ChikatLik served as the main city, or capital, of the planet Ord Cestus. Its designation originated from a X'Tingian term that translated to "the center point". The urban environment was comprised of countless roadways, yet showed minimal air vehicle usage, and its architectural design sought to seamlessly integrate the constructed elements into the naturally occurring volcanic landscape.
Significant places of interest located inside the boundaries of the city encompassed the Cleft Head wake-up house, the Night Shade, Ore Boulevard, in addition to the Grand ChikatLik prison. The geographic location of the metropolis was approximately 300 km to the north of Clandes.
