Region of Acropolis

White, gentle hills fill the snowy expanses of Acropolis. It is a desolate arctic wasteland juxtaposed by sharp cliff faces and glacial landforms. The winds here blind the uninitiated, but condition those Venezians who already reside here.

As the rivers meander, they power the vast arrays of radio towers and power grids in the Armacham research outpost not far from the marvellous Vanguard temple. With raging currents that go with the endless gales, the HEP system brings renewable energy for the engineers and scientists of Armacham; the overwatch of Venezia Prime’s satellite is an important task that guarantees the planet’s safety, after all.

On land, the unrelenting tundras are desolate and without any form of life. In contrast, the lakes in the corries and rivers are abundant in fish and aquatic life. It is no surprise that food and sustenance for the ATC staffers and Vanguard members are directly imported from the farms and processing plants based in Alianor.

Throughout the year, the Acropolis region barely receives any light from the Amplus Nova star, so the residents here are used to darkness when out exploring. This absence of light contributes to the lacklustre range of flora — mostly fir trees scattered around the warmer sections of the region, like Outpost Blanc and the Vanguard HQ, where the Vanguard members exclusively train.

On account of this, Outpost Blanc is the main gateway from Acropolis to the more populated regions of Venezia Prime. It is in essence a checkpoint, and consists of a large tunneled road that leads to the aforementioned regions. As a result of this, hostile forces tend to deploy here, due to relatively fewer AA guns and military presence than at F.E.A.R. 's other outposts.

It is this very reason that makes Acropolis a vital part of Venezia Prime’s national security. Without the excellent and clandestine facilities here, F.E.A.R.’s space exploration program would be severely stunted. And without the readiness of F.E.A.R. soldiers and Vanguard members alike stationed at Blanc, the other regions would be susceptible to hostile intervention.
