Shang Ra'la

Characteristics
Built in and on 35 km of nickel-iron asteroid, the space city Shang Ra'la houses the ruling family of the Jade Worlds and the SIL's Kingdom of Halcyon: Shau'ghun (and Queen of Halcyon) Halla Kaijus, and Prince-Archon Braily Terrablade, King of Halcyon and Lord of Clan Jaguar in the Jade Worlds. Skyscrapers reach up kilometres from the asteroid's upper surface, but they are only part of the massive city that reaches into the planetoid's very core. A mixture of architecture from planets of Sandia and the Jade Worlds, the city houses three quarters of a million people, and encompasses residencies and embassies for notables of every description. Although not in any circumstances a warship, for the sake of the royal family's security it is protected by a light planetary shield generator and the weaponry of an Imperator-class Star Destroyer Mark II. Huge docking bays can accommodate small capital ships.

History
The space city is being constructed in orbit around an obscure gas giant in the Kingdom of Halcyon in the Unknown Regions, guarded by a massive Sandian fleet including a large Templar contingent, as well as the [[Shau'ghunate Guard|Guard's[/i] Second Sector Fleet.
