Mound Towns.

When originally built, the Mound Towns were actually island communities, with a vast inland sea covering the almost near-flat terrain of what now comprises the majority of the Oglije Basin. Over generations the water receded, leaving mounds 20-40' over the surface. The simple communities were continuously built up over the centuries, now housing up to 10K residents, each with their own economies, specialties and cultures.

The Wall and the Stone Temple. The Stone Temple is a sight to behold, but one of many when it comes to The Wall. Believed to have started as a natural vertical wall of granite The Wall was flattened and carved by nearby inhabitants over a millennia, enhancing its man-made appearance and leading to mythologies involving giants, aliens, and gods. Small caves, enclosures, petroglyphs and statues were carved for various purposes throughout its existence with dwellings beginning about 2000 years ago and the larger complexes, like The Stone Temple, appearing in the last 1500 years or so, the most recent of which was completed just two centuries prior. Carved straight from the natural granite, sites like the Stone Temple have grown into monumental attractions in their own right, dwarfing more ancient creations and causing controversy as they loom over and intrude upon prehistoric installations still in use while attracting throngs of tourists who leave trash and damage in their wake. While some sites still serve their religious and social purposes, many have become tourist attractions meant to drive money to The Wall region, again causing distrust and displeasure amongst those claiming to be original descendants.

Traffic at the Main Port.

It's hard to believe such a structure exists. What's even harder to grasp is that a structure so large doesn't have enough space dedicated to incoming traffic. Not only that but they all essentially enter through one main port, no matter the size of ship (an effective security measure left over from militaristic origins when it's commercial future was unforseen). From interstellar cargo vessels to planetary puddle jumpers and even individual cruisers, everyone enters "The Glacon" (a colloquial name referring to its shape and distance from the nearest star) through the Main Port, regularly resulting delays that stretch for hours, days and even weeks in the worst cases, depending on the season and space required for your vehicle. It makes sense then that The Glacon has seen a dramatic increase in unregulated black market ports (alongside a corresponding increase in atmospheric deficiencies and catastrophic depressurization incidents.)
