Setting
Interregnum: A type B pocket dimension where a copy of Europe and northern Africa is located, location of the central provinces of the United Republic of Orion.

Minseach-Valencia, Interregnum Spain: A seaside city where a military academy is located, it is also the meeting spot of confederate conspirators First Secretary Price and Deputy Vittorio Fox.

Terra Base, Interregnum Spain: The central TDO base in the Interregnum, now a joint military facility where the Gendarmerie has it's own branch building. Lieutenant Colonel Marino and Fenrik Angelo Blanca have their last meeting there.

Earth, Mid Rim: Once a lush planet with vast oceans, Earth is now a dust bowl with few patches of regrowing plantlife after the Decimation of Earth. It is the location where most of the arc takes place, housing the Great Lakes and La Plata regions.

La Plata, Earth: One of the four human colonies on Earth after the newborn incident, currently consisting of the coastal districts of what used to be Argentina. Most of the arc takes places here.

Silberberg, Earth: A seaside town and regional capital of La Plata, it's divided by east and west by a small river that flows through it's center. The various military headquarters of the region are based there, including the Gendarmerie's La Plata Company. Captain Vesna Pavelic, Governor Egon Krenz and the major players of the region are housed there. Both the assassination attempt on Vittorio Fox, the execution of civilians by Tau Squad and the Silberberg Revolution take place in this town.

Torget Boerr, Earth: A small rural town located in the Great Plains of La Plata, south of Silberberg. The once blooming town becomes deserted after an MRC Agent turned all of the town's inhabitants into stone golems, which were then liberated after the agent was killed by Epsilon Squad. Near the rail line to Torget Boerr, there is a house inhabited by a farmer where Epsilon Squad took refuge.

Vinstra, Earth: A slightly larger rural town just west of Silberberg, the town was once the industrial pride of La Plata, but due to the mass emigration from the south from people escaping the MRC's roving division, the place is packed with overpopulation. The town served as the hideout for Metacorps Agent Frank Brett and MRC Agent Kai Kromer, who both fought once meeting up with Fenrik Blanca at a bar. Later, Epsilon Squad would raid both hotel rooms and extract information about the situation at Vinstra.

Usher, Earth: The smallest rural town located north of Silberberg and just a few kilometers off the graveyard of freighters. Ran by a lousy grand army unit, the townspeople have taken to arms to defend their town from the MRC's Northern Unit operating nearby. Usher served as a hideout for the MRC, who used an abandoned manor outside of town as a recon base. Epsilon Squad fought Agent Sergei there, later obtaining the MRC's order of battle.

Graveyard of Freighters, Earth: The northernmost region of La Plata where due to the Earth's gravity most of the debris from Earth's cloud of debris falls, including abondoned starships, a TDO beacon and the MRC's Northern Unit hideout are located there. Epsilon Squad fought and killed MRC agent Sergei in their hideout, forcing the others to flee into the unexplored countryside. The team also discovered intel coming directly from Silberberg to the MRC's freighter base.
