During our rebellion we will not be releasing 'forts'. Instead, the NFU developer team would like to announce what will be taking place - a new thing called 'Operations'.
Operations are essentially a fort with a twist - they will consist entirely of our current forts, updated, modernized, and with entirely new goals in mind.
Our first operation will be one we're currently developing quickly:
"Operation: The Blackout of Celeste"
The blackout of Celeste will feature a new, expansive map. It will feature a slightly updated Celeste II building, wartorn and designed for combat in the middle of the Frostarian uprising.
The lore behind it is simple - Frostaria is a very tech-based nation. The forces of the New Union are currently being decimated by whatever unmanned technology the Sparrow Corporation could not reclaim. In an effort to limit this, they are going to shut down the power for all of the Aurora province including Solstice City.
The battle takes place shortly after the revolution's victory - Solstice is completely blacked out, though Celeste has regained some power so the uprising could use it.
The loyalist forces, however, responded way faster than expected - the building is not refortified and many of the NFU's supplies were left behind, still not properly relocated to the gained fort.
Fighting will be done in near pitch black darkness, using only flashlights and the headlights of any vehicles to navigate around. Upon reaching the main grounds for the Celeste Mark-II Radio Tower, flashlights can come off - after all, there is light. Upon reclaiming the terminal, however, EVERYTHING blacks out. Forcefield based doors shut off, the jail cells open, teleports go down, and all the lights in the building shut off.
Did I mention names will be hidden? Yeah. Stealth will be a thing.
It will feature the new Martyr line of weapons - an updated mix of 6G and 7G, built entirely with functionality in mind.
Imagine Borealis, but more of a fort and less of a game. That is our goal.
We hope to see you fighting for the glorious new union soon. Until then, standby!
Gloria Insurgentibus! From the ashes comes the new union!

It's called "CJ treated the developers like garbage and they took all their assets and gave them to the new union"

Yup. The only person we don't have on our side from the old Borealis development team is CJ himself. |

Haha, this reminds me of the update packs or whatever Borealis was going to have.
Sounds awesome. |

| Will there be melee weapons since it's stealth oriented? |

@rural
nothing says "stealth" like sneaking behind someone and stabbing them in the throat |
