Fort Icebreaker isn’t a fort so much as what might be called the “main line of resistance” separating Kesh from Apostolos across a 500 mile stretch of Partizan. Despite its name, Fort Icebreaker comprises hundreds of military facilities, including watchtowers, artillery emplacements, anti-armour barriers, an array of advanced surveillance systems, and 12 major bases.[1]
Icebreaker Prime
Icebreaker Prime is the most major of the forts that make up Icebreaker. It is a huge, mobile land carrier which combines the roles of arsenal, garrison, airfield, and a firebase all rolled into one. Able to traverse the tundra of the Barranca, it is also capable of burrowing below the surface.[1]
Icebreaker Prime normally houses over ten thousand of Apostolos’ most skilled soldiers.[1]
The Rapid Evening led an assault on Point Juniper during a movement by the forces of Stel Kesh against Stel Apostolos, during which they were able to seize control of Juniper,[2] and later (after a battle with the Divine Motion), Icebreaker Prime itself. The mobile platform was then driven into the Prophet's Sea, where it was hidden from view by a miracle performed by Gur Sevraq.[3] The Rapid Evening invited a number of revolutionary parties on board for a meeting, which led to the formation of Millennium Break.[4]
Appearance
It is compared to the Rhinoceros Transport, a Strandbeest kinetic sculpture by Theo Jansen, but is much larger: the size of several aircraft carriers or a moving city.
