Vostok Radar Station

Vostok Radar Station (East Radar Station), or Radar, is a location that appears in Survarium.

Overview
It is an area based on a dilapidated military radar station located beyond the Ural Mountains. The map was designed with gloomy weather in mind, so it has plenty of places with limited visibility and minimal lighting.

The central part of the area is the antenna, based on a real prototype. The ground floor and the roof are accessible by two different paths, and the very top is accessible by only one. From the top of the antenna one is able to view the entire map, but they are very visible at the same time.

The shortest pathway between the bases is blocked by an extremely dangerous chemical anomaly, while another path lies via the ruins of the military hospital and officers' house.

Background
It was part of the various radar stations that tracked the launch and movement of objects in the upper layers of the atmosphere. Not long before the catastrophe, canisters with a strange black oily substance were delivered to the base. Their purpose was not known by anyone except the commanders.

After the catastrophe the connection to military headquarters was lost. The base garrison fought back desperately. The personnel managed to retune the antenna and find the signal broadcast by the Renaissance Army, urging them to retreat to the south and regroup with their forces. After three months of defense, with no hope of receiving support, the troops gathered the remains of their forces in an attempt to push through to the south via the Siberian forests.
