Lighthouse

A road to the sky

The space elevator, located in the bay of Günther, is the largest human construction that has never been undertaken by humanity since the construction of Stonehenge, mobilizing thousands of workers every day throughout the Usea continent and the world, this project is largely funded and supported by the Osea Federation and former President and war hero Vincent Harling, the aim of this project, once completed, is not only to provide an in-orbit platform for manned and unmanned space missions but also to distribute, through solar panels that transmit by microwave to ground receptors, almost unlimited clean energy to the entire continent that after the fall of the asteroid Ulysses in 1998, is still affected by the impact of meteors, not to mention the refugee crisis and the continental war that followed a few years later in 2004, which aggravated the damage, already significant on the continent.

The location for the construction of the elevator was not chosen at random, because located at the equator of the planet, it facilitates the launching and maintenance of a space dock, and the crater of one of the impacts serving as a base for its construction which began around 2011, the site is connected by a bridge and a tunnel to the city of Selatapura, a former Erusean city that gained its independence from the defunct Federal Republic after the war under the supervision of the IUN as a free city, which has seen its infrastructure and population evolve and the economy grow for 8 years as a result of the project, and which is expected to continue throughout the construction period and probably even after.

This colossal construction mobilizes thousands of workers from all over the world, architects like the Aurelians who designed the Gaiuss tower, which will in the future be brought back to second place in the highest structure in the world, masons from San Salvacion or Sapin, electricians from North point, plumbers from Bulgurdarest, engineers from all Usea... all work tirelessly to provide a better future for humanity.

Various companies, such as Grunder Industries, Axe & Hammer, MacMillan, are also involved in the project and provide the necessary equipment to create this masterpiece of global engineering, which over the years offers an unbeatable and magical view to the city's inhabitants of this elevator that continues to rise infinitely in the blue sky, towards the skies unknown.

However, if this project aims to help the continent and its citizens, some of the northern Useans countries see in the construction of this elevator, an undesirable intrusion by the Osea federation into the life and politics of the Usea countries and an attempt to take control by the latter, one of the most powerful countries, the Kingdom of Erusea sees with a very negative eye the strong presence of the federation at its borders and the loss of one of its territories.

Given the strategic position and importance of the space elevator in the face of terrorist attacks or not, the IUN made the decision to deploy air, land and sea units provided by different countries to protect the work site and all its employees.

The EMM Marigold, a powerful Kirov-class battle cruiser, is one of them and this is its story.

EMM stand for Emmeria Marina Militare
