Cocoon

---

A haven for humankind, Cocoon was born of one of the powerful Crystals of Pulse (possibly multiple Crystals). This powerful self-aware Crystal speculated on what the best environment for humankind would be, and in turn, created Cocoon, which remains afloat in the sky high above in the clouds. Cocoon itself is a highly advanced civilization, and looks to be about the size of a fair sized city. As well, Cocoon is still maintain by the Crystal, but it remains unclear of humans existed before the creation of Cocoon or not.

During Final Fantasy XIII, the citizens of Cocoon, and their holy governments greatest fear is those within Cocoon who have been influenced in anyway by Pulse. Any one suspected of this is immediately prosecuted and banished from Cocoon, to Pulse. Cocoon's strengths as a fortress are said to be susceptible to infiltration, which has spread fear within Cocoon of it being blown out of the sky.
