The '''New Tyria Credit Union Siege''' was a foiled bank robbery and hostage crisis in [[Tyreseia]] that popularized the term "{{wp|stockholm_syndrome|New Tyria syndrome}}." The event was widely broadcast in real time across radio news, and was one of the first financial institution robberies to gain mass nationwide coverage in Tyreseia. A group of [[Invictism|Invictist]] militants known popularly as the Anchor Gang had raided the vault of the League of Neptune's Credit Union building in central New Tyria in hopes of acquiring banknotes to fund their operations and perform a high-profile act to gain notoriety. The Gang had hoped to use local tellers as hostages and a means for a guaranteed escape back to a safehouse of undetermined location. The attack quickly faltered as elements of the New Tyrian Metropolitan Constabulary and Republican Guard laid siege to the building. The incident gained further infamy through captives refusing to testify against the Anchor Gang or help law enforcement during the siege. Many at the time theorized about a potential manipulative emotional bond that could have formed between captor and hostage during the long siege; such behavior could also be amply explained by simple distrust of law enforcement's cavalier attitude towards the lives and safety of all involved. The siege ultimately ended in a pitched gun battle and storming of the Credit Union building. One captor was killed by gunfire while several Anchor Gang members, hostages, and law enforcement were wounded.
