The refugee camp

Docks: Holding Area is a location on the Citadel Presidium. It is directly below Normandy Dock: Bay D24.

The holding area was formerly reserved for Alliance embassy deliveries. During the Reaper invasion, Councilor Udina issued a Council motion to repurpose the docks into emergency civilian housing, which was unanimously approved. All major races have since contributed funding to the upkeep of the area.

The adjacent sections E24, E26, and E28 have been converted into a refugee camp to help accommodate the influx of people fleeing to the station. Over time, the number of refugees in the docks increases.
