Water Purification Plant

0 VICTORY POINTS:  Any forces occupying the Water purification plant may use any unnamed location on the map when they place a pin (it does not need to be adjacent to a square occupied by that player). They may not place a pin in a named location. Their troops also benefit from infiltrate rule.

Since 98.3% of Khai-Zhan’s surface is ocean, the water requirements of the populace is easy to meet, although the high salt content of the water requires rigorous purification before it is fit for human consumption.

The vital nature of this facility made it a prime target for the invaders, but its strategic location next to the Arbites precinct made its capture an extremely difficult proposition. The enemies reluctance to flatten the plant with artillery played into the hands of the Arbites, who used the underground pipe system to launch raids behind their lines and throughout the city. Vicious battles were fought as enemy forces attempted to wrest control of the purification plant from the Arbites and provide their soldiers with a readily available source of fresh water, rather than the desalination capsules they were forced to rely on.
