Ikarus hovers above the Toxic Wastes, held aloft by huge suspensors. It is, in fact, an archipelago of artificial flying islands which move in formation across the sky, sometimes parting to go their seperate ways, always coming back together in times of crisis. In many ways, Ikarus has preserved even more of the old technology than Prometheus. It's skyfleets are the mightiest in the world, and the islands themselves are all but immune to attack. Ikareans escaped the worst ravages of the Armageddon Wars and see themselves as a planetary elite spared because of their supreme destiny.
In reality, the folk of Ikarus are completely decadent, addicted to narcotics and debauched pleasures. They spend much time smoking demonweed in huge hookahs and indulging in erotic simulations in their reality machines. Throughout the Waste World, Ikarean pleasure houses can be found dispensing these pleasures for a price.
