The '''Mosi Elevated Maglev Ecosystem''' (MEME) is an elevated monorail train network connecting every town and city on [[Mos]]. The system has a relatively small footprint, even for a rail network. Large cylindrical “stilts” raise a pair of electromagnet “tracks”, one per direction, seventy feet above ground level. Large, high yield electrical transmission lines are run parallel to the two rails. Newer and refurbished lines make use of gravity magic bleed effects instead of electromagnets, expanding their compatibility with more types of vehicles.
==Day-to-Day Use==
Given the large amount of current needed to run the system, and the distances involved, extra electrical transmission lines are laid along every length of track. Because this extra potential is only needed under heavy use, the transmission lines are normally used for settlement-to-settlement sale of electricity.

==The Main Line and Memorial Terminus==
One of the first major projects of the Colonial Government, the Main Line was the first and longest section of the Mosi Elevated Maglev Ecosystem, running in a shortest-route line between the only two cities of '''New Harmony''' and '''Orasestra'''. Intended as a thoroughfare, this route was built as six parallel lines stretching across the planet, unlike the two planned for the rest of the network.▼

In the sudden destruction of Orasetra, the volcano’s eruption also severed the line to the city. It was not until the rise of the Mosi Republic that a new station, Memorial Terminus, would be planned to reach the Eruption Exclusion Zone. It would serve as the gateway for a major shrine and memorial to those lost in the disaster. Unofficially, it is also the gateway into the EEZ itself.
==History==
The Mosi Elevated Maglev Ecosystem was established during the first colonization of the planet. Being generally conservative with any new construction, lines were built for very specific trade purposes; mines to factories, factories to New Harmony and Orasestra, and the Main Line between the two cities. After the city’s disappearance, imagery of the severed Main Line into Orasestra was a major propaganda piece both for and against the Colonial Government.
