A domed city which envelops the Horseshoe Dam northeast of Phoenix, Alpha remains a mystery. It’s a sealed environment, and no one knows any outsiders who have been in the enclosure. A few people who might have been representatives or purchasing agents have appeared from time to time, but they’ve disappeared before the could be interrogated.

Alpha appeared seemingly overnight (during the Collapse, when no one was watching), which indicates that whoever built it has enough money to finance fast and thorough construction, and also engenders enough loyalty to keep such a project from the general public.

Observers point out that Alpha has been built on the research of previous self-sustaining colonies, like the Bio 1 experiments. In fact the only thing that Alpha imports(as near as anyone can tell) is hydroelectric power. The state of Arizona would have taken exception to Alpha’s appropriation of the Horseshoe Dam, but the Roosevelt Dam and others are adequate to supply power to Phoenix’s diminished population, and there is still some power being transmitted to the cities from Horseshoe.
