First part of Helnikan Island Metro opens

A major part of the new DDS GHQ on Helnikan Island, Proxima 5, is a sub-surface metro railway linking up the key parts of the island. The first part of the DDS GHQ (Helnikan Island) Metro (as it is officially known) has now opened linking GHQ itself to the Air Base. This is only a small part of the network however and the DDS have published the below map for the first time.

The Metro will link up all the major parts of the island (or islands as one station will be on the adjoining Rotos Island where ISSF have a base) with the major routes being to and from GHQ from the Air Base and the port at Ren's Bay. Other destinations on the east of the island where the major barracks and storage areas are will be linked by a loop. The port will also have a shuttle service that links up the two halves of the port (the lines are also used for freight).

The next part of the Metro to be completed is expected to be a length from Residences to Ren's Bay which will be active later this year. The rest of the loop and an extension from Air Base to the Quentin Hills Observation Point could follow in 2114-5 with the port shuttle and Rotos Island link in 2116.
