Harlov Communications Base is a communications relay facility in Rubicon 3's Central Ice Field region that is operated by the Planetary Closure Administration during the Coral War.
Overview[]
Harlov Communications Base was one of numerous planetside facilities built by the Planetary Closure Administration during the early days of Rubicon 3's quarantine following the Fires of Ibis. Most of these facilities were abandoned after the PCA completed the Closure System, an array of autonomous, weaponized satellites that could more efficiently keep the planet sealed off. During the Coral War, Balam Industries and Arquebus Corporation forces arrived in the Central Ice Field region, which held Watchpoint Alpha and the PCA's Enforcement System mainframe. The PCA considered this too blatant a violation of the Closure Area to ignore and deployed its suppression fleet to re-occupy its old surface facilities and subjugate the corporations. The PCA relied on Harlov Communications Base to coordinate its operations in the Central Ice Field.
Seeking to weaken the PCA's suppression fleet, Arquebus makes plans to destroy five berthed AS07: HEAVY WARSHIPs at Old Bertram Spaceport. The independent mercenary C4-621 "Raven" is hired to assault the spaceport, while V.IV Rusty of the Vespers is tasked with striking Harlov Communications Base to disable PCA communications and prevent reinforcements from reaching the spaceport in time to save the warships. However, Rusty notes that hitting Harlov will only silence PCA comms for a few minutes before they are restored, giving C4-621 a narrow window to finish up at the spaceport. During the mission, Rusty disables Harlov as planned and then speeds to the spaceport to assist C4-621 against a PCA AA18: LIGHT CAVALRY and AA22: HEAVY CAVALRY.
