SCA high-altitude territory in the Andes. Altitude-adapted gene-forged units. Lumicite secondary deposits. Controls mountain corridor access routes between SCA lowland territories.
The Andes never stopped being contested — altitude, mineral deposits, and corridor geography made it inevitable. The SCA controls the highland network through altitude-adapted units, some gene-forged for sustained operation above four thousand meters.
Secondary Lumicite deposits run through several Andean geological formations. The SCA knows this. So does everyone else. The NAF and EO both maintain intelligence operations attempting to map deposit concentrations without triggering a direct confrontation with a faction that owns the terrain.
