Zimia was the main city of Salusa Secundus. It was located among hills embroidered with vineyards and olive groves south of a region once inhabited by Buddislamics.
The historical core of the city evolved into the Old Town district which in the later years was reduced to a lower class district, far from the government buildings and the nobles who frequented them, populated by drug addicts and whores.
Zimia was almost destroyed during the Battle of Zimia but it was restored after the attack. During the Butlerian Jihad Zimia was attacked a second time by Omnius.
Zimia contained the Zimia Spaceport and more notably, the Hall of Parliament where the rulers of the League of Nobles and representatives of various worlds gathered.
The Salusan Cultural museum was also an important place, as well as the hilltop Butler estate. After the end of the Butlerian Jihad the Cathedral of Serena was erected.
Outside Zimia there was the City of Introspection.
