| - New Los Angeles (New LA, NLA; English dub: /ˈnjuː ˈlɔːs ˈæn.dʒl.ᵻs/) is a main location in Xenoblade Chronicles X. It is the Habitat Unit of the White Whale, which detached and crash-landed on the surface of the planet Mira as the latter broke up in the atmosphere. It landed in Primordia region, still surrounded by the crystallized impact gel. It serves as the primary city of Humans living on Mira, and was modeled after the city of Los Angeles on Earth. Originally under construction during the White Whale's interstellar voyage, the hostile alien attack and subsequent crash-landing has left its infrastructure in an unfinished state. The city's four districts are located on raised platforms, with the bottom of the city containing impact gel to break anyone's fall. Though initially only inhabited by humans, many xenoform races later immigrate to the city after allying with NLA's government. A large tower, the BLADE Tower, has a screen that either broadcasts briefings at the tower (usually by Maurice) or displays a percentage (originally 60%, decreases as the game progresses, reaching 5% by Chapter 12).
