The Wards

From FABT

Shalta Ward, one of the five wards of the Citadel

The Wards were the five arms of the Citadel that connect to the main Presidium central ring, and make up the majority of the station's superstructure, and its cityscape. Quality of life and industrial extensiveness depend on the ward, of which there are five. Shalta Ward (also known as Aroch Ward), which contains most of the financial district and the Citadel's CBD, not to mention a high quality life and the densest population on the station. Zakera Ward, which has the highest crime rate, the largest C-Sec force, two thirds of the population of Shalta, and most of the civilian housing. Kithoi Ward (also known as Romulus Ward), which is home to many schools, most of the industrial sector, and the Citadel Central Historical Archives. Tayseri Ward (also known as Kikowani Ward), which is the location of CDF headquarters, most of the entertainment sector, two spaceports, and a few religious facilities for the hanar. Finally, there is Bachjret Ward, which is considered the poorest of the wards, with the lowest population, a notoriously corrupt C-Sec force, and an economically stagnant and outdated tourist industry. Safely put, the Wards do not enjoy the same luxuries as the Presidium, with their artificial sun replaced with the natural light of Widow. Like the rest of the Citadel, the Wards were destroyed when the station crashed into Eos in 2253 CE.
