| − | [[File:Citadel-Presidium-View From Ambasador Lounge 3.png|350px|right|The Presidium ring]] |
||
| − | The [[Presidium]] is the gleaming heart of the [[Citadel]]. It is located in the 10km wide central ring of the station, home to the various government offices of the [[Citadel Council]], as well as [[embassies]] for all of the species represented in the Citadel. While the [[Wards]] are home to most of the Citadel's population and are considered more lively, the Presidium is considered to be the province of [[Citadel space]]'s most elite and powerful individuals. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The interior of the Presidium is landscaped to resemble a lush parkland on a 'G' type planet (using the [[Systems Alliance]]'s Morgan-Keenan classification system). No detail was overlooked, boasting a large freshwater lake, verdant fields of grass, trees, and clouds, as well as artificial sunlight and gentle breezes. The Presidium goes through a brief day-night cycle, allowing six hours of darkness during which the 'sky' is darkened. The lakes on the Presidium act as reservoirs, independent from the water storage tanks in the wards. The water is purified to prevent bacteria from one species infecting another, due to the difference of amino acid structures that could prove fatal if ingested. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The buildings are built along the curving walls of the ring, and were meant to blend in unobtrusively with the surroundings. Located in the very heart of all this is the immense [[Citadel Tower]], where the Citadel Council itself meets and holds audience with ambassadors from the various governments. |

| − | [[Image:SS2.jpg|left|290px|Avina in front of the Relay Monument]] |
||
| − | [[Avina]] terminals are placed at key points throughout the Presidium, giving information on the surroundings. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The '''[[Relay Monument]]''', a scale reconstruction of a mass relay, can be found not far from the entrance to the [[Citadel Tower]]. This statue is believed to be a piece of [[Prothean]] art. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Near the Emporium is the '''[[Krogan Monument]]''', a huge statue commissioned to commemorate the efforts of the [[krogan]] during the [[Rachni Wars]]. |
||

| − | A male [[salarian]] and a [[human]] woman can be found chatting outside the '''[[Consort's Chambers]]''' on various topics. The woman mentions her office has been rearranged by the keepers five times this week. They also chat about entertainment on the Citadel, comparing the Embassy Bar to [[Chora's Den]]. |

| − | == Trivia == |
||
| − | [[File:Presidium?.jpg|right|200px|A concept of a Stanford Torus by artist Don Davis looks much like Mass Effect's Presidium.]] |
||
| − | *The name Presidium is derived from the Latin ''praesidium,'' meaning fort, stronghold, or garrison. |
||
| − | *The Presidium's appearance is very similar to a 1976 artist's conception of the interior of a [[wikipedia:Stanford torus|Stanford Torus]] space habitat. |
