Mountains of the Smaller Continent (Iconia)
Detailed Involvements
Events with rich location context
The mountain basin on the smaller continent is identified by Worf as the concentrated site of residual energy — a localized remnant of advanced technology that likely houses the probe's launcher or control systems.
Sensor‑hotspot: a focal point of humming, latent energy that converts the terrain from archaeological interest to threat locus.
Suspected site of the active Iconian installation and the immediate origin of the probe; scientific interest and tactical priority converge here.
A wound in the landscape that literalizes the planet's dangerous heritage.
Sensor‑locked area requiring remote investigation; direct approach would be hazardous without neutralizing automated defenses.
The mountains of the smaller continent are identified by Worf as the locus of an energy source; sensors tie the projectile's launch to that region, making it a likely origin and tactical focus for understanding the planet's active systems.
Concentrated, humming danger — scanners register anomalous energy amid otherwise dead terrain.
Probable launch site and clue-bearing battleground for future away missions or scanning operations.
A buried source of ancient power that converts archaeological intrigue into immediate peril.
Remote and hazardous; likely inaccessible without special precautions.
