Roscaelifer

Roscaelifer, also known as the Celestial Nexus or The Floating City Among The Skies, is a major location in Zenless Zone Zero.^[1] It is New Eridu's classified airspace zone,^[2][3] a floating island located in the Minerva Storm Belt.

Gameplay Notes

For the purposes of Faction-based effects, all Agents across Roscaelifer departments are considered to belong in one faction. This is known because Ultra Jake's Additional Ability description states that the ability activates if there are Roscaelifer Agents in the squad, but it is not restricted to specifically External Strategy Department Agents, for example.

Overview

Roscaelifer is a serene, peaceful place, described as a "Bangboo utopia" and said to be less lively than Waifei Peninsula.^[4] It has been an independent Restricted Zone since old Eridu, founded and ruled by Sunbringer, where Bangboo and humans live in harmony.^[3] Few people in New Eridu know of its existence. The External Strategy Department is responsible for Roscaelifer's external affairs, and acts as a bridge between it and the rest of New Eridu.^[2] The primary island that comprises Roscaelifer is Booastrum, named after the Bangboo themselves.^[5] The Booastrum District includes both Gear Street and Beckford Street, where the majority of Bangboo and human residents dwell respectively. Another island is Vyrium, which is where the Flint Workshop operates from.

Bangboo make up over 60% of Roscaelifer's population, and are fully recognized citizens with the same rights as human and Intelligent Constructs. Despite this, the Bangboo of the city are effectively "terminated" after fulfilling their work; to maintain the city's secrecy, their memories are wiped out, which is an experience akin to death. Due to this many Bangboo are apprehensive towards the ESD, which is the department responsible for Bangboo decommissioning.

Despite being a restricted zone, the "Three Pacts" of TOPS are maneuvering to secure the city for their own purposes.^[6]

Structure

Roscaelifer is governed by five major departments, known as the Five Central Departments:

• External Strategy Department, directed by Velina Airgid — responsible for connecting Roscaelifer with New Eridu and providing technical support for Bangboo^[7]
• Flint Workshop, directed by Claret Flint — the Porcelloy equipment research and manufacturing center^[8]
• Central Computing Department, directed by Dracaene Sunbringer — the computing center responsible for generating the Rosetta Data^[9]
• Airspace Patrol Department, directed by Lindverne Sunbringer — the official armed force functioning as military, security, and disaster relief^[10]
• Administrative Affairs Department, directed by Eldreda Sunbringer — the supreme governing body that creates the rules and coordinates other departments^[11]

Alongside these departments, there are numerous secondary factions such as the Council of Representatives and the Roscaelifer Merchant Delegation.

Trivia

Etymology

• The name Roscaelifer is likely derived from two existing terms: Ros (Cornish for "wheel") and caelifer (from the Latin caelum, "heaven; sky" + -fer, "-carrying"). A rough translation of Roscaelifer would be "Wheel of Heaven," matching its fame and recognition as "The Floating City Among The Skies" with numerous technological advances.
