Ecumenopolis

Ecumenopolis is the capital of Ancastria, and is situated somewhere near the edge of the central galactic bulge. It is a city-planet, thought originally to have been originally terraformed and colonised by humans. It is considered a "Neutral zone" to the senate, and is where they hold counsel.

Ecology
The entirety of Ecumenopolis has been urbanized, as it is the financial centre of the republic, as well as the political centre. As a result, there are very few plants and animal species other than those which have been domesticated. The sewerage system of the planet is home to many creatures such as rats and other strange wildlife though people are seldom permitted there. The parks and zoos in the city are the only other places where 'wild' animals exist, and species from all over the republic are represented.
