# Tech World Creation - For Asla and Tech Heroes

## The Problem
**Heroes Needing Tech Origin:**
- **Asla**: Tech ADC with dual assault guns and AI-driven tanks

## Alternative: Retrofit Existing World

### Option: Expand Ola (Peaceful Diversity)
**Add Tech District to Mir (Government City):**
- Government tech development
- Police/tactical training facilities
- Corporate administrative centers
- Tech regulations and oversight

**Pros**: Uses existing peaceful world framework  
**Cons**: Dilutes both concepts, creates tech/magic mixing

### Option: Create Settlement on Existing World
**Add to Moc (Desert Scarcity):**
- Tech oasis with resource extraction
- Corporate mining/research facility
- Automated systems for desert survival

**Pros**: Explains resource scarcity drive tech development  
**Cons**: Doesn't fit established desert theme well

## Recommendation: Create Keth-7

**Reasoning:**
- Clean tech focus without diluting other worlds
- Explains advanced AI and tactical equipment naturally
- Creates recruitment source for future tech heroes
- Provides corporate vs resistance conflict for drama
- Allows proper development of cyberpunk themes

## Action Items
1. **Confirm Keth-7 creation** vs existing world expansion
2. **Assign Asla and Pravada** to appropriate settlements
3. **Develop faction relationships** and conflicts
4. **Create tech progression** from basic to advanced
5. **Map connections to other worlds** - trade, recruitment, isolation

*This world fills a major gap in your tech hero origins*
