Situated on the moon Svartheim, COIN built the port to serve as a financial center handling the mass amounts of imports and exports that strengthened the Congress. Its purpose to serve Niflheim evolved into a strategic base during the GHOST wars, serving as the base of the United Nation fleet through several campaigns.

Now the port is reopened, and the settlement grows.
