Line 6: One of more sparsely populated regions of Solaris, during the golden years of the [[Star League]] a massive sewage treatment plant was constructed in [[Bracken Swamp]]'s town of ''Rowe'' part of [[Solaris City]], the extremely sophisticated facility capable of purifying more than four million gallons of waste water daily, easily meeting the needs of both Solaris City and [[Xolara]]. Like many examples of the Star League's advanced technology, the technological decline of the [[Succession War era]] soon meant the plant became [[LosTech]], falling into disrepair for centuries.<ref name=STR-40/> One of more sparsely populated regions of Solaris, during the golden years of the [[Star League]] a massive sewage treatment plant was constructed in [[Bracken Swamp]]'s town of ''Rowe'' part of [[Solaris City]], the extremely sophisticated facility capable of purifying more than four million gallons of waste water daily, easily meeting the needs of both Solaris City and [[Xolara]].
