Castellum

Main article: Castellum

Located in the more inland portions of Oraulan Shores, Castellum is the largest and tallest building on Yeddo. It is large enough to be a city of its own with all of its residential and commercial establishments being inside one singular building complex. A series of rails and highways circle upward in a spiral allowing traffic from the outside to seamlessly pass through it. Some like to compare Castellum to a combination of a shopping mall and an apartment complex seamlessly integrated into one.

It is thought that Castellum is also the oldest structure on the planet. Its architectural style is surprisingly consistent with the early Valerian period, particularly with buildings found on the planet Mars.

Games Arena

Star Lift

Main article: Star Lift

A large vertical structure in orbit, directly tethered to a buoy off the coast of Oraulan Shores. It serves as a means of easily transporting goods to and from the planet's surface. The Star Lift serves as a spaceport for starships traveling all over the galaxy. It also doubles as a communications node allowing the transmission of information at superluminal speeds. During the Virtual Wars, the cable was cut by the Insurgency as a means of slowing down production lines to the capital. There were at least three fatalities when the lower half of the severed cable crashed to the surface against Oraulan's beaches.

After the war, the cable was repaired by Virtuoso but not without charging a hefty fee to the Federation. This was one of the earliest post-war opportunities Virtuoso took advantage of when securing control over the Federation.

97 Sojourner Avenue

Main article: 97 Sojourner Avenue

A house that looks distinctly out of place from the rest of Yeddo's architecture. Resembling an Earth suburban home dating back to the 23rd century AD of the Gregorian calender, it is the residence of John Veer - a human from that time period that was transported 30,000 years into the future via deep space cryosleep. 97 Sojourner Avenue was designed specifically for him to help ease him into such a massive jump in time. The house is two stories tall with a basement and features a gas car garage, a front lawn and a backyard. The house is also enclosed in a small glass dome. As John Veer has difficulty breathing Yeddo's atmosphere, the interior contains a mixture of gases closer to that of ancient Earth, allowing him to walk around freely without his spacesuit without having to worry about shortness of breath.
