 ===== Architectural Significance =====
-  * **Construction Materials:** Thick basalt blocks from the [[ralar|Ralar]] volcano formed the walls, while a rusted starship hull provided roofing.
+  * **Construction Materials:** A fully improvised structure assembled from stacked cargo containers, salvaged [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]] starship hull segments, reinforced timber beams, and welded steel braces. Container walls bear faded shipping codes, impact dents, and scorch marks from prior use.
   * **Floors:** A single‑level open hall with reinforced flooring to withstand the vibrations of fights and stomping feet.
-  * **Design:** Circular layout centered on a raised 3 × 3 m steel cage with mesh sides; drink counters and betting stands encircled the fighting ring.
+  * **Geothermal Feed Vents:** Insulated steel stacks and vent assemblies integrated into the rear façade, channeling heat and hot water from the [[geothermal_power_plant|Geothermal Power Plant]] to maintain interior temperature
+  * **Air Vents / Heat Recovery Ventilator:** The building's air exchange was managed by a centralized, mechanical ventilation system with a central intake on the exterior of the building.
+  * **Power Supply:** [[quantum_fusion_batteries|Quantum Fusion Battery]]
+  * **Design Purpose:** Pure function over form — fast to assemble, easy to repair, and profitable. The arena was never intended to last, only to endure long enough to keep crowds drinking, betting, and bleeding.
   * **Lighting and Heating:** Illuminated by torches, heating powered by the [[federal_geothermal_power_plant|Geothermal Power Plant]]

-  * **Butler Bot Barkeep:** Polished alloy automaton dispensing kegs of Space Beer, Gravity Grog, and other Space Drinks labels
+  * **Space Drinks Bar Counter:** Styled in [[space_drinks_inc|Space Drinks]] livery. Staffed by a Butler Bot that taps kegs of Space Beer, Gravity Grog, and other Space Drinks Inc. labels.
   * **Gladiator Holding Pens:** A small room behind the bar where indebted fighters waited.
   * **Service Staff Quarters:** Modest rooms where bartenders, bookies, and medics rested between rushes.
