Prior to the events of the Impostors series, Shreve had a militaristic reputation in the global community. Citizens also often take advantage of rainstorms that temporarily disrupt the spy dust.

However, underground cliques such as Future, Secret Hookups, and Crime, as well as Widgets, use the Palimpsest, an invisible graffiti, to communicate without being noticed by the spy dust. The spy dust in the city produces video and audio of all its citizens, allowing the First Family access to information that could be used to control or prosecute any citizen. After the Mind Rain, Rafia's father took power and ruled the city as a dictatorship. Located somewhere near the ruins of Shreveport, Louisiana, United States of America. Diego's AI uses a humanoid avatar several times in the series, convincing enough that Frey mistook it for a human during their first few interactions.Ĭolor: Red (with Black and Gray battle livery) | First Family: Rafia's Family (unnamed) This AI, in comparison to Paz's AI, is more integrated as far as city-wide functions and has fewer privacy restrictions for data collection and recollection. Later in the series, Diego is shown to have a sentient-level city AI. Diego's buildings are known to feature hoverstruts in their architecture (at least prior to the Diego War). Diego, from Tally's perspective, was shocking for the advanced morphologies that were allowed in the city (as opposed to Seatac which strictly adhered to the Morphological Standards set by the Pretty Committee). While Seatac invested significant resources in enforcing the Prettytime Regime, Diego did not separate Uglies and Pretties and removed the bubblehead lesions from many of the teachers and leaders in the city.

Located near the ruins of San Diego, California, United States of America, Diego was the only other city mentioned in the original trilogy.
