Outer Colonies / Reclaimation / Revolution
The Outer Colony of Geminus City is unevacuated and remains a defendable location for UNSC forces due to it's relative concealment from Covenant forces. A Corvette, the UNSC Bertels has been deployed by the UNSC to defend Geminus and more importantly VT9 from Covenant and Insurrection forces.
Outer Colonies
Population Locked : 15 Players
The Outer Colonies gamemode includes all three factions, with the UNSC spawning on their base, Cassius Station, the Insurrection spawning on their base in Geminus and the Covenant spawning on their ship.
Outer Colonies allows all three factions to work towards their objectives, with a few important objectives (The destruction of planets, bases and ships) acting as contributors to round-end.
Due to the existance of the UNSC's combination Orbital MAC and sector base, first contact with Covenant forces tends to be around VT9, with further combat at Geminus if the UNSC retreat and are able to recover. The Insurrection is often allowed to thrive during this time as the UNSC is disorganised and fighting on two fronts.
Defense of Cassius Station and VT9 is highly important for the UNSC as Cassius Station acts as their spawn point and VT9 hold a navigation chip and the co-ordinates to Geminus City, allowing the Covenant to find it.
Reclaimation
Reclaimation has no population lock, however, it only includes the Covenant and UNSC forces. During reclaimation, the main fighting and first contact with covenant forces is at VT9.
Revolution
Revolution has no population lock. It focuses on the conflict between the UNSC and the entrenched Insurrection forces within the civilian centre of Geminus City
