Setting
Most structures on Pardus Prime tend to be single or two story flats, being long and wide, so as to evenly distribute the weight over a large area of the generally uncertain ground. Roads and buildings are constantly being refurbished and fortified, and most planet-based transit has to be done via subterranean passageways, where landslides aren't as likely to pose a problem.
It is also a very beautiful planet, which is why the Hegemony ultimately chose Pardus Prime as its seat of power.
