The Seven Wonders of Tmere Asia is what it sounds like: remarkable constructions of Segmentum Asia without an fairly equitably comparable counterpart. Unlike more ancient wonders, the Seven Wonders of Segmentum Asia are primarily known for its function rather than beauty.
They are considered the most classical of the big projects that the sentient species have undertaken in Segmentum Asia, as there are later projects that matches their grandeur.

While these wonders are considered the 7 classical wonders of Segmentum Asia, there also other large completed or almost completed projects that could be considered wonders.
Lepides / Astroparapetasma[]
Euxeine, as an Earth-sized satellite of Polysiton which is not tidally locked to Polysiton, is spaced considerably far from its home planet, almost 6 times the distance between Gaia and Selene. While the absolute magnitude of such distance seems small compared to that of Polysiton and its parent star Lampardion, but significant enough to cause signficant temperature changes as its inclination is largely in alignment with Polysiton's orbit around Lampardion. To combat such heat waves, Sematia constructed a vast array of space panels which Sematia dubbed the Lepides (αἱ λεπῐ́δες, lit scales), creating what could be considered an anti-Dyson hemisphere. The panels can absorb the stellar energies of Lampardion, with the added benefit of blocking some of such radiation from heating Euxeine in its "summer season". The stellar screen also has the added benefit of being infrastructure for the later spaceport.
The efficiency of the screen was greatly enhanced by Heliotropa Euxeine, who also spearheaded the Photochalkeion project which harnessed the screen's ability to focus energy and use it for metallurgy at an industrial scale. Heliotropa would dub the Screen the Astroparapetasma instead (αστροπαραπέτασμα, lit star cloak/curtain).
Pandidakterion of Theodosion[]
DUOPENEX[]
Duo Pella Neutrino Experiment is a system of particle accelerators located at both Meizon Pella and Nea Pella of Meizotere Hellas and Polysiton respectively. As a part of the Arche Hellenike's initiative in scientific research, it invited the Eleutheroi to take part in its neutrino project by helping to build Polysiton's first particle accelerator in Pella at what would eventually become the main campus of the Meteora Institute of Aerospace Propulsion. Building such an accelerator was not a problem for the Arche as it already had its share of capital, technology and the team of scientists and engineers to build it. However, pure science was not particularly well established in Polysiton and the DUOPENEX was hailed as a vanguard for advancement of pure science amongst the Eleutheroi. Here the Arche provided assistance and technical guidance to the Eleutheroi's budding talents, including Athena Lancaster.
