The Harbor

The Dam Harbor is located in the Equatus continent, hidden among the estates and vineyards of the Solaran upper class. It is one of the Solaris VII's many small arenas.[1]

History[edit]

Unknown.

The Arena[edit]

The Arena is really unique because of its geography. The region had been shaped by the Solaris VII last ice age, some ten thousand years before, when a period of intense glaciation sent great masses of ice north from the south pole to scour the landscape. Those glaciers had melted away millennia before, but the land still bore their stamp, great gouges torn out of the landscape as if some long-ago giant had dined on the earth’s flesh.

Just west of the scarred landscape was a shallow inland bay that, despite its name, would've made a terrible harbor. Access to the sea was largely blocked by a series of barrier islands that mirrored the coastline proper, turning The Harbor into a rough circle. And it was too shallow for normal shipping. During low tide (and they were just an hour off low tide now) the Harbor was no more than ten or twelve meters deep at its deepest and considerably shallower elsewhere. Bad for deep draft vessels.[1]

Facilities[edit]

The Harbor was too small an arena to have separate hangars for the opposing 'Mechs, leaving little space for surprises.[1]

Seating[edit]
