Tyrest is a neutral city of scientific advancement and applied sciences, anything relating to new breakthroughs in technology likely originated from this city-state on Cybertron. Strictly neutral, shenanigans are not allowed within the city walls and is routinely inspected and guarded by Vanguard-Class Cybertronians (think big mechs). The city itself is ruled by a Sci-Counsel, but has been known to promote one of their number to Sci-Chancellor when the city needs a voice to be heard.. or to hand down decrees.
