Sanaman Cibola is a Sanaman base on northern Cibola, established in 1691. The objective of the establishment is twofold: to provide a halfway port for ships going to and from the Sanaman Antarctic Territory, and to provide a base for natural resources exploration. Security and public works are provided by the Foreign Legion, established in 1690 to provide manpower to military and civilian ventures outside Benacia. The Foreign Legion mainly recruits members from the Green and various wayward deserters, expats and vagrants, and is a strictly military organisation, reporting directly to the General Staff of the Sanaman Army. The current Brigadier-in-Chief of the Legion and commander in The Settlement is Alain Pimpolet.

History

The Sanaman Antarctic Territory was established in 1675 after prospectors found large deposits of natural gas in the Antarctic. Over the course of the following 15 years, Asara Eliana in Two Martyrs served as the main connection point for vessels heading to and from the SAT. By 1690, it had become increasingly troublesome to manage transports between the SAT and mainland Sanama, only relying on the port in Asara Eliana. Ayreon's Bay in Waffel Plains was sometimes used as a stopover port, but the Sanaman authorities increasingly felt that relying completely on a foreign power, even a friendly one, was not optimal.

Establishment

Four Independence-class transport docks departed Port Niyi on 13.I.1691 with destination northern Cibola. On 21.I the ships landed close to the northern shore of Cibola and unloaded the legionnaires and equipment, accompanied by prospectors, translators and pathfinders. Construction of the first temporary buildings began immediately.
