SERENITY SYMBOL FIREFLY SERIES
In the CoDominium series Sparta is the colony world for the United States and Europe.Londinium is the original Latin name for the settlement which became London.The Ministry of Intelligence and the elite SAS ( Special Alliance Support) forces have their headquarters on the planet, while, in orbit the Alliance flagship Victoria protects the skies. Such a large military target is protected by a large military presence. Most come from the early days of colonization, but the most valuable pieces are the ancient artifacts from Earth-That-Was. The Londinium Museum, which contains the Museum of History and the Museum of Art, is a splendid building that holds a variety of treasures. Londinium contains the finest museums of Earth-That-Was and colonial artifacts and also the largest collections of Western-style art in the system. Not all of the planet is dedicated to political dealings though. There was a policy of shoot-on-sight for any craft that comes too close to the Parliament building No Fly Zone. The Parliament building itself (which contains " the House", where the members of Parliament meet to debate current issues) was the size of a small city and surrounding Alliance government complex which contained the offices of ministers and their civil servants (and was also where the aforementioned clocktower was) made up the entire unitary decision-making body of the Allied Planets. The Alliance Parliament building was situated on Londinium. That light is what makes the Firefly so delightful and rich in symbolism. They can also represent new beginnings, a change of heart, a new start in life, and the good things to come.

Politics was the main activity on Londinium. Firefly tattoos are therefore often chosen as symbols of enlightenment, happiness and hope. The capital city of Londinium is New Cardiff. Much thanks to the Firefly-Serenity Chinese Pinyinary for the translations. The planet has twenty-six metropolises, five of which are prominent spaceports. Here, then, is a collection of 15 of Firefly‘s most, well absurd, obscene, and outrageous lines ever delivered in Mandarin Chinese. The symbol of the planet is an Imperial Gothic clocktower (a la Big Ben). the contemporary Houses of Parliament, Tower Bridge, etc.) became the norm for almost all building on Londinium. The Imperial Gothic style of the buildings (e.g. Old western traditions were combined with modern technology, the best example being the buildings themselves as they were built with the most advanced materials but designed to look like stone. Most of the settlers came from Europe and the Americas and the predominant western culture took hold here quickly.
