City Thirty Three - Terminal Five

Despite being the regional survivalist remnant of Nationalist China after the Civil War with their Communist rivals, Taiwan saw much of their island devastated by natural tectonic events and Xenian overgrowth. By the time of the Seven Hour War's end, Terminal Five was established merely a few months afterwards. It manages the high displacement of Chinese civilians and refugees arriving from Oceania to ensure they are safely relocated to another territory.

That is the official, "kind" story. Like many of the other terminals, its sole role is to divulge the human population to be split apart as much as humanly possible to avoid unifying factors involving them grouping together. This came to an end during the First Uprising where ESIC collaborators attempted to storm the station, nearing success until they were thwarted by Combine reinforcements.

To this day, the Terminal still feels the scars reminiscent of the conflict. However, the zone was later transformed into a permanent City on this side of the world, with Taiwan acting as somewhat secure, still fearing for if confederacy rebels were to strike again.
