Rotherton

Rotherton is a city on the Southeast Coast of Britain on Earth and the birthplace of ranger Syrius Richardson and his father Titus Richardson. It is named after the ancient Rother district in which most of the old towns sat.

Originally composed of smaller towns, notably Rye, Hastings, Bexhill and Eastbourne until the start of the 24th century; the towns grew tremendously during the days of first contact in the 22nd century, but after the Proteus Corporation's Earth Independence Party became the planet's first global political party to have a strong influence on world governments, the towns, like all in the UK banned aliens and as the towns grew into a larger municipal district, however many aliens still hid on the coast for safety away from the inner cities such as London.

In the early days of the EGA the towns were still referred to individually by name until in 2470 Eastbourne and Bexhill became the city of Sovereignton until merging with Hastings in 2490 where it became Rotherton.

Like many smaller cities on Earth in the 31st Century it is green and lightly urbanised with time and care taken to ensure large amounts of parks and forests still remain.

The city is through to soon merge with London and other coastal cities such as Brighton and Solent City in a proposed massive hyper-city called Albion that will take up all of the British Isles.
