Xiphias
Xiphias is a city in the +,+ that was key during the spring HCF invasion in supplying allied forces with potions. It is most notably renowned for their rails infrastructure, and relationship with Chanada, DAT, and the Federal Assembly.

History
Xiphias is the aftermath and rebirth of the town of Myraid. Most of the citizens of Xiphias, are former citizens of Myriad, in which they built Xiphias as a 2.0 version of Myriad. The name Xiphias (Xifas) is Greek for swordfish and represents fort Swordfish, which was the main basis of Myriad during 1.0. It is nicknamed 'The Eternal City' because fort Swordfish was there for approximately 1 month after 1.0 was up and running, and stayed until the end of the map. It is still relevant today, due to Xiphias' ability to survive, and establishment a week after the map reset.

Civil Wars
On May 13th, 2014 the city of Xiphias was launched into Civil War. This was in protest of recent events of the Government of Xiphias, which included joining FAGT. There was a fort constructed by rebel forces, in the Xiphias River. The battle for the fort lasted 40 minutes, as the military of Xiphias hammered down on rebel forces. The fort was later destroyed, and the rebels had been defeated. A trial was held on May 17th, 2014, in which the rebels were sentenced to pay reps, and were to be pearled for 7 days. After the 7 days had ended, they were allowed back into society on probation, and exiled from using public facility's such as factories, and mob grinders. 2 weeks passed before they were allowed to use these facility's again.

The second Civil War was between Xiphias and Autrona. Autrona was a town on an island southwest of Xiphias. There were ~6 citizens of Autrona during the warring period. The Civil war happened on August 4th 2014, and ceased on August 12th 2014. The main reason for going to war, was the ideological beliefs of some of the citizens of Autrona. The belief (of the rebels) involved absolute monarchy. The government of Autrona, was a democracy, and voted on warring with the rebels. Although Xiphias City did not par-take in any fighting, the civil war happened on their soil, and they supplied the pro-democracy party, with supplies needed to defeat the rebels. Upon success, the pro-democracy government vaulted the rebels, and eventually collapsed 2 weeks later, from debts owned to Xiphias. Autrona is currently being treated as a protected national area, with burnt tree's and houses still remnant today. One can go to Autrona via the NDZ-Xiphias line, with a junction southbound.
