'''Orchis Tower''' (オルキスタワー) is a 40-story skyscraper located in the north of [[Crossbell City]].
__TOC__
== Background ==
At 250 arge tall with 40 stories, the Orchis Tower is currently the tallest man-made structure in Zemuria. The Orchis Tower serves both as the new City Hall for Crossbell City, replacing the old City Hall in the [[Crossbell City/Administrative District|Administrative District]], and as an international hub and trading center, having facilities for corporate business and conferences as well. The building is said to be stunning at night. The design of exterior of the tower was designed by [[Kendall Architectural Firm|Kendall's Architectural Firm]], run by a resident of Crossbell.

=== Background ===
The tower is still under construction and the site cannot be accessed. The construction site was the location of [[Guy Bannings]]' murder in S.1201.

=== Background ===
Construction was completed on August 30, S.1204. Orchis Tower was unveiled to the public the next day, August 31, S.1204, alongside new mayor [[Dieter Crois]]' assumption of office as well as the start of the [[West Zemuria Trade Conference]], which was held inside. Here, nations from all over western [[Zemuria]] gather to discuss trade and geopolitics. 

The [[Special Support Section]] are enlisted to help provide security for the event on the upper floors. The conference is soon threatened by a joint attack from the [[Imperial Liberation Front]] and anti-immigration terrorists from [[Calvard]] who are after the heads of their respective countries. The SSS, together with the First Division and the Bracer Guild, are able to prevent the terrorists from entering the conference room and give chase down to the Geofront.

However, Chancellor [[Giliath Osborne]] had hired the jaeger corps [[Red Constellation]], and President [[Samuel Rocksmith]] had employed agents from [[Heiyue]] for additional security. While Heiyue merely captured the terrorists, the Red Constellation massacred them, leaving only one alive.

[[Tio Plato]] and [[Jona Sacred]] use the tower to increase Tio's sensory capabilities and scan the state for missing bracers, [[Aeolia]] and [[Lynn]]. 

{{SpoilerSection|Ao}}
Orchis Tower's construction was funded and overseen by the [[Crois Family]], descendents of the original tribe centred around the [[Sept-Terrion]] of Mirage, [[Demiourgos]]. The tower's true purpose is part of an elaborate system and 1000 year plan to recreate a replacement for the lost Sept-Terrion using alchemy.

The tower stands at the center of Crossbell State, and it is connected to the various elemental [[Geofront]] sector beneath the city which were designed to absorb energy from the septium veins in addition of functioning as various utilities the city required such as ventilation, water processing, incineration plants and car parking. The vast amount of energy is channelled through the tower's [[Thaumaturgical Sector]], hidden in the central floors, and broadcast from the top of the tower.

Upon the combined ringing of the three artifact bells located at the [[Sun Fort]], the [[Moon Temple]] and the [[Stargazer's Tower]], all ancient structures created by alchemists of the past, the tower receive energies relating to Space, Mirage, and Time, redirecting them to a fourth point on the 'cross': the Castle of Mirrors in [[Mishelam Wonderland]], where [[KeA Bannings|KeA]], the chosen homunculus vessel, would achieve her true powers and ascend beyond just a replacement Sept-Terrion.

After the SSS reunites and assaults Orchis Tower with the help of their allies, they traverse the Thaumaturgical Sector and face Dieter at the top of the tower. Dieter uses the tower's ability to transfer spiritual energy to teleport himself inside the [[Aion Type-α]], piloting it and fighting the SSS until [[F. Novartis]] disables it, teleporting him out forcefully and taking the Aion with him, as agreed with Mariabell.

Mariabell and the others project themselves to the SSS, as well as [[Ian Grimwood]], the other mastermind of the [[Azure-Zero Project]], which culminates in the creation of the [[Azure Tree]].

<span class"spoiler">It is later revealed that [[Arios MacLaine]] was the one who called Guy to the construction site, where they fought after the latter uncovered most of Grimwood's plot. As Guy was about to convince Arios to come clean, Grimwood shot him in the back, killing him.</span>

== {{g|Sen III}} ==
=== Background ===
With the annexation of Crossbell at the hands of [[Erebonia]], Orchis Tower became Governor General [[Rufus Albarea]]'s seat of power. [[Rean Schwarzer]] and the new [[Class VII]] of [[Thors Branch Campus]] are dispatched to the region on a field exercise to provide extra security for the upcoming Imperial inspection of the region. Dignitaries from Erebonia led by [[Olivert Reise Arnor]], including [[Alfin Reise Arnor]], arrive via the [[Pantagruel]] to oversee the inspection. 

During the first night, the tower is attacked by [[Enforcer]]s of Ouroboros: [[McBurn]] and [[Campanella]]. McBurn sets off an explosion, seemingly setting the Pantagruel's landing craft on fire and alerting the security detail. While the rest of the branch campus protects the inspection team, Rean and [[Sharon Kreuger]] ascend to the rooftop, followed by the new Class VII arriving against their orders. Despite being defeated, they buy enough time for [[Alisa Reinford|Alisa]], [[Machias Regnitz|Machias]] and [[Emma Millstein|Emma]] to arrive, forcing the Enforcers back and dispelling their flames as the rest of the security detail, including Rufus, also make it to the rooftop.

Before leaving, Campanella reveals Rufus' Operation Birdcage to keep the symbols of Crossbell locked in [[Mishelam]] while the inspection happened, making Juna break down, and summons the newly built [[Aion Type-βII]] to completely destroy the landing craft.

== {{g|Sen IV}} ==
=== Background ===
[[Estelle Bright]], [[Joshua Bright]], [[Renne]], [[Lloyd Bannings]], [[Elie MacDowell]] and [[KeA Bannings]] infiltrate Orchis Tower's Thaumaturgical Sector in order to gain information on what happened in Erebonia prior to the great wave of darkness and the beginning of the [[Great Twilight]]. The Core's functions appeared to be disabled but the central terminal is active allowing them to to extract the information after briefly confronting [[Mariabell Crois]], [[Claire Rieveldt]] and [[Black Alberich]]. they are allowed to escape with the information.

The tower is infiltrated for a second time in order to deactivate a barrier generator located on the top of the tower which was protecting the Stella Sanctuary from being accessed for the Rivalries. Class VII and the [[Radiant Wings]] stage a diversionary [[Arc en Ciel]] performance to divert the majority of the protective forces whilst they enter the tower from the base. the remaining [[Imperial Defense Force]] soldiers on duty attempt to apprehend them but rebel Crossbell forces keep them occupied. 

At the top, Rean's group face off against a curse controlled [[Victor S. Arseid]] and [[McBurn]] but are able to overcome them. Victor is freed from the curse and McBurn prepares to unleash his full power, but one of Alberich's [[Leviathan]] units gets in the way. Several members of the [[Vander school|Vander]] family, called by Victor, arrive and destroy it easily, and McBurn retreats giving a glimpse of his true form. As the group reach the rooftop and prepare to destroy the barrier generator, Mariabell appears and states she has no reason to get in their way and teleports away with the generator, leaving the path to the Sanctuary open.

== {{g|Hajimari}} ==
=== Background ===
The [[Special Support Section]] and [[Juna Crawford]] smash their way into the upper floors of the Orchis Tower using a stolen Soldat and proceed to oust the remaining [[Imperial Defense Force]] members of Rufus' personal guard. The guards utilise an [[Asmodyne]] unit, developed from the [[Goliath]] alongside the Leviathan, but it is not enough and they are defeated.

Later on in the operation to retake Crossbell City, the combined allied forces, including [[Rufus Albarea]], confront the [[Simulacrum]] Supreme Leader and the curse controlled [[Ilya Platiere]] at the base of the tower. They are victorious, but the appearance of [[Retributive Tower]] leaves them little room to celebrate. The parties remain at the top of the tower until a path through to Retributive Tower is made available by the arrival of the [[Arseille II]], disguised as the disabled [[Courageous II]].
