Orta

Orta (pronounced or-dah) is the central location of Ramaxian World Oceans, its branches, training centers, and resident programs. It is the home of the Marixi caste.

Orta Main encompasses the smaller lagoon of the Ort`takal, where the lifeforms of the Polar Air Command are bayed. Under the dome is a portion of the Southern Coastal Marixitak Mountains that contains Polar Fleet Housing and the Marixi Training Program. Submerged in the Ortokil Lagoon is the Orta Biologic Center, responsible for cultivating the cyber-biotic vessels of the Polar Fleet, before they are taken to the Ramaxatae to mature. Orta Main’s dome also covers the high cliffs of the Northern Coastal Marixitak Mountains, built into these mountains are the administrative centers of the Surface Operational Department, the covert Sorority of Defense, and the Guardia Program Barracks and Training Center. The mountains also contain Fleet Health Center Prime and the Fleet Foodservice and Hygiene Annex. It is also home to The Office of Marixi Administration, and the fleet leg of Generational-Bluzsh Services (there are no citizens-bluzsh in Orta).

Orta’s sister dome, Secondary, covers the Turkol Flats in the west and is home to the Civilian Housing District. The CHD houses non-Marixi citizens employed by the Prime Lab and its branches in World Oceans. Residential housing is restricted only to non-Marixi; oceanic-assigned Marixi live on their vessels or on bases located throughout Ramaxicon. Marixi choosing to live outside Orta Prime, must acquire a residence in one of the citizenry domes of Pikalit, Toxis, Vanda, or Utama.

Orta (the name) comes from an old lithograph found in the far western wastelands (pre-impact Turkey) by Second Ramaxian Generation scouts. The image depicts a helovx woman in an old fighting uniform, donning a sword; etched across the painting is the word ‘Orta,’ a word similar to the name of the Ort’k shore, the prime landing sand at the foot of the Marixitak Mountains. Since 2100, the Orta lithograph has hung in Orta Main’s ‘Primary’s Residence.’
