Nísos Aigón (Goat Island) also known as Jazireh-ye Abadan (Island of the Coast Guard Station) is an island in the Gulf of Aqaba located a day's sailing distance to the south-west from the port city of Aqaba. Administratively it falls under the governorate of Aqabah and is the site of a significant ICAF garrison having been explored and settled following the Survey of the Nisian Theme conducted in 1664[1]. The island had originally been occupied by Constancia to forestall the arrival of Çerid colonists on an island which would otherwise control access to the port of Aqaba, at that time a sleepy backwater harbour quietly annexed by Constancia during the War of Lost Brothers. The strategic importance of Aqaba and Nísos Aigón with it was transformed by the evacuation and destruction of Vey and the Euranikón Theme during the Second Euran War. The Gulf of Aqaba, a concentration point for a vast reinforcing allied fleet, became the national redoubt of the displaced Constancian nation and the rallying point from whence it subsequently went on to destroy the last vestiges of Iteru. The establishment of a Constancian garrison, joined by an influx of Iteran captives, and a steady stream of displaced Raspurids searching for work, transformed the economic prospects of the island.
