Ga-MetruMetruIn the Matoran language a metru was a single district of Metru Nui; the city was divided into six such districts, one for each element, and the term covered both the place and the elemental community that lived in it. is one of the six districts of Metru NuiMetru NuiThe city beneath Mata Nui functions as the Great Spirit's brain, housing the Matoran whose labor keeps the god alive., home to the Ga-MatoranGa-MatoranThe Water-element Matoran of Ga-Metru and Ga-Koro, exclusively female, who taught the schools of Metru Nui and crewed the boats and bridges of the Mata Nui coast.. Order in the district was maintained by the BordakhBordakhThe Vahki model assigned to Ga-Metru, the Bordakh patrolled the canals and schools of the academic district and carried Staffs of Loyalty that turned any Matoran they struck into a willing informant against their own friends., the type of Vahki designed and assigned to protect Ga-Metru. The Bordakh were originally designed by Nuparu and manufactured by the Po-Matoran, and most of them were destroyed in the Great Cataclysm when a power surge caused by Teridax overloaded them.

The district is the location of the Great Temple, a structure central to the history of Metru Nui. The Toa Mangai Lhikan broke into the Great Temple in Ga-Metru to retrieve six Toa stones, only to be attacked by the Dark Hunters Nidhiki and Krekka. After escaping, Lhikan distributed the stones to six Matoran across the city's districts.

It was at the Great Temple that the six Matoran, Vakama, Nokama, Nuju, Whenua, Onewa, and Matau, were transformed into the Toa Metru. Following a map on his Toa stone, Vakama journeyed to Ga-Metru, where he met the other five Matoran. They placed their stones in the slots of the Toa Suva and were changed into Toa, after which Vakama received a vision warning that the six Great Disks were needed to stop the Morbuzakh.

Ga-Metru figured into the search for the Great Disks. Nokama set off to find the Ga-Matoran Vhisola in Ga-Metru and learned that the Ga-Metru Great Disk was held at the Great Temple, where she arrived in time to rescue Vhisola from the roof. The district also overlies a portion of the Archives, which extend beneath Ga-Metru.
