Selatapura (セラタプラ Seratapura)[1] is a coastal city situated on the Gunther Peninsula in southwestern Usea, west of Axel Bay.[2] The city is physically connected to the International Space Elevator by a bridge.

Description

Selatapura is a highly-developed port city, with a large port area and developing residential and business center. The International Space Elevator is built on an island near the city, with a long bridge linking the two together. Selatapura also features a large military presence, including an airfield and naval forces, likely as support for the space elevator.

History

Selatapura experienced hardships during the Second Usean Continental War;[2] its position on the southwest of Usea meant it fell early in Erusea's push across the continent. Selatapura was liberated sometime between July 10 and August 15, 2005, following ISAF's liberation of San Salvacion.[3]

In the 2010s, Selatapura experienced massive economic growth and expansion.[2] The space elevator's construction further spurred on the city's economic success.[4]

The city was the site of at least one major battle during the Osea-Erusea Conflict. Erusean forces seized the space elevator and engaged the international military forces stationed there, sinking a large number of warships.[5]
