Half Life 2: Dominion

The Frontier spans the alpine region south of the Wastes, its dense conifer forests and clear streams offering natural cover from Combine surveillance. This rugged terrain of steep valleys and rocky ridges shelters the largest resistance presence outside the cities. Beneath an old logging facility lies the resistance’s regional HQ, outfitted with salvaged Combine tech and linked to outposts via secure radio relays. Repurposed warehouses act as supply hubs and vehicle depots, while bridge houses guard key mountain passes. Scattered settlements host native survivors and escaped citizens, living off hunting and small-scale farming. Resistance scouts run complex warning systems to detect incursions from the Wastes or City 14. Though occasional aerial sweeps occur, the terrain and electromagnetic interference from the mountains shield this last stronghold of organized resistance.
