the arena

An impromptu performance ground assembled when a portion of the hovercity's ships sets down in a wide ring on muddy ground, stacking four or five ships tall to make tiered seating for the privileged on the front decks. The fighting pit at its centre is rancid, waterlogged soil deep enough to suck at the feet, into which large metal crates are dropped from above as obstacles. STD:TSM:Ch 3
