Mass Effect 2 Codex Database: Entry Details
Citadel Station: Foundations
Category: Citadel and Galactic Government
Type: Secondary
Installation: Base Installation
The "undersides" of the Wards, between the inhabited superstructures and impenetrable outer hull, are called the Founderations. These dangerous areas are filled with life support systems and power plants. Officially, only the keepers are allowed in the Founderations. In reality, the Foundations are the slums of the Citadel, home to criminals, minorities, transients, and occasional "state-less" exiles. Some stay in the Foundations of their own will. Others end up there when the opportunity they sought in the Citadel do not come.

The station's recycling systems are located in the Founderations. These manufacture a variety of artificial organic pastes that can be eaten for subtenance. They are free and nutritious, but nearly tasteless and of unpleasant texture. Poorer Citadel residents quickly become adept at dressing up this bland fare with sauces and spices, while imported foodstuffs are a popular luxury of the wealthy.
