	Coret	6-10
"Prior to the war, the Coret Acquisition Center was a major social hub for all of Taryd's colonists. Since the fighting started, however, the militia is enforcing a strict curfew, and the facility empties out as the sun goes down."
	FacingWorlds	6-10
"The Necris have forced their way into even the most revered of Izanagi landmarks. Their corruption has spread to the Temple of Facing Worlds, and one of its towers is already showing the effects of infection and decay."
	Hydrosis	8-12
"The canals of the Alluvion river are gated by this Axon hydro-facility, which serves as an emergency power backup and Tarydium processing plant. Destroying the plant would put serious stress on Axon energy production, but capturing it would mean diverting those essential resources for Izanagi use."
	LostCause	8-12
"The Necris have not revealed the original purpose of this crumbling structure, nor have they explained why it was decommissioned. It stands on the cliffs of Absalom as a monument to history, a living link to the Necris ancestors."
	Morbid	6-10
"Morbias Station Gamma is a transport hub that services overflow traffic passing through Taryd's jumpgates. The Station offers a terrestrial shuttle, storage facilities (with quarantine services for live cargo), and a social center where guests can meet incoming visitors or hold private meetings in a neutral setting."
	Nanoblack	8-12
"Giant vats of nanoblack are processed and stored in facilities like this one across Omicron. The structures are largely self-sustaining once operational, and are upheld with much reverence by those who respect the power and significance of the Nanoblack seething within. Public access is highly restricted."
	OmicronDawn	8-10
"This Jumpgate was originally set up by the N.E.G. in an attempt to encourage trade relations with the people of the Omicron sector. Trade negotiations eventually fell apart, and the Necris took control of the orbital station, retrofitting it with nanoblack couplings and architecture."
	Reflection	6-8
"Surrounded by tranquil waterfalls and traditional architecture, these grounds are known as the Reflection Gardens. They're buried deep in the heart of downtown Tokaido, where people can retreat to a place of quiet meditation amidst the bustle of a popular mining colony."
	Searchlight	8-12
"The lighthouse serves as a beacon to this remote island, thought to be the ancient home of the Necris Prophet. The spiritual components of the Necris conversion are greatly misunderstood, and their power is vastly underestimated. Those who are willing to face the impact of their conversion often come to religious centers like this one to meditate."
	Shaft	10-12
"The substrata mines of Taryd produced over 800 gigatons of Tarydium last year alone. Production never stops here, not even for war, and mining drones will remain operational even as chaos erupts around them."
	Strident	6-10
"The Strident has always been a mystery to the flesh and blood humans that work on the surface of Hyperion. These subterranean chambers appear to be the central focus of the mainframe that controls all Liandri operations on Taryd."
	Vertebrae	10-12
"The broken strata and organic growth of these ruins mark the untold history of the Necris rise to power on Omicron. Just like the Prophet's philosophies during the Great Awakening, the Necris nanotech first spread out to cover existing architecture, and then used it as a foundation upon which to form its own."

	Arsenal	4-12	—
"The Arsenal is a former Liandri munitions plant whose remote location was intended to reduce collateral damage in case of an accident. As Hyperion expanded and modern plants came into operation, the Arsenal fell on hard times. All human colonists were pulled from the plant over a decade ago, and all robotics about a year later."
	BioHazard	2-4	—
"No one is quite sure how many hidden facilities the Axon actually have buried in the Onyx snow. This one was discovered when an Izanagi expedition noted trace amounts of Tarydium during a survey operation. Investigation revealed this storage facility where the Axon had been stockpiling massive amounts of Tarydium reserves."
	CarbonFire	4-8	—
"Work days on Taryd are notoriously long and difficult, leaving little time for the mundane chores of day-to-day life. As an incentive to potential colonists, the Liandri Corp. offers a complimentary Mark I domestic robot to each family that moves to Taryd. The Carbonfire production facility even offers daily tours and incentives to first time customers."
	DarkMatch	5-10	—
"In preparation for the assault on Oxida Nova, Izanagi bombers targeted supply lines and other sites of important infrastructure. This power station was one of the first to be hit, and is now left to defend itself while running only on auxiliary reserves. Attack forces have moved in, and the facility's lights haven't even been restored."
	Deck	4-8	—
"One unfortunate drawback to Tarydium is the large volume of toxic bio-waste that is created during the processing of raw ore. On Taryd, the bulk of this waste is sent to the Decks, an Axon-run storage and disposal facility on the outskirts of Oxida Nova. It is not recommended that you enter the building without a complete set of protective gear."
	Defiance	4-8	—
"Downtown Oxida Nova is a busy hub for Axon colonists. The area is surrounded by tall buildings, including the central rail station, employment offices, and shopping centers that are designed to resemble those back home on Earth."
	Deimos	6-10	Energy Turret
"Izanagi's Orbital Jumpgate technology forever changed the face of interstellar life. Now, the constant traffic of trade, transport, and vacationing tourists requires the support of small orbital stations, such as this one, on the leading edge of every Jumpgate throughout the galaxy."
	Diesel	2-6	—
"Several maintenance facilities just like this one are required in order to keep a city running smoothly, especially a city the size of Oxida Nova. The Iron Guard have commissioned this particular structure as their own little playground, and use it to test out new Axon tech, like advanced weapons and upgraded respawners."
	EdenInc	3-9	—
"This industrial complex was once a hydroponic research facility focused on saving rare and endangered species. When their grant ran out, funds dried up and all work was suspended. Months later, demo crews moved in to pave the path for a new highway and found that many of the research seedlings had taken root and continued to grow."
	Fearless	2-6	—
"The secretive Phayder corporation has begun researching new applications of their nanoblack technologies. Some research has made significant progress, particularly in the field of battle armor and personal protection. Vaults such as this one serve as a testament to the dedicated research of this groundbreaking technology."
	Gateway	6-10	—
"The Liandri Corporation has been working for years to perfect the portal technology used in the Tournaments. They're hoping to increase teleporter distances, and make the system useful on a global scale. This working prototype has portals that can instantly move personnel and equipment to any pre-programmed location on Taryd."
	HeatRay	4-8	Darkwalker
"As Liandri operations on Taryd became more and more automated, the surface sectors of Hyperion were neglected and never received the technological upgrades available to the upper strata of the city. This maze of ground level buildings is now the slums of Taryd, still inhabited by the humans that maintain the largely automated Liandri workforce."
	KBarge	2-8	—
"Continuing their long tradition of expertly crafted sea vessels, Koos Shipping now offers barge services across all of Taryd's oceans and waterways. While the prices are exorbitant, they're the only line that guarantees that your shipment will arrive on time and undamaged, even when shipping lanes take them across the frozen polar regions."
	Morbias	2-8	—
"The Morbias Station is a transport hub that focuses all traffic passing through Taryd's jumpgates. The Station offers a terrestrial shuttle, storage facilities (with quarantine services for live cargo), and a social center where guests can meet incoming visitors or hold private meetings in a neutral setting."
	OceanRelic	4-8	—
"This ancient structure was discovered in the depths of an ocean rift 53 miles off the southern coast of Absalom. While the planet's seemingly endless supply of sentient Nanoblack has kept the facility active, its origins and ultimate purpose remain a mystery."
	RisingSun	2-4	—
"The legendary Samurai of Earth's Lotus Guard used to train within the walls of the Imperial Palace. This small section of the Kimpu Market District was built to mirror those courtyards, and now serves as the entrance to the Ghost Legion training grounds."
	Sanctuary	4-8	—
"The Isle of Babel is a religious sanctuary for the Necris, a place where they can commune with the very essence of their being, and create a personal connection to the nanoblack coursing through their veins."
	Sentinel	2-4	—
"This riverfront structure commands an impressive view of the Absalom skyline, and the Touched gather nearby to commune with the Prophet. There is a direct connection to the sublevels of Old Absalom here, and its endless supply of nanoblack. The architecture is constantly growing and transforming, rebuilding itself to an unknown purpose."
	ShangriLa	6-10	—
"The springtime blossoms of the Shangri La sector are universally renowned for their beauty and serenity. But the district sits along the northern shore of Tokaido, and the locals are forced to retreat into the sweltering heat of the underground mines to avoid the fierce cold snaps that leave the grounds largely abandoned during winter months."
	Turbine	2-7	—
"Axon Research Corporation has many geothermal power stations just like this scattered across the northern reaches of Taryd. They form a tight grid that supplies power to the research facilities and military installations common to the area."

	Containment	8-12	Flying (Axon) (Necris)
	Containment SP	6-10	Flying (Axon) (Necris)
"Little is known about this remote facility other than it is maintained by the Liandri Corp. Satellite images show some sort of cage in the center and Intel believes it holds a recovered Darkwalker vehicle. The Liandri have always wanted access to Necris technology, and this could be their chance to make some advancements in nanotech research."
	Corruption	8-12	Land (Axon) (Necris)
"The Mitzushi Gardens were once a quiet retreat for the Tokaido citizenry, a tranquil place designed to help focus the senses and relax the mind. But this peaceful climate changed when the Necris invaded. Dark seemingly sentient clouds hover in the air, nanoblack poisons the water, and strange tentacles are actually growing out of the buildings."
	Kargo	8-12	Land (Axon)
"The harbors of the Alluvion River are the primary entry points for colonial supply lines. These shipping lanes are shared by all factions, and monitored by an N.E.G. peacekeeping force. This port is a highly contested supply point on the edge of Axon territory, with the Izanagi mainland just across the bay."
	Necropolis	8-12	Land (Necris)
"Absalom is the capital city on Omicron. It also serves as the center of religious faith for the Necris. Despite a very shallow pretense to the contrary, the Necris have slowly taken over control of the government, and it is predicted that within the next century every living soul on Omicron will have undergone the Necris conversion."
	Rails	10-14	Land (Axon)
"Even areas of new construction can be exploited as weak points in Oxida Nova's defenses, so the Iron Guard has established a series of mobile turrets to patrol the perimeter of this worksite. With several city blocks of terrain to cover, including an access point through the city's canal system, protecting this site will be a challenge to even the most experienced of teams."
	Sandstorm	8-12	Flying (Necris)
"The nomadic peoples of the Acidus Desert used to consider these lands an oasis. After the Great Awakening, Necris moved into the region and began to convert the area and its people. It now sits abandoned, the landscape forever changed."
	Stranded	8-12	Land (Axon)
"Civilian contractors are often used to reliably transport supplies and equipment over short distances on Taryd, but when this cargo ship full of Axon supplies ran aground in Izanagi territory, a military unit was quickly dispatched to defend the area until a full extraction team could be assembled."
	Suspense	8-12	Flying (Axon)
	Suspense Necris	8-12	Flying (Axon) (Necris)
"Suspense is the only bridge across the Alluvion strong enough to support the weight of heavy combat vehicles. Without the bridge, it would take Axon forces several days to respond to any battles across of the river. As such, it is always under guard by an Axon mechanized division, with military checkpoints at each end."

	Avalanche (Two Fronts)	8-12 (asymmetric)	Land (Axon) (Necris)
"Necris troops flood down to Taryd every day through a massive Orbital Jumpgate. They've begun the process of terraforming the once barren lands of northern Taryd into a Necris stronghold. Strange structures are literally growing out of the snow, and nanoblack is pouring down from orbit to infect and change the landscape."
	ColdHarbor	10-14	Flying (Axon)
"Axon's Stealth Research Division managed to get some of the early specs for the Necris Nightshade vehicle and have been attempting to retrofit that technology onto their own. The Necris have moved to stop this research, and despite the blockade that sealed the harbor when the NEG enforced the armistice, they have maintained a foothold here and are fervently working to destroy all remaining Axon research."
	Confrontation	10-16	Flying (Axon)
"Confrontation Canyon serves as a training ground for Axon forces, improving unit readiness by providing highly realistic, stressful training across the full spectrum of infantry and mechanized conflict. It is the premiere facility for heavy armor training, and all forces must complete courses here before assignment to a Leviathan unit."
	Downtown (Two Fronts)	8-14	Land (Axon)
"With the blockade on the Alluvion River, the warehouse district of Oxida Nova has been plunged into chaos. The storage facilities located there are the only remaining supply points available to Axon forces, and they've enforced martial law to ensure that their supplies remain unthreatened."
	Downtown Necris	8-14	Land (Axon) (Necris)
"The Necris are invading territories throughout Taryd, infecting conquered areas with Nanoblack to terraform them to suit their own needs. You must push back the Necris forces and restore order to this sector."
	Dusk (Free Mine)	8-12	Flying (Axon)
"Izanagi satellites only recently discovered this secretive distribution facility. Analysis of satellite images tells us that the facility is fully automated, and connected to a Liandri mining operation several levels below ground. Raw ore is transported to the surface where it's packaged and moved off for processing."
	Floodgate	8-12	Land (Necris)
"The Necris don't build new cities, they grow them out of, on top of, and often directly through existing architecture. The deepest sublevels of Old Absalom are dank and corrupted, held together only by the intricate network of infection tubes that pump nanoblack through the walls like a circulatory system."
	Hostile	10-16	Land (Axon) (Necris)
"Many research vessels were lost in the early days of Na Pali exploration. When the terrain or local fauna proved to be too dangerous for recovery, equipment was often abandoned and forgotten. But when it was learned that the Necris had moved in to recover this equipment for their own purposes, the NEG dispatched military salvage units to reclaim their property."
	Islander	8-12	Flying (Axon)
	Islander Necris	8-12	Flying (Axon) (Necris)
"Liandri planners wanted an isolated communication station that wouldn't have to filter out background noise and interference from civilian signals. The islands of the northern archipelago met their communication needs but the limited space didn't allow for extensive defensive capabilities."
	MarketDistrict	6-10	Energy Turrets
"Life in Tokaido relies heavily on the infrastructure of the Kimpu Market District. People purchase food there, shop, gather for social occasions, and even buy their fuel in this one centralized location. In a surprise move, a terrorist cell has invaded the Market, scared off the locals, and shut down all business in and out of the district."
	OnyxCoast	8-12	Flying (Axon) (Necris)
"The biting cold and fierce wind of northern Taryd has transformed the landscape into a freezing wasteland, but the Axon have turned the sharp obsidian talons and sub-zero temperatures of this region to their advantage. They've established several military installations along the coast that can be used for training and storage purposes."
	PowerSurge	8-12	Land (Axon)
"Located a half-mile below the planet's surface, the Dusk mine was established by Liandri scientists in an experiment to test self-sufficient Automaton management of resources. The overloaded systems often release a huge powersurge that vents up to the surface in order to protect the volatile Tarydium stockpiles below."
	Serenity	8-12 (asymmetric)	Land (Axon)
	Serenity Necris	8-12	Land (Axon) (Necris)
"There's a small Tarydium mine buried deep in the trees of this old forest. While it's not large enough to be a major source of income for the Axon, they have been known to use it as a supply depot and refueling center for their shipping convoys."
	Sinkhole	6-10	Land (Axon)
"These underground tunnels were discovered when Izanagi assessment teams first started their geological survey of Taryd, and they were used to house munitions and supplies for the first wave of colonists. As the surface cities expanded, the caverns were forgotten until large sink holes started to form, destroying large portions of the city above."
	TankCrossing	8-10	Land (Axon)
"This area serves as the demilitarized buffer zone between the Axon and Izanagi Corporations. Because the bridges along this narrow strip of land are the only roads that connect the two territories, the isthmus is considered a key military objective that must be controlled."
	Torlan (Classic) (Short) (Double Prime)	8-12	Flying (Axon)
	Torlan Leviathan	8-12	Land (Axon) (Necris)
	Torlan Necris	8-12	Flying (Axon) (Necris)
"Thanks to stringent monitoring by the New Earth Government, all three Corporations have used the fields of the Torlan Delta to power their combined mining efforts. But with the recent threat of full scale war, N.E.G. forces have pulled out, and everyone is scrambling to take control of this valuable territory."
