New Junction is a city on Lo (Corel III) in the Corel system, United Empire of Earth (UEE). Situated on the plains of the equatorial Quoph region, the city is hot year-round and suffers from frequent dust storms. To cope with these hostile conditions, nearly all of the buildings are fitted with extra insulation and atmospheric filtering to help maintain air quality and temperature. Humans and Banu traveling between the Banu Protectorate and the UEE must visit Lo to get their cargo inspected before being allowed to cross the border.
