Gibbet Hill

Special Rule:
5 VICTORY POINTS:  If you control the arsenal of laser silos on Gibbet Hill you may use preliminary bombardment in every game you and your allies play.

Situated on an exposed and windswept rocky island to the northeast of the city walls, Gibbet Hill has always had associations with death. Once, convicted murderers were hung by the neck until dead here, but now it is a fortified gun emplacement. When public executions were moved to the more sheltered location of Execution Square by popular demand, the hill was fortified and defence laser silos constructed atop the old detention complex. Gibbet Hill was the scene of fierce fighting due to its elevation above the city. Though only fifteen metres or less above sea level, it provides a vantage point from which even the Imperial palace can be bombarded.
