The Moon Base

Lore & Background

Within its walls, General Zetta oversaw some of his most sinister experiments, utilizing the unique environment of the Moon to test gravity-defying weapons and biological enhancements that would keep humanity in chains for centuries. The base became a fortress where the line between science and sorcery blurred, as the Reich sought to unlock secrets that could ensure their eternal rule. Its existence loomed over the resistance, serving as a constant reminder that no corner of the solar system was safe from the Nazi regime's reach.

In Their Own Story

The silence of space is broken only by the hum of massive engines and the rhythmic clank of magnetic boots on metal grating. B.J. stands at the edge of an observation deck, his breath fogging in the recycled air as he gazes down at the blue marble of Earth, now scarred by the black banners of the New Order. Below, the world burns; above, the moon base waits like a vulture circling its prey. The shadows stretch long across the corridor, hiding the faces of soldiers who have forgotten what it means to be human, their eyes fixed on the horizon of a future that never will be.

The timeline leading to the Moon Base's prominence began with the New Order's decisive victory in World War II, allowing them to divert massive resources toward space exploration and weaponization. This era saw the rise of General Deathshead, whose genius turned theoretical physics into tools of oppression, culminating in the construction of orbital platforms capable of global surveillance and strike capabilities. The base became a focal point during the resistance's desperate campaign to dismantle the Reich's infrastructure. Major battles were fought not just on Earth but in the vacuum of space, where conventional tactics failed against advanced Nazi technology. The conflict highlighted the supernatural elements introduced by Deathshead, including teleportation devices and psychic experiments that defied known laws of physics. Mythos surrounding the base suggests it was more than a military asset; it was a gateway to other dimensions or timelines, hinted at through strange energy readings and unexplained phenomena witnessed by survivors. The eventual assault on the Moon Base marked a turning point in the war, symbolizing the shattering of the New Order's invincibility myth.
