The Denver Nexus is a data haven located at an abandoned US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs in the Front Range Free Zone. It is one of the main hubs of the North American online shadow community, the home of the central node of the Shadowland BBS, and is the largest data haven in the world. The Nexus was founded sometime after the Crash of 2029 by a former member of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Mitch Kapor.
