The joint effort between the Sith Order and Aristocracy, the absolutely megalithic Citadel is a statement to the galaxy. Taking years of constant construction to complete, the Aristocracy funded the Citadel to flaunt their wealth. With ancient and mysterious ties to the Sith Order, many of the younger Aristocrats have found popularity in settling here. Their own private club in the dark reaches of the galaxy. The very top tier of the Citadel is a temple reserved for the Order, with only invited Aristocrats and Imperials being allowed to ride the lifts to it.
The Temple is done in a more modern industrial interior, crowned with a chamber for visiting Darths. Private rooms are available for any member of the Order that is passing through, with a separate floor for more permanent apartments just below those. Below the residences can be found a select few clubs and dining halls meant only for the true Sith. The exclusive of the exclusive. All across the top of the pyramid at the base of the temple, is arenas meant for duels as much as public executions. Prisoners and slaves alike are kept within said temple base, both equally as likely to be thrown into a pit with a monster; be it literal or Sith.
Everywhere else below that temple in the Citadel is a thriving city. Large, expansive apartments dominate directly under the Sith temple. Below that is a vast community of restaurants, clubs, concert halls and spice dens where the Aristocracy plays. At the very base of the Citadel is where the various servant and slave quarters are. Along with those serving the Citadel itself, it also acts as the main Imperial slave hub in the galaxy. With the community that lives within the Citadel, there is also regular traffic from Aristocrats seeking new flesh to own.
With the vastness of the pyramid city, a network of lifts and atmospheric shuttles transport the Imperials wherever they need to go. Clearance from the Sith Order is needed to take a lift to the top levels, or take a shuttle to them. Exempt areas being the rooftop arenas, where the Aristocracy is invited and welcome to observe the fights.
