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 Anacreon forces and occupied by a military force. At that time Salvor Hardin served as its Warden.[4] It was soon liberated with the help from Thespin lancers[5] and, after the projection of Hari Seldon exposed Cleon2 involvement in the murder of the Anacreon's Great Huntress, an alliance was forged between Anacreon,[6] Thespis and the Foundation, with Terminus City acting as its capital.[7]
In 12,240 Era Imperial Terminus City was destroyed (along with the entire world of Terminus) on Cleon17 orders.[8]
