# Phoenixport

**Phoenixport** is a major city on Biesel, on the inner coast of of its continent, Selene, adjacent to Severson’s Rift. It spans the entire Phoenix Peninsula. The city plays an essential role in the planet's sea transportation. Due to this, the Sol Alliance helped with its early development, initiating ambitious building projects with the intent of making Phoenixport a major tourism center. However these projects were abandoned as SolGov's economy started to crash.

Now independent from Sol Alliance, these projects have been once again reinitiated, thanks to big monetary injections from NanoTrasen.

## Phoenixport Districts
The city is informally divided into three parts, named after the three major seaports.
### Meroxiu Dock
Taking up the western part of the Phoenix Peninsula, Meroxiu Dock is the city's **entertaiment** district. Unlike Mendell City's District 7, it focuses on daytime entertainment such as zoos, parks and malls. **Meroxiu Natural Reserve** is the biggest of its kind in the Republic, housing Earthen flora and fauna. The **Biesel State Zoo** is famous for allowing its visitors to interact with docile native Biesellite fauna.
### Viehushi Dock
Taking up the northern part of the Phoenix Peninsula, Viehushi Dock is the city's **fishing** district. It also has a reputation as a quiet, sleepy residential district. Many old Biesellites come here to retire, enjoying Biesel's good weather and Viehushi's quiet streets.
There is an urban legend about a "Viehushi monster" - a gigantic sea-dwelling creature native to Biesel. While these are just rumors, the monster is considered to be Phoenixport's mascot, often featured in memorabilia.
#### Unathi in Viehushi
Viehushi has a large Unathi population - around 7%. With monetary help from Nanotrasen, Biesel officials allowed the local Unathi to open the **Grand Guildhall** - an expansive building where thousands of Unathi have a foothold to operate within The Republic of Biesel. Guildmembers from [[Unathi Guilds]] can house their family in the giant complex, living in their specific guild's section of the Grand Guildhall. Large guilds like the Merchant's Guild have a larger portion of the Grand Guildhall available to them, with more lavish settings and better accommodations. The structure is shaped in a long U-shaped hall, with the poorest or smallest guilds being in the back. In the center of the U structure is an area where ships and shuttles can land, only available to ships with a Guild license.
### Meixamas Dock
Taking up the southern part of the Phoenix Peninsula, Meixamas Dock is the city's **market** district. Being the main port for Mendell City ships, Meixamas is largely considered as the entrance to Phoenixport as a whole. Permanent residence here is sparse. "Traveller's inns" are common and affordable, often staffed by Vaurcae. Varied imports can be found in several of the NT-owned establishments around the dock, as well as souvenirs, artisan crafts and other trinkets, at a price aimed towards tourists.
#### Vaurca in Meixamas
Owing to an agreement between NanoTrasen and the Zo'ra Hive, Athvur and her brood make residence here. Their status as a cheap workforce with practically no downtime, together with the brood's attachment as a whole to human fashions and a dedication to public image has led them to become an incredibly common site in service positions around the district, whether as manual workers or tourist guides and receptionists. Queen Athvur herself makes residence in a complex deep within the dock, considered by many commenters to be a seamless fusion between vaurcesian and human architecture; that is to say, a series of tunnels furnished in the characteristic Phoenixport style. Free tours are offered on the third Saturday of every month, though the innermost passages are barred to the public.
