It has been confirmed that Nishitama City and its Logistics ship, the Atlas, have begun orbiting and accepting people from the Ketsurui Sanctuary. The city-ship, which can provide homes for 20,000 residents, has been slated to become a living place for former military personnel displaced by the military downsizing, as well as returning POWs of the SMX.
The entire crew of the Nishitama consists of former Star Army of Yamatai personnel, honorably discharged after the downsizing of the military forces. While the owner of the ships has maintained ownership of the vessels, near carte blanché has been granted to the Empire in the assignment of living quarters and running of the city's governmental needs. Some homes have been set aside already for crew and other specific people, but these are the sole restrictions given.
The Nishitama is one of only four remaining Horizon-class Colony Ships thought to exist, and the only one in Yamataian space.
