Hive Capitol

Hive Capitol is three times capital in the Gorian Sector\Protectorate. First, it is the capital arcology of Goria Primus as a world, then sub-sector Capital city of the Soul Stars, and sector\protectorate command for the Gorian Sector\Protectorate.

Like every other hive cities on Goria Primus, Hive Capitol is in fact combined gigantic arcologies forged in the cavernous holds under one of the planetary plateaus and mountain range that once were sculpted in the likeness of heroes of the Great Crusade and the god-like figure of the Emperor of Mankind.
While most of its exterior majesty has been destroyed during the events of the Inheritor Fleet like every other hive cities, the interor of Hive Capitol is the incarnation of the majesty someone may anticipate of such an important megalopolis.
The city is composed of dozens of caverns hundreds of metres high, supported by marble-covered towers containing the palace of aristocratic elites, foreign trade cartels and mechanicum enclaves. Between these gigantic structures where dwell the greatest of the imperial citizenry, manufactorum and great hab-blocks cover thousands of square kilometres to lodge millions of citizens. In the canyons between these urban infrastructures can be found the shanty towns and tox-wastelands of the underworld, ancient mining tunnels and water treatment plants abandonned over the ages.
Hive Capitol mountainous flanks are home to garrisons, weapon batteries and fortifications that protects it from ground and airborn assaults while laser and torpedo silos are lined against the threat of orbital assault. 
The greatest landmarks of Hive Capitol are the following:

The Senatorum Goriae: Wearing the same name as the institution it lodges, the Senatorum is a many hundred kilometres square building flanked by many administrative marble columns supporting the vaults of the arcology. At the core of the Senatorum Goriae is the Lord Sector's Court, a gigantic room supported by long statues in the likelihood of past heroes and ended in the double throne of the Lord Sector and his Lady. Antechambers, audience rooms, towered guest quarters are all the space that are needed for the courtly intrigues between Senatorum sessions. The limited entries to the Senatorum Goriae are protected by veteran units of the Highlanders and heavy adamantium blast-door guarded by servitor-units. 
The Inquisitorial Citadel: Situated in the centrer of a massive canyon as an upwring megastructure made from black marble and accessible via only one long bridge coming from the east and supported by statues of hooded forms. The Citadel is always silent, the limited air traffic coming there is always abandonned without guard at the end of the bridge on a stone platform. The most remarkable fact about the Citadel is the complete absence of shanty towns and hab-blocks in the depth of the canyon from which it emerges.
