whole, very tolerant of robots and even human robot-human relationships. It has become a bustling trade hub and holds a twice-weekly market where one can purchase fine fabrics, spices, cured meats and even the occasional piece of archeotech courtesy of R6's stall of scavenged good.

Founding
Halt’s Junction was, apocryphally, founded approximately a decade after the War of Awakening by a man named Archie Halt and his family after the train they had repaired ran out of fuel just before the station. They disembarked, took it as a sign and began to build a life for themselves in the station.

Destruction
Unfortunately, Halt’s Junction was destroyed in the year 2318 by a contingent of The Black Crusade. The crusade arrived in the early hours of the morning and, seeing the robots among the population, smashed a hole in the exterior wall and slaughtered the inhabitants to a man despite the resistance of the town guard.
