Cipritine is the capital city of Palaven. Founded in 1208 BCE by the turian hero Agrius Albupanus, Cipritine was the capital of the Aemilonian Hierarchy, the most powerful turian nation on the planet during the Age of Empires. After the Unification of Palaven, it became the capital city of the Turian Empire, and later the Turian Hierarchy after the Unification War. It suffered heavy damage during the Reaper War, but was later rebuilt: the city was occupied by the Galactic Dominion following the Hierarchy's collapse in 2214 CE, with a puppet government installed in its place until 2218 CE following the Cipritine Uprising, where the city was heavily bombarded by the Dominion, and control of the planet transferred to the Krogan Confederacy. The city wouldn't see sovereignty again until 2253 CE, where it became the capital of the Neo-Turian Empire.
