Banjaar

This city will burn. We will leave in in shambles, and then rebuild it from the ground up. The anarchists who call themselves the resistance, and fight against Ciscan unification attemps wish to leave it in the pathetic state it is. They wish to fight progress; but progress can not be stopped. - Grand Admiral Yurei Miroslav

Pre-War Banjaar
Pre-War Banjaar was a miracle of Asarid engineering. The Asari were a nation in pre-Cisca Turius, who lived primarily in the desert outside modern day Banjaar, which was built on the rubble of the old city. It is the largest currently habbited city in Turius, behind the ruins of Uskulyeo for the position of World's largest. It was built between a desert and mountain range, but after Ciscan occupation for slightly less than 50 years, it grew into the mountains. The city is host to a number of bars, and even a casino, located in a refurbished radiation shelter.

The Ciscan Governor lived in a large white manor located at the far end of mainstreet (pictured above). His role was to improve the economy of the city; and to ensure there was no resistance from the citizens of the city. Eventualy as anti-Ciscan movements gained momentum, the governor ordered the military to put the city on lock down, entering martial law. The soldiers began to erradicate any sign of resistance. This outraged the main resistance army located in Ikana, on the coast. Only three days after martial law was enacted, an army of nearly one-hundred blew a hole into the gate, and charged in, taking the city by storm. Cisca reacted by sending a division of Heavy troops to seige the city. This began what would later become the bloodiest battle of the war. For nearly a week afterwards, control of the city shifted between Cisca and the Resistance, untill a great cannon was erected on Pharoan Hill (named after the ancient rulers of the Asari).

The Ciscans retreated back to Meridia to plan their next attack. The resistance celebrated, but their joy would be short lived, as Cisca unveiled their secret weapon, a low orbit ion cannon, by test firing it on Ikana. The resistance's main base of operations, along with the majority of their numbers were exterminated in seconds. The made Banjaar the de facto Resistance base of operations. It has remained under resistance control ever since.
