Minagith (Μιναγισ) is a city in Anatoray. At the beginning of the series, Minagith comes under attack by the Disith. Duke David Mad-thane leads the Mad-thane Fleet in an attempt to defend it. However, the Disith break combat protocol, launching an ambush with a second fleet. When the Guild refuses to intervene, Mad-Thane orders a retreat. The Mad-thane Fleet is successful in withdrawing due to the intervention of the Silvana, but Minagith falls to the Disith. Because of this, some other Anatoray commanders regard Duke Mad-thane as a coward. One such captain is Charles Knowles of the Goliath; hypocritically, the Goliath was the first of the ships at the battle to flee, even before the order to retreat had been given.
