Terminus City is the capital and sole settlement established by the Foundation on the planet Terminus. It was at least partially made from the scuttled slow ship Deliverance.
General Information
Terminus City was established on the planet Terminus in 12,072 Era Imperial, shortly after the arrival of the slow ship Deliverance. The Deliverance was scuttled near the colony site, and used as the basis of raw material for the new settlement. Terminus City is protected by an energy field,[2] which is biometrically coded to only allow members of the Foundation to pass through it.[3]
At the center of the settlement is the Foundation Tower, which also served as an administrative center for the colony. A statue of Hari Seldon also stood near the center of the city.[2]
In 12,102 Era Imperial, Terminus City was attacked by a force of Anacreons and occupied by a military force.[4]
