Halden Bay Depot

HALCYON's northern fjord port, shipping two prototype autonomous carriers to the front. VRG means to steal both.

Halden Bay Depot in game — In game, from 25 m above the bunker slope, looking north to the container terminal and the quay. Today's build on a local test server on Harbor (never the live one), no HUD. Maps 1000–1003 from main; 1004–1006 from the maps branch. The per-map skies and grades of LORE.md are not in main yet (they are on the looks2 branch), so every map still wears the same warm sky.

Halden Bay Depot overview: objectives lettered as on the HUD, spawns, lanes, scale — Overview drawn from the map file: objectives as the HUD letters them, spawn camps, attack axes and vehicle lanes, landmark names, scale bar (tools/lore-maps.mjs).

Size tier: MEDIUM: 2 sectors, 128 players (64 v 64), 1090.65 × 742.5 m.
Modes: Acquisition.
Region and climate: a fjord port on HALCYON's northern coast: a harbour terminal in the west and a pier depot in the east, split by a wooded ridge and a marsh. Cold temperate maritime.
Time and weather: midday after rain. Broken cloud, a brighter sun from over the bay (about 30°, from the north-west), sea-grey haze, damp mud flats, wet concrete by the water.
Holds / attacks: HALCYON holds it, on home ground; VRG attacks from the south.
Why it matters: the two vehicles are HX-7 Heron autonomous carriers, HALCYON's newest prototypes, with their control cores aboard. VRG cannot build their like; it can steal them.
Vehicles: the two Herons (hack, escort, extract), two trucks per side per sector, the attackers' APCs. MEDIUM tier plan: an APC per platoon, a mobile AA, AT emplacements at captured zones, an armoured truck per sector; a water map, so RHIBs.
Palette and sky: sea grey-green #5E6E68, wet concrete #8A8D8A, crane rust #9A4A2F, pale timber #B9A88A, HALCYON container white #D8DCE2, sea haze #99A8B8. Sky: broken cloud (wasteland_clouds_puresky).
Soundscape: halyards clinking, gulls, waves under the pier, crane motors whining, container doors booming, a foghorn, ship generators humming, rain dripping off eaves.
Music: MAP-1003 "Cold Harbour", 112 BPM, a heist under grey skies: HALCYON's glassy pulse chased by VRG's drums.

Landmarks

Objective (HUD)	Landmark	What it is
V1	Container Terminal	Heron 1 waits in the open east yard of the container terminal by the quay cranes (500, 612).
V2	Pier Apron	Heron 2 waits where the road comes onto the depot pier (659, 519).
X1	Ferry Road	Extraction 1: where the west road leaves the map (44, 6), at the end of escort route R1.
X2	Causeway Road	Extraction 2: where the paved road leaves the map (777, 6), past the raised causeway over the marsh (route R2).
–	The Bunker Slope	West: four concrete emplacements on the slope below the terminal. East: the bunkers astride the paved road and at the walled yard.

Lanes and where the fights happen

West (sector 1): the attackers come up from the south-west, through the bunker slope to the terminal. The escort (R1) then runs back along the quay apron and down the long west road: every bend is an ambush.
East (sector 2): up the paved road past the bunkers astride it and the ruined walled yard, over the creek bridge to the pier. The escort (R2) crosses the causeway: open, raised, nowhere to hide.
The ridge and the marsh split the halves; flanking between them is slow, so each half is its own fight.
