Geography
The geography of the 'Hydrian Line' has a very interesting. Ranging from deep valleies to high mountain tops. Due to its high alltitudes, snow is able to form and settle on the tops of this mountain chain during the winter. During the warmer months, the snow melts revealing a craggy surface. The geology of the area is also interesting. This area had to recieved almost continious uplifting of the whole area. Igneous and Metamorphic rocks maily make up for this craggy terrain. Small rivers also flow this area, which accounts for the steep valleys.

Operation Hell Bound
Glatistant is an ancient Belkan Fortress on the Ustian border. During the Belkan War it was transformed into a modern base by the Belkan Army.

The Facility makes up the first Belkan Defense Line and due to it's overall firepower and the sheer size of Glatistant, the Allied Forces believed that it may have had Nuclear Weapons deployed somewhere in the facility. The Allied Forces targeted Glatistant because of this and used this title of a Nuclear Inspection to attack Glatistant and open the door to South Belka and kick off offensive operations.

Glatistant is seperated into five main areas. An inital Air Defense Area (Area Gate), a secondary air defense area with a large Control Tower (Area Wall ), a flat area which deploys VTOL Aircraft and has secondary barracks (Area Garden), an incorporated Anti-Air Defense and frontline Troop deployment area (Area Castle) and a final defense line which is made up of two large towers, housing Flak Cannons surrounded by other air defenses.

Along with these main areas, smaller areas were scattered inbetween. This intergrated Air Defense net covered a wide area. To add to it's effectiveness aerial forces, some of which are AV-8B VTOL aircraft stationed at Glatistant's Area Garden, were incorporated as well.

A large force, mostly comprised of Ustian merceneries, attacked it on May 17th, 1995. Despite full cooperation between all of Glatistant the Allied Forces managed to destroy much of the facility, rendering it useless. This Ustian Victory "kicked down Belka's front door" and began the push into the Belkan Border.
