Ga-Metru (Metru Nui)

"All was quiet. This was traditionally the most peaceful section of Metru Nui, home to scholars and scientists. Often the only sound that could be heard was the rush of the protodermis falls."

- Narrator, Mystery of Metru Nui

Ga-Metru was the district of Water on the island city of Metru Nui, and the city's spiritual and schooling center. It was also home to the Great Temple, which housed the Toa Suva.

History
Ga-Metru was the second district of Metru Nui to be constructed. Ga-Metru is widely revered as one of the most peaceful Metru, as well as the one the Great Spirit liked the most. It is here that Protodermis is piped in, purified, and sent to the other Metru for use. Ga-Metru is also home to the Great Temple, the most spiritual location on the island, and in many eyes, the second most important landmark on Metru Nui, just after the Coliseum.

Ga-Metru contains many schools and universities, and thusly, many Matoran flock to these schools to obtain a higher knowledge. Most often, Ga-Matoran are the only Matoran who enroll in these schools, although Ko-Matoran have been known to as well, via an exchange program. Each year, many Matoran graduate with degrees in history, language, science, and many others. Visitors to the city are allowed to tour the facilities, watch students in science class, and even sit through a lecture. Listening to lectures is very popular among the Matoran, and especially popular among Ko-Matoran and Onu-Matoran. Due to the high number of participants, many students were unable to receive their first choice of lecture. Also of note in Ga-Metru are the Protodermis Labs. These facilities are dedicated to finding better ways of purifying and using Liquid Protodermis, along with attempting to synthetically recreate Energized Protodermis. Whenever visitors are around the facility, they are allowed to observe the actions, but are forbidden to enter the chamber itself. This is for the safety of all, and was strongly enforced by the Vahki. During the Great Cataclysm, Ga-Metru was destroyed along with the other areas of the city. Roughly one thousand years later, when the Ga-Matoran of Mata Nui returned to Ga-Metru, they began to repair the district. As they worked, several stayed in Po-Metru until their homes were rebuilt. The city was later repaired to its former glory due to the usage of the Staff of Artakha.

Along with the rest of Metru Nui, Ga-Metru was greatly damaged when a fragment of Aqua Magna impacted the Core Processor during Teridax's battle with Mata Nui. The surviving Matoran evacuated the Matoran Universe for the surface of Spherus Magna.
