Description
Sanctuary Valley is a technology dead zone, a result of the damaged Reflex Furnace of a crashed Zentraedi ship. The wreck of the ship is mostly buried beneath the jungle of the valley and the damaged reactor generates a form of stealth field covering the valley that makes it effectively invisible to most sensors. The valley is home to a Buddhist temple and village, inhabited by human monks and villagers alongside both micronized and full-sized Zentraedi.
History
The valley had been home to a Buddhist temple for centuries when First Robotech War happened. It survived the Rain of Death relatively unscathed, but did become the final resting place of the wreck of a Zentraedi scout ship. The Indochina jungles became home to many rogue Zentraedi and several stumbled across the valley. They were surprised to be welcomed by the monks and decided to stay, the giants helping to repair the temple. Over the years it became clear something was keeping the valley hidden, and the residents worked to keep its existence a secret. Still, many refugees would find their way there, either by accident or following rumors. This included mi-cronized Zentraedi, fugitives, and others with nowhere left to go, and all were welcomed as long as they intended no harm. Members of the 21st ATAC hovertank squadron stumbled across the valley during the NWO conflict, but upon leaving promised to keep its existence a secret.
