The Centropolis of Nede.

The Centropolis of Nede, also known as Central City, is the capital in Energy Nede.

Story

Star Ocean: The Second Story/Second Evolution

The Centropolis on the world map.

The Centropolis is the second area on Energy Nede visited by Claude C. Kenny, Rena Lanford and their companions after leaving the Outer Garden Paradise. They reach Centropolis via a teleporter located within the Gardens, which takes them to the office of Nall, the mayor of Centropolis and an effective ruler of Energy Nede. There he speaks with them about the Ten Wise Men and how due to their alien powers and Rena's old Nedian powers that they are the only ones that can help in defeating the Ten Wise Men once and for all. He then sends them to North City in order to obtain a Psynard, a protected, dieing species of Symbological flying creatures.

Returning with a Psynard, Nall informs the party that they must now visit the Four Symbological Fields of Nede, in order to discover the true essence of Symbology and hone their skills for the war with the Ten Wise Men. After the party explores and conquers the Four Fields, Nall escorts the party to the headqaurters of the Nede Defense Force , a former aquarium turned military fort called L'Aqua, to prepare an assault on Phynal, the city which has become the Ten Wise Men's base of operations. After the initial strike ends in failure, the party retreats to the Centropolis again, where Nall plans to use the forbidden research of the Symbological Weapons Laboratory against the Wise Men. In order to accomplish this, the party heads for the Nedian weapons manufacturing city of Armlock, where they unlock the sealed direct transporter to the Symbological Weapons Laboratory, which is located on a distant planet shrouded in a space-time displacement shield.

Ultimately, the Centropolis is destroyed along with all of Nede due to the effect of the Symbol of Annihilation destructive forces being unleashed within in the energy shield protecting Energy Nede, but not before the altered symbol utilized the energies of Centropolis and the other Nedian cities to pull the planet Expel through time from the moment prior to its destructive collision with Energy Nede into the current space-time continuum and transporting the party back to Expel from the crumbling artificial planetoid.
