VZSCIFI COMPOSITION
The Expressways
Last Updated: 26 May 2000 By: John Freeman

The Expressways, sweep across the Orellian System linking all the planets -- the first stage in the creation of a Dyson Sphere. For orientation, imagine Space City as the southernmost point and Technos as the North.

In order to maximise enjoyment, the engineers of this environment have only created a minimal number of visual representations of the Conduit System as an acknowledgement that some members might find too much walking very tiring.

Conduit One -- Conduit Two 
General imagery used to create tubes as follows:
Floor: o.tubefloor
Wall: o.tubewall
