Barq is the capital and largest city of the Tourr Imperium, as well as its industrial and economic center. A vast city of over 3 billion people, with an economic output of 870 trillion Zaal, the urban metropolis contains the majority of fusion energy infrastructure on Tourr, as well as most of the planet's orbital transportation capacity. Manufacturing facilities producing superconductors, fusion energy components, spacecraft, and robotics are common, while a developed creative sector is responsible for the city's prominence in science, engineering, and technology. The Interplanetary Senate and the Imperial Palace are located here.
