Zakera Ward is one of the five wards of the Citadel. It is dominated by volus, hanar and elcor populations but the human commercial zone Shin Akiba is also located here.
The closest point on the ward to the Presidium is called Presidium Junction, and the farthest one, now facing Earth, is Zakera Point.
