Badlands: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 04:32, 31 December 2023

The Badlandsis a sector located between Dust and Oasis. This sector is the third to be liberated in the story.

Background

From the Guerrilla Handbook:

"The Badlands are a wasteland of harsh terrain and scrap. For whatever reason, the EDF set up their largest outpost here. Most people think they're looking for something out there... add the high concentration of Marauder activity and the sector is an extremely hostile area."

The Badlands are home to the Marauders, descendants of Ultor Scientists from the first Red Faction who appear in large numbers at night. Ruins of Ultor buildings and mines can be found in the sector.

The reason the EDF is so intent on controlling this area is because of the Nano Forge, a powerful piece of Ultor technology that has the ability to create a near infinite supply of nanites, thus tempting the EDF to weaponize it.

The [[Earth Defense Force]] does not like going out there, but still maintains a substantial presence in the region.

 ==Overview==
-The Badlands have little to no civilian population, but also contain the largest EDF outpost on Mars. The Red Faction also have their largest safehouse located to the east among the mountains, which serves as a makeshift central command for them. Throughout the center of the map, there is nothing but barren wasteland,and [[Marauders]].

+* Emergency Response
-==Threats==
+* Catch and Release
-While the EDF obviously has a presence in the area, having their largest outpost located squarely in the middle of the map, another large threat is the Marauders, which seem to be even more concentrated in the barren wastes. The reason being is because they have a large city and temple site located on the opposite side of the irradiated zone.
