Northern Command
From the Resistance Wiki
Northern Command was based in Cheshire, England and was where intelligence division was based. The base also contained highly classified materials inside, such as the captured Angel that was part of the Anglo-American military exchange, and death toll statistics throughout Europe.

[edit] Purpose
Northern Command mainly served as the intelligence division's headquarters containing classified intelligence gathered on the Chimera, and was where the Angel was placed after it was recaptured in Manchester. It also served the grim purpose of estimating deaths and survivors throughout England and mainland Europe.
[edit] History
On July 13, 1951 at 3:34 AM Captain Rachel Parker and Sergeant Nathan Hale found Northern Command under attack and occupied by Chimeran forces, leaving very few survivors within the base. It is very likely that the captured Angel telepathically contacted Chimeran forces to its exact location in Northern Command, allowing the sudden attack to take place.
When the Chimera invaded, they soon turned it into their own research base. The Menials there were observed using microscopes and chemicals. In one room they even performed surgery on leapers.
After Hale and Parker broke through the Chimeran defenses, they made it to the Angel's chamber, where surviving British base personnel were still battling the Chimera for possession of the Angel. With the help of Hale and Parker, the British forces fought off the Chimera. Hale then executed the Angel as it tried to enter his mind, and he, Parker, and the handful of surviving personnel escaped.
[edit] Chimeran Defense
When the Chimera invaded the base and secured most of it, they set up several lines of defense. The first deterrent against intruders were Hybrids and Leapers which guarded the perimeter. The second line consisted of Slipskulls and Menials which occupied each room. As a last resort the Chimera had Hardfangs, Steelheads, Howlers, and Grayjacks. The Steelheads mostly patrolled the hallways and commanded the Hybrids. The base also quickly became a breeding ground for leapers. Hardfangs guarded the Angel.
[edit] Trivia
- When the Greyjack is introduced, it is preparing to kill a British soldier. Although some do not know this, the soldier can be saved by killing the Greyjack before it can execute the soldier.
- The Northern Command level has the most Intel of any level, and may be the largest concentration of Steelheads in the game.
