The Murmansky Military District is the Human Reform League’s northernmost installation in Europe, and directly abuts the edge of their territorial claims on the Karelian Peninsula with Earth Sphere Alliance-controlled Finland on the opposite side.

Though it is the site of a port facility, the bitterly cold Kola Bay is choked with ice half the year, and it is not a major shipping location for this reason (the North Atlantic Current was somewhat retarded by colony drops destroying coastal terrain). The entire city of Murmansk has been transformed into a giant fortification, with most of its emplacements facing to the west. The rocky and often snow-covered terrain around the coast is a virtual field of bunkers, blockhouses and turret positions, with an extensive network of concrete-lined trenches for Tierens to scuffle about and fire from positions of relative safety. Except for a large roadway heading to the southeast, the area is also mined to death, with some particular explosives easily the size of a mobile suit’s torso.

The base’s defenses show the League’s usual total lack of subtlety, with a high perimeter wall festooned with turrets and interlocking rings of smaller replacements radiating further out. Giant rocket batteries are shielded by heavy bunkers and raise up out of their concealed positions on massive hydraulic rams, fed by extensive magazines deep underground. Long-range artillery cannons peek out of blockhouses thick enough to survive hits from beam cannons, and all matters of antiaircraft guns poke out from walls and building tops.
