Civilization.
Under occupation.

The station brings you in. The Citadel towers overhead. The Combine decide what passes for order. This is City 17, an occupied city in development on Roblox, built by Astralon.

An apartment door is no guarantee of privacy. Contraband can be seized. Supplies change hands through player trades. See how the team is building these encounters into everyday life beneath the Combine.
