Description: The Grand Colosseum of Canthar is a shining example of the new heights the Epicanthix people have reached under the rule of Arch-King [member="Darth Carnifex"] ans the Zambrano Family. Originally built during the reign of King Magnus Zambrano I the colosseum fell into disrepair until Kaine Zambrano took power on Panatha. Battle was integral to Epicanthean culture and the colosseum stood for hundreds of years as an important part of the peoples lives. In the first few years of his reign it was considered one of the biggest projects on his agenda.
The project was the very first in the extensive Imperialization effort launched by the Arch-King all across the Pacanth Reach. The overall design of the new colosseum was edgier and far more industrialized than the old rounded creation, an imperial design that is now completely integrated into the empires culture. Under the supervision of the Arch-Prince Braxus Zambrano did the project begin. The first difference beyond the architecture between the grand colosseum and the old was its size. The old ruins albeit massive were completely removed and a full block beyond the original perimeter of the colosseum was cleared as well. The new design was almost 150% larger than the old.
An large area beyond the massive structure was cleared and could be used as a parade or rallying ground as well. The second difference between the new colosseum and the old: underground. The old tunnels were narrow with most of the sites facilities for entertainment being contained above ground with only gladiatorial pits, medical facilities, and beast pens being located underground, a truly plain design. In the new design there are roughly six full underground levels. The first level is largely inaccessible and is used as part of the state-of-the-art terrain simulation and design chamber. This chamber aides in the unique technology that allows the host of the games to craft nearly any variety of environment and simulate weather and climate differences inside a containment field.
The second level holds an extensive gladiator and combatant area where fighters come to prepare themselves for battle. It holds a vast array of preparation chambers, and medical facilities to attend to the wounded. Third level is used as a barracks and command center for the guardsman and those who work in the colosseum including slavers, beast tamers, and other necessary employees. The fourth level is the beast pens where monsters from all across the galaxy are gathered and penned up here. The fifth level of the colosseum is used primarily as a storage area and is also where armories containing various weapons, armor, and other equipment are kept.
Additionally barding for creatures and various light vehicles are stored here for the games. The sixth and final level is mostly a restricted area that features the power generators used to keep the colosseum running. The next difference from the old was the very stadium itself and its rectangular design allowing an expansion of the number of seats from 80,000 to 100,000
