Orestes Settlement (Spartans in Space)

The Orestes Settlement is a submersed settlement located in the upper atmosphere of Uranus. It also acts as the regional capital of the overall Spartan Uranus colony.

Structure of the City
Orestes is within Uranus' upper atmosphere as going any further would cause Orestes to collapse due to the extreme pressure found within lower Uranus. Each building in the city has radiation proof walls to ensure the safety of the Spartans present on the settlement. Water purification plants are found in the southern portion of the settlement to clear out the water collected from Uranus' mantle. The city itself gets all of its power of Uranus' strong winds and much like the other gas giants, never faces issues such as power shortages due to the abundance of wind power found on Uranus.

History of Orestes
Orestes was constructed as the first successful settlement on the gas giant Uranus not including the settlement of Uranus' moons or rings. The Spartan government attempted to send submerged settlements on three separate occasions which all failed. Uranus' 90 degree rotation and the high pressure of gas giants made submersible settlements harder. After staying afloat for 10 earth-years, Orestes was declared a success and was officially inaugurated as a territory of Sparta in 1130. Initially Orestes attracted many scientists who wished to gain a better understanding of Uranus and how its atmosphere functions. By the 1300s settlement to Orestes had mostly shifted from scientists towards people living on Uranus' moons and those who wanted a more direct source of water.
