St.McCarthy

St.McCarthy was the capital city of both the CORE and North Fenixium, built upon the once impregnable McCarthy Plateau. Located on the coast It was the CORE's last bastion after the Ragnarok strikes in 12 AE. With the Fortification Act passed on 45th of Rise, 1 AE. St.McCarthy became an even bigger fortress than it already was. With all CORE forces based out of it and having the largest CDF, along with a trench surrounding it.

Founding and End War
The city was but a little hamlet when the CORE was founded and was near the bottom of the list for capitols during the formation of the CORE. During the End War St.McCarthy held CIC and Operation: Deliverance was planned from here. This led to the downfall of most DNA nations.

Extinction War
St.McCarthy was one of the few cities to survive E-Day unscathed due to its hard granite base. When the Fortification Act was passed and the city turned a fortress. The city was supported by nearby Faux-Farms all factories in the city were militarized and a trench was built around the city. Many sections of the city were divided into sectors and perimeters with makeshift military bases lining the streets. Due to overpopulation, many citizens lived in shacks and tents on the streets of the city. The city and its surrounding area were safe until twelve years after E-Day during the defense of The Horizon Periphery Defense Barricade. With a large swathe of the human population falling into near extinction levels. When the HPDB finally fell in 13 AE the city and Faux-Farms were in danger from advancing Scaler forces. Thirteen Kharkis after E-Day St.McCarthy stood tall as the last human bastion. It was sank in 13 AE to slow the Scaler advance to null effect.

Geography
