Holar Tower

From the Resistance Wiki

The Holar Tower was a Chimeran Tower located in Holar, Iceland. Both it and the Chicago Tower contained large amounts of Gray Tech. This tower was dug up after the Chimera had invaded Iceland on July 15, 1951 and was the main base of the Chimera since. The tower seems to be one of the main towers on Earth, as it can can control the activation of the other towers. It is mentioned that in Resistance: The Gathering Storm, this tower is the base of the Chimera and in the co-op, it was responsible for the creation of 'red' Grims which is never seen in other parts of the game. Advanced Hybrids were seen the most there given the tower's importance and need for security.

The Holar Tower was later attacked by SRPA black ops soldiers and Sentinels in 1953. It was a massive operation with over 75 VTOLS ferrying soldiers and dozens of F-86 Sabre jets. But the assault was awaited by a Chimeran ambush, totaling with Stalkers, Advanced Hybrids, and Steelheads miring both ground and air forces. Some of the remaining American forces managed to escape, but about 1,000-2,000 human personnel were killed. Ultimately the attack was a costly failure worsen with distinguished Sentinel members, Spc. Aaron Hawthorne and Sgt. Benjamin Warner being killed by Daedalus during the battle.

After the breach of the Liberty Defense Perimeter, SRPA made a second successful attempted mission in Holar by sending one of it's special tactical team Specter in halting Daedalus attempt in constructing the Prometheus Weapon.
