Malosa is a Mayor town in northeastern Zeta on the New World founded and owned by ArizTrad. Malosa sits on the Qamar Sea, with Celina as its nearest neighbor.
Malosa draws inspiration from the architecture of Malta and Miami. The city has a tram system that acts as the main transit method to get around Malosa, as most motorized vehicles are banned from the streets.
History and development
Malosa was founded on February 29, 2020, the day the Zeta expansion opened. It was originally planned to be a strictly Maltese-themed town, with few skyscrapers and quaint streets. ArizTrad built a sample street in his lab.
However, once the City Hall, surrounding square, and first block were built, ArizTrad wanted the town to be more urbanized. As a result, he put skyscrapers on top of each block so two different styles could be combined to create a unique atmosphere.
The Malosa Ferry Terminal was built in early May 2020 to accommodate three Hummingbird Boat Lines boats.
In March 2021, the Buttigieg Resort on St. Stephen Island was completed. In October 2021, the St. Stephen Mall was also built. The theater was also started but has yet to be completed. At the end of 2021, the Il-Kara Basilica was built.
In March 2022, work began on the University of Malosa. On October 25, 2023, the Malosa Science Centre was constructed, which features the Sun in the MRT Solar System.
Geography
Malosa is situated on the shores of the Qamar Sea, between the cities of Celina and Turtle City. The city's natural harbor lies inside a bay formed by a jutting peninsula of St. Stephen Island, which is separated from the mainland by a narrow channel. To the north is a plateau, upon which the village of Il-Kara sits.
Neighborhoods
Condo District
Malosa's Condo District surrounds City Hall. Tall, modern condo buildings make up the skyline of the Condo District. These condo buildings were built on top of the previous traditional sandstone shop and apartment blocks. The Rail North station can be found at the northern edge of the Condo District, at the foot of the plateau.
Il-Kara
Il-Kara is an incorporated village on top of a plateau north of the Condo District. It has narrow, winding streets and small, traditional buildings clustered together. The Il-Kara Chapel, a grand Catholic church with stained glass windows and a massive dome, is located in the neighborhood. The chapel was modeled after the Mosta Rotunda in Malta. Behind the chapel will be the Il-Kara Graveyard, a quiet garden that will house the dead. A cable car service exists from Rampart North to Il-Kara. The village is partly inspired by the buildings on Koroturaga.
Rampart Beach
Rampart Beach is the main beach in Malosa, made up of the North and South Beach. The beaches form a small bay where Malosa's port is. The Coast shopping centre on the North Beach has casual shopping and dining, while the South Beach has more upscale buildings. An underwater pedestrian tunnel is planned between the North and South Beaches.
St. Stephen Island
St. Stephen Island is a medium-sized island that houses Rampart South. The island has two main attractions: The Buttigieg Resort and the St. Stephen Mall. The Buttigieg Resort is directly on the ocean and has a large pool with a bar, an upscale seafood restaurant named Pirhana, a relaxation area, and a private section of Rampart Beach. The St. Stephen Mall has stores that sell designer clothing, jewelry, and more. St. Stephen Island also has beaches that will be home to a lighthouse in the future.
University of Malosa
The University of Malosa is a large university district to the south of the Condo District. The university has a student union and a student services building, which houses a bookstore and dining hall.
Malosa Destiny Theatre
Malosa Destiny Theatre will be a large theatre southeast of the city centre. The design is based on the National Veterans Memorial and Museum in Columbus, Ohio. The theatre is in construction as of May 2023.
Transit
The main ways of intracity transit in Malosa are walking, biking, and the tram. Motor vehicles, apart from emergency services, are banned from most of Malosa's streets. As of 2023, Hummingbird Boat Lines and RailNorth are the only forms of intercity transit. In the future, the Transit League hopes to construct more air and train facilities.
Malosa Transit League Tram
The Malosa Transit League Tram has three stops:
- Rampart North
- Ferry Terminal
- St. Stephen Island
Hummingbird Boat Lines
Malosa is served by three Hummingbird Boat Lines lines.
- 33 Bouvardia Line - Biwabik, Celina, New Mackinaw
- 42 Moonflower Line - Marisol, Moramoa, MRT Marina
- 49 Magnolia Line - Itokani, Kanto, Sand
RailNorth
For intercity rail transit, Malosa only houses the RailNorth One that travels to Tulipsburg.
Culture
Malosa has a rich art presence. The League of Malosa has long been a sponsor of artists. An example is "A Tribute to Bounty", a fountain in front of City Hall depicting a figure that stands stoically overlooking the bay, holding endlessly flowing gold jugs. "Feminine" is an abstract sculpture on St. Stephen Island that resembles a female form, with a hole in the centre. The League of Religion also sponsored the Il-Kara chapel and its stained glass windows, before the League was abolished.
