NMS Steampunk Series Vol. 5: Landship Somme. This is a historic site from the Battle of Landship Somme. After a century of peace following the Eloi/Morlock Civil War tensions came to a head when the Morlocks started expanding their domain by invading smaller neighboring regions to enlarge their borders and acquire more resources. After peace talks failed the Eloii had no other choice but to declare war on the aggressive Morlocks. This was the start of the Great Eloi/Morlock War. At first the Eloii were no match for the Morlocks revived war machine. Outmatched and suffering many loses in battle the Eloii devised a new communication technology and sent out a distress signal throughout the Euclid galaxy. Fortunately a Traveller received the call and helped form a alliance of Travellers, Gek, Korvax and Vy’keen and came to the aid of the Eloii. The Battle of Landship Somme saw the first introduction of steam Morlock Landships which became known as tanks, nicknamed Evil Horseshoe Crabs by the Eloii. At first they were unstoppable but when the allied forces arrived they used their combined terrain manipulators to isolate the Landships by eroding the terrain around the Landships pretty much marooning them and they proved to be unaffective weapons. This caused a quick end to the war and peace talks resumed and ended the Great Eloi/Morlock War. Explore the refurbished Landship and see the weaponry and steam powered mechanics. See how the crew lived and operated the Landship. Visit the small memorial. We hope you visit and enjoy your time here.
Notes
Please allow time for base to render in. Also if base icon doesn’t appear when making the first portal jump, try to go back and try again. I’ve found since the Beyond update I have to retry portal jumps when the base icon doesn’t load in. Please leave communications stations at the portal. Enjoy your visit!
