Object
Southian Bridge
A steel-and-concrete river span in Southia: multi-lane carriageways, reinforced piers, and approach ramps visible as a discrete coordinate on briefing maps. In the episode it exists primarily as a plotted target on the Pericles One slide—staffers point to its icon, debate its military utility, and treat its destruction as a tangible outcome of the planned proportional strike. The structure reads as functioning civilian infrastructure whose damage would immediately interrupt transit and attract political and press attention.

Significance
Marked as a selected target in the Pericles One strike package; it operates as a concrete focal point for operational planning, media optics concerns, and ethical debate—its naming sharpens the political stakes of retaliation and forces staffers to confront collateral impact.
