Ark

The last Stellarborne city. Ark was the core Stellarborne city, being the place where its central command was situated, as well as the archival facilities for all Stellarborne knowledge. In the present, Ark is the final city still in operation after the fall of its six sister cities.

Layout
Ark is a disc-shaped construct, about 10 kilometers in diameter. At the center of it sits the main structural tower, The Citadel. All of Arks buildings are raised on circular platforms which floats independent of the city, though they are locked in place by a gravitational tether. The buildings are usually large multipurpose towers which can reach hundreds of meters in height, and vary vastly in floorplanning from building to building. All towers are built with a specific metal alloy, giving the city a glittering golden sheen.

The city itself is divided into sections, separated by walkways which also acts as structural struts to keep the outer wall in place. Each section has its own cultural variations depending on the major buildings which can be found within it. The most notable buildings are the Academica, the Barrel, and the Garden. On the outskirts of the city, close to the outer wall, are the Marbles, a collective of spherical, cheap housing for use when vacancies within the city runs out. Though overpopulation has never been a large concern for the Stellarborne, some individuals choose to live in the Marbles of their own volition.
