Tripport

Large city in Damcyan, and one of the largest ports on the Transbaron continent in the Crystal Dimension. Tripport was key to GA logistics during their invasion of Transbaron at the close of the Great War.

Currently occupied by Fabul, and the Fabul government considers the valuable port city one of their true prizes of the Leviathan War. Even as Toroia reduces their presence in Damycan, Fabul is loath to give up the economically valuable city. With its vast harbor facilities dredged and deepened by the GA to serve as their logistic hub in the Great War, Tripport still dwarves any of the ports in Fabul proper. The Fabul government has even gone so far as to "discover" the city's "ancient Xsian" name, Shamokouan ("Desert Port"), but no one really believes this or uses it.

The occupation has forced the once-thriving port city on hard times, becoming a wretched hive of scum and villainy.The Fabulian Triads also have a major presence in the city, notably the Golden Axe Triad, which controls the various opium dens, brothels, and gambling rackets that have proliferated even as legitimate business enterprises have decreased. The city is also host to a very large, very bored Fabul army garrison, which supplies a significant number of customers for the Triads' illicit endeavors.

The city also still has a large GA base, perhaps the largest in Transbaron (though the GA bases in Eblan are the largest in Crystal.)
