Solace is a planet on The Frontier. It is the home of Gibraltar, Wattson, Revenant, Mirage, Horizon, Fade, Rhapsody, and Newcastle. It is the namesake of the eponymous Search and Rescue Association of Solace. The planet, although being the centre of Syndicate Space and the Hub of the Syndicate, has very little rules and a great deal of freedom. It does not seem to have a police force as Octane states that if someone has a problem, they have to catch you first. Ajay Che aka Lifeline met her band during a night on Solace when Octane took her clubbing. The geology of Solace seems to predominately deserts which are great places to run gauntlets according to Octane. However there does seem to be seas and archipelagos of islands such as Kings Canyon. The days are blazing and the nights are frigid.
Locations[]
Kings Canyon - Formerly an IMC military base on the Duchess River, now a stage for the Apex Games.
Kómma - A former IMC-controlled city that once thrived with gambling, clubs, and various questionable activities. Some time ago, the financial systems in Kómma collapsed after a virus inserted by Rhapsody spread out of control. In the present day, Kómma is now a ghost town. When Mirage crashed the Mirage Voyage into its downtown plaza, he struck a deal with its current owner, allowing Ash to convert it into the arena "Party Crasher". Home of Rhapsody.
Neon Dunes - a dangerous nightlife district, where Rhapsody's family stayed after her mother was fired and laden with false debts.
Pythas Block 0 - a corporate campus located above the city of Kómma. Owned and operated by Pythas Inc., it contains many offices for powerful executives, some entertainment, and the Pythas Arcade.
Solace City - One of the only large cities on the planet, positioned near the coast of the Nostos Ocean. Solace City is considered to be a hub for fans of the Apex Games, with Loba regarding it as "an Apex theme park." During the energy crisis, Solace City used most of the planet's resources. Home of Mirage and his bar, the Paradise Lounge. The headquarters of the Mercenary Syndicate, Syndicate Tower, is also located here.
Union Square - Centre of Solace City and rife with pickpockets.
Eelhead Bay - A fishing village that became part of Solace City. Home of Wattson.
Little Mouse - A small town 10 km outside of Solace City, and home of Gibraltar's family since Solace was first colonized.
Harris Valley - A small, idyllic town somewhere on Solace, Harris Valley was founded by those widowed, orphaned, and left behind by the IMC during the Frontier War, resulting in heavy anti-IMC sentiment. It is a peaceful area, to the point of not even needing a government or police force. The people of Harris Valley idolize a local hero named Newcastle. Unbeknownst to them, the original bearer of the mantle of Newcastle sold the town to a gang called the Forgotten Families, a group of IMC-loyalists, to pay off his debts. Home of Jackson Williams.
Antheia - A region north of Kings Canyon. Nothing is known about Antheia other than its name.
