Xenthe

Xenthe was the political capital and largest city on the Midian Peninsula of the planet Yronwode. Xenthe was inhabited by the Midians who were descendants of missionaries who had come to Yronwode to minister to the prisoners on the planet (called Xirong) back when the world was a Commonwealth Prison colony. Under a Peace Agreement forced upon them by the aliens known as the Kariad, the Midians retreated to their remote peninsula and built Xenthe as their capital. On its own, it is a remarkable accomplishment given the scarce resources of the Midian peninsula. Most of the city is comparable in sophistication and cleanliness to the cities of the other moderately advanced colonies, with quite an active restaurant and pub scene. It is defended against attacks (which occur almost nightly) by an integrated system of sensors, missile interceptors, and other weaponry.
