- Civilian sector: Includes housing for personnel during peacetime and their families, as well as commercial areas and other services. This area is moderately patrolled with strongpoints built into the area’s architecture as well as shelters for the population.
- Outer military sector: Includes landing fields and training areas, as well as barracks and other infrastructure. Ringed by a single layer defensive wall and covered by deflector shielding during battle, as well as anti-air gun batteries and storage for armored vehicles.
- Inner military sector: Includes ground-orbit defensive guns and missile platforms, armored hangers and bunker complexes. This area has a two layer defensive network including pillboxes, walls, and a pair of deflector shield generators. As well, it includes multiple mass production facilities for food and ammunition recycling plants allowing it to keep the entire base self-sufficient for decades while under siege.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Early in its history the Citadel was a small fort in the wilds of early age Nothmir, a training location for aspiring warriors and later elements of its standing army. The Citadel would steadily grow, its superstructure would be built upwards while layers would be built outwards. Subsequent garrison commanders would work with the military planners and architects of their eta to create a fortress unrivaled in the galaxy. By shield generators and huge weapon batteries it would be protected from Base Delta Zero level orbital attack, fighter launch bays and flak towers would provide it with the interception ability to create a huge anti-aircraft screen, and the ground level would include everything from armored vehicle sally-ports to gun-covered curtain walls.
The Citadel also grew in scope, the duration of the sieges it could survive stretching further and further as it became more of a militarized arcology than a simple fortress. Recycling facilities, small factories, and food production plants would allow it to sustain even the heaviest of fighting for incredibly long periods of time. With luck those facilities would remain unused, but they would remain regardless, ready for their hour of need.
