UPDATE: APPRENTICE SEKKER
Korriz Industrial District #13, better known as the Steel City, is a 'residential district' on Korriz, though it can be regarded as a city in its own right. It has a population of over 330,000, despite being capable of only housing 30,000, and originally designed for only a few thousand inhabitants. It has grown into towering metal spires that are crushingly dense and packed together. It has grown into this during Korriz's lack of contact with the Empire before its reconquest during the Great Galactic War, though it was originally founded as a residential district during the time of the Old Empire. As a result of its staggering height, it has been divided into three layers.
The Upper Reach
The safest and best-controlled part of the city, home to the most privileged inhabitants. It is likely the cleanest section of the city and deposits its waste down to the Lower Reach as of a few decades ago.
The Middle Reach
Also known as the Mid Reach, the Middle Reach is where most of the residents live: it is unsafe and dirty, and is ill-patrolled by what law enforcement there is. This area also holds most of Steel City's infrastructure, producing all manner of waste, from industrial byproducts to oil residue, et cetera.
The Lower Reach
This refers to the lowest levels of the City: the levels at ground level and those just above it. It is without oversight from any Imperial agency, and as a result, is lawless and dangerous. It acts as a massive dumping ground for all types of waste produced by the reaches above, particularly human and domestic waste, industrial chemicals, and other substances. This has been going on for decades from the Upper Reach and for centuries from the Middle. Its population has reverted to a form of feudality, though I've found little info on this yet. I expect gang warfare, as crime rates are high. Information about the Lower Reach is scarce: no firm evidence exists. Records do indicate that what infrastructure existed has been modified or has decayed beyond recognisability. Large amounts of waste are also flung off the megastructure into the void.
The Lower Reach and the bottom quarter of the Middle Reach are so built-up that they are inaccessible from the outside: to reach it, a shuttle would need to descend into Steel City itself and land in the Upper or Middle Reach before descending.
