Spherus Magna Refuge

The  was a massive structure created as an emergency measure to protect the population of Spherus Magna in the face of a catastrophe.

Secretly, the Refuge was also used for illegal operations in the kingdom of Xianori.

History
The Refuge was built by the Metru Magna Militar Engineering in case the population of Metru Magna had to evacuate for some emergency. However, the Spherus Magna Council, which had interests in the kingdom of Xianori, prompted that the construction be made closer to the kingdom than to Metru Magna.

For years, the refuge was secretly used to spy Xianori, with several Senators also taking advantage of the misery of the lower-class kingdom.

When the Chorak invaded the city of Metru Magna, its inhabitants moved to the refuge to stay safe, although not all arrived alive.

Eventually, the Chorak discovered the refuge and attacked. This attack activated a self-destruct mechanism, leaving the residents few minutes before an imminent explosion. All the residents managed to escape the refuge moments before its destruction, except Gryk, who died in the explosion.

Many years later, the kingdom of Xianori began to enter into civil war, with the lower class tired of their situation and preparing to fight. Deriahk and Turaga Koved initiated an investigation on their own to unmask the corruption in the Council, and discovered the operations at the Refuge. They revealed the information to Toa Nugru, with the intention of stopping the war in Xianori before it began.

Landscape
The refuge was a massive structure, hidden in the landscape of the Bota Magna region of Spherus Magna.

Becuase of the interests of several corrupt Senators of the Spherus Magna Council, the refuge was constructed closer to the kingdom of Xianori, although its use was destined only for the inhabitants of Metru Magna. In secret, the refuge hid several illegal operations, as well as valuable and dangerous artifacts.

Inside, the shelter contained rooms divided into sectors, but they were not focused on luxury as their counterparts in Metru Magna, but on security. The shelter was organized like a building, with spacious rooms designed to house several refugees at the same time.

The entire structure was protected by a deflector shield and a security system designed to destroy the building in case of violent intrusion. The latter was secretly devised in an attempt to hide the illegal operations.

Trivia

 * The Order of the Great Creators knew that the Refuge had been built to keep Xianori under observation, but did not know about the illegal operations. Had he heard of the corruption, Vavakx would have detained the Senators involved.
