Xandoria used to be a shanty town community in the park in the middle of New Albion, until it was established as an independent colony. It has since been transformed into a bioship known as The Singularity and is now in outer space.

## The Shanty Town

At the beginning of The Broken Cyborg, there was a community established in the large park in the city of New Albion. It had started as a small group of back to nature enthusiasts, and was joined by runaways and disenfranchised young punks joined until it evolved into a various mix of neo futurist hippies, crunchy cyberpunks, and transfuturist modification junkies.

Whatever digital body enhancements that existed under a certain legal radar could be acquired here, and thus amongst the colorful, close knit collection of societal strays were those with the most radical body modifications. Over time, this odd collection had evolved into not just their own neighborhood, but culture and community.

Xander Cale was well known as being a real life mad scientist living in the Shanty Town, and rumors floated around that they were able to provide cutting edge cyber modification and trans human enhancements.

These rumors of Xander's research had reached The Mayor. After The Dwarves gave her a warning that the wheel was turning and a new era was upon the city, The Mayor correctly assumed that Xander was the individual who was going to bring about a massive change to the city. in an effort to stop this from happening, she sent the Blood Red Dogs to eradicate the park.

The Blood Red Dogs descended on the Shanty Town in force and turned the park into a war zone, shooting down the residents with blasters and bullets. The government seized control over the park, and thirty refugees escaped.

The refugees went to The Albinos and The Fairies and recruited them as allies. While spending time with the fairies, Xander had progressed in their understanding of bio-science, allowing the refugees to be bio-altered according to their wishes. They were increasingly disturbed by the effects of staying in the fairy realm, and decided to return to the Shanty Town.

## Xandoria

The warrior cyborg princess Jane led the fantastical, mutated army back to the Shanty Town, and were victorious in reclaiming their home. They established the independent colony of Xandoria, named after Xander, who had gone mad and lost their mind doing research in the fairy realm.

At the beginning of The Lost Fairy, Xandoria had for some time been unresponsive to outside inquiries. Strange and perplexing rumors circulated about bizarre things that were happening inside. The few reports that had emerged made no sense, speaking of indescribable changes occurring to both the denizens and nature itself.

The Xandorians had rather tense relations with The Mayor, and they had told her to go "do things rather shocking and crude" so the Mayor left them alone. The Meme is the leader of Xandoria, and The Mayor approached her to form an alliance against the incoming Cascadian Hellhounds. The Xandorians agreed to join New Albion in fighting against Cascadia, but they continued working on their own project, The Singularity

## The Singularity

The Xandorians had been determined to refurbish physics and biology, using nature, magic, science and technology in order to change into something man has never seen.

The singularity was successful and the experiment Xandoria had committed itself to reached fruition. In the middle of Cascadia's attack on New Albion, Xandoria rose into the air. It had become a bioship, an impossible organic vessel. Flesh, technology and nature were smeared together in indescribable new formations, and people and nature part of the very ship itself. It rose away from the war torn city, up into the sky, and headed into the vast and wondrous cosmos.
