Deep within Orion Industries' capital sector—running from Polrish in the north to Threnos in the southeast and Joris in the southwest—Ida's planetary city hosts 18.2 trillion workers and shareholders. Argent City is its premium zone, and within it a rare ribbon of ground-level pavement cuts straight through the skyline. That straight line is Prosperity Boulevard, the only horizontal monument in a world of vertical ambition and the chosen artery through which Orion houses its heart, mind, and iron will.
Axis of Authority
Prosperity Boulevard connects the corporation's ultimate poles of decision: the forked glass heights of the Supreme Corporate Court Spire in the north and the watchful, data-sheathed Ocular to the south. Moving along its polished surface is a walk from judgment to vision, a deliberate spatial manifesto that law and strategy stand in an unbroken circuit.
Street-Level Anatomy
Every kilometer of the avenue is built to announce permanence and profit. On approach, visitors encounter:
- Executive Citadels: Resource, logistics, and finance chiefs operate shoulder-to-shoulder, their towers serving as both residence and fortified office.
- Nexus Ring: The boulevard widens into a vast roundabout whose circulating traffic mirrors Orion's flow of capital. At its core rises the domed Military High Command Hall—a fortress reminder that corporate edicts are backed by overwhelming martial readiness.
- Embassy Parade: Diplomatic compounds of compliant nations and trade conglomerates stand as compliance trophies, proving Orion's dominion over political partners.
- Aurelian Hall: A luminous museum curating the approved history of Orion's ascent, framing efficiency, expansion, profit, and legacy as the apex of human endeavor.
Fortified Sanctum
Even the parklands skirting the boulevard are tactical assets, broken by Idan Defence Links—ground-to-orbit cannon banks and shield projectors that guarantee uninterrupted operations. Layered security protocols treat the district as sacred corporate ground; its occupants and assets represent the highest value per square meter in Orion's ledger.
Merit on Display
For the billions across Orion Industries' holdings, Prosperity Boulevard is a pilgrimage goal and a proof of meritocracy: a once-ordinary street elevated to a holy center of boundless wealth. To walk its pavement is to stand where corporate titans negotiate futures over guarded luncheons, to breathe the air of Strength, Diversity, Unity, and Prosperity manifested in steel and glass. Few earn passage; fewer still are invited to stay.
