Legend

this was ostensibly the capital of the planet Ord Cestus, although its primary population was made up of offworlders who worked for Cestus Cybernetics. The name ChikatLit literally meant "the center" in the X'Tingian language. The city itself was built inside the bubble-shaped chamber formed millions of years ago by lava, which was then expanded by the work of the X'Ting. Over time, the various cultures represented by the offworlders were displayed in the city's achitecture, giving ChikatLik an urban randomness that made it exceptionally beautiful. A network of transportation tubes and tunnels wound through the walls of the bubble, allowing access to the entire city. Below the city, living in a network of tunnels and caves, were the X'Ting hives. It was one of six major city nodes that were spread across the planet's surface, which were connected with a series of transport tubes and tunnels.
