Olympus

Once a city built on dreams, Olympus was a utopia floating in clouds above Psamathe. Here, the brightest minds in the Outlands could gather and exchange ideas, leading to breakthroughs in the sciences and arts. However, an accident in an experimental research facility led to the creation of the Phase Rift (a massive bubble of Phase energy), and the Outlands’ best and brightest quickly abandoned the city. With the support of the Mercenary Syndicate, Hammond Robotics stepped in to transform Olympus into a new stage for the Apex Games.

In an earlier season, another Olympus began randomly showing up throughout the Outlands, ultimately colliding with the Stasis Net on Broken Moon before disappearing again. Now, that Olympus has been found buried in the snow of Págos, and no one knows where it came from. The leading theory of its origin, proposed by one Mary “Horizon” Somers, is that a future version of Olympus traveled back in time and met an untimely end on the snowy planet. That leaves many questions–all of which Dr. Somers intends to answer.

With Horizon’s help, the Syndicate has lifted this version of Olympus back into the sky using new gravitational technology, and tried to restore it to optimal condition. With concerns over the stability of Olympus Prime, the Apex Games have moved onto this alternate Olympus. Competitors will notice a few differences, including the new Somers University built by Horizon a new Gravity Engine to keep the city afloat.
