| | | Originally, Estle city was built onto an island, however during the subsequent [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Yuuzhan_Vong Yuuzhan Vong] occupation of the Dajorra system, the island was extensively changed. When Arcona finally reclaimed the system, Estle City and indeed the entire island were dominated by a large mountain intersecting the two. Thus, Estle was rebuilt up the near sheer-cliff face of the mountain, with the Citadel perched atop a plateau at the base of the mountain.

| The Huascar Caste’s Temple is multifunctional, as it acts as a centre of learning for the people of Selen, teaching the inhabitants of all ages, from pre-school through to university level and also possesses the largest Medical facility in the system. The Huascar Temple is a sprawling building that reaches high into the skyline, and thus affords itself its own small landing facility near the roof so medical transports can easily take off and land. | | On the other side of the Mountain is [[Giletta Spaceport]], now kept far from the city proper. In order to reach the spaceport, one must travel through a massive set of tunnels that bore straight under the mountain (named Doto Peak). The city proper is a no-fly zone, apart from military vessels that would launch and land from the Citadel. |

| The Sinchi Caste Temple manages all commerce to and from Estle. Essentially a huge mall/inner city district, the name Temple doesn’t strictly apply other than to denote that the majority of the Caste’s denizens congregate here daily, especially in the open market.

| | |
| The Church of the Abyssal Order is the final notable location within the walls of Estle and daily the entire populace congregate here in reverence to the Consul. It is during these daily prayer sessions that important news is distributed and also many judicial proceedings take place. The Church itself is a huge construct that towers over the rest of Estle. | |

| House Qel-Droma's corporate front, [[Naruba Investments]] maintain offices in Estle City, together with [[Synergy Construction and Mining]].

| Also of note is the [[Giletta Spaceport]] which, whilst being a separate facility in itself, is also attached to Estle City.

Estle city is the political, cultural and religious centre of the Dajorra system and its inhabitants. By far the largest city in the system, it houses approximately half the planet’s native population and as such presents massive tactical advantage to whoever holds it. Put simply, whoever controls Estle City controls Dajorra.
