Fox Bay

Fox Bay is the thrid largest city in the Falklands and is home to several famous residents. It is the largest oil port in the Southern Hemisphere and a major source of income for the islands. The settlement used to be split into two but when the islands gained independance they unified. The islands are regarded as the Capital of West Falkland and they are a major hub for sports as the only pre-independance medal winning olympic sportsman came from Fox Bay (for more info see: Louis Baillon ).

Post-Independance
The City since inependance and the discovery of oil has become a major world oil port with over 500,000 barrels of oil passing through its doors every day however the refinary isn't included as part of the Cities metropolitan area which officially is designated as the 3 districts around the bay.

The City began to have a rapid building scheme to accomidate the thousands of people passing through the oil port. The main street in the city began to pop up with thousands of portacabins to accomidate the Sailors, Workers and Builders all at the refinary and a massive heliport was built in the north of the city which carried people to and from the rigs to the city. Also many of the luxuaries missing on a rig can be found in the city. The makeshift city is currently being transformed into a propper city. It is also growing as a holiday resort for Stanley's workers who converge on the city in summer.

In the Buoy Colossus crisis people moved very quickly to take action in the city and defend it, it was the first site to be defended with tank traps and barbed wire however this was not needed. The city was a base for the Army and the Anglo-Falkland Deligations who on countless times visited the hotels around the city also on the night of the retaliation the X-Regiment and SAS left via boat and the Heliport bound to rescue the captive oil rig workers on the Buoy Colossus.

Georgaphy
Fox Bay City is located at the mouth of the bay and consists of several buildings. The bay is part of a larger bay which is also called fox bay. Pre Independance a ferry service was used to connect the two settlements but when they were merged with independance the need for a quicker service to cross the bay was needed so a plan to build either a bridge or a tunnel under the bay. The Bridge was accepted however it was to be limited in design so that cost wouldn't be high. The Bridge was built with concrete sections which cross the bay. The Bay is also the mouth for several rivers which is the source of the towns water.

Transport
Fox Bay is the only city in the Falklands with 2 Stations (unless you cound Stanley Airport as part of Stanley) plus the only other city (appart from stanley) to have a Tram service, it only has three stops: East Station, North City and Airport. The Roads from the city connect the whole of the Islands and Fox Bay is considered a major hub for transport.
