Welcome to the new Farlight 84 battleground, Sunder Realms!
Sunder Realms is the latest battleground in the FARLIGHT 84 universe, located on Sak Star. This seemingly unassuming planet, once thriving due to its abundant Ether energy, now stands as a competitive arena where major corporations vie for mining rights. The excessive exploitation of Ether led to Sak Star's downfall, succumbing to Ether Turbulence.
Compared to its predecessors, Sunder Realms offers a more evenly distributed resource layout, distinct Stronghold designs, and a broader range of parachute landing options, enhancing players' early-game combat experiences. New feature such as vertical structures adds depth to combat scenarios, providing players with varied elevations to explore.

Now, let's dive into the specific Strongholds on the map:
Lab
Situated in the bottom left corner and separated from the main area by massive rifts, Lab is surrounded by giant mushrooms.
Human-built bridges span these rifts, reflecting a relentless pursuit of Ether research despite escalating turbulence.
Nova Bazaar
Nova Bazaar is a circular base divided into three sectors by a towering central tower located at the center of Nova Residential Area.
It offers rich loot, even in challenging times, albeit at a price due to limited natural food sources on Sak Star.
Transport Port
As the sole transportation hub, Transport Port is a vital artery on Sak Star. Board airships here to reach places inaccessible by land, including our home planet—Blue Star. This massive port has advanced transportation facilities, continuously transporting Ether to Blue Star and sustaining the planet's operations.
Refinery
Equipped with state-of-the-art purification devices, Refinery is the largest Ether energy purification center on Sak Star.
Buildings and warehouses in the Refinery provide numerous hiding spots and ambush opportunities. Towering structures offer an elevated view of the entire battlefield, once processing an endless supply of extraterrestrial energy.
Pioneer Center
This launch tower is a symbolic landmark of the Pioneer Command Center and represents the influence of the Interstellar Union Exploration Company.
Wind Valley
Situated at the intersection of rainforest and desert, Wind Valley's unique landscape, shaped by strong winds, features low-lying buildings with multi-level platforms, adding complexity to the terrain and providing rich strategic choices for battles.
Once contested, Wind Valley is now abandoned, with only the low hum of the wind remaining.
Rocky Zone
Rocky Zone, the territory of Lofty Heavy Industries, enjoys a favorable geographical position. Its base, built into the mountains and surrounded by sheer cliffs, forms a massive protective zone.
Two entrances lead directly to the desert area, but this protective barrier couldn't withstand the onslaught of Ether Turbulence.
Institution
Separated from the rainforest area, the Institution sits in the yellow desert region, surrounded by extraterrestrial plants resembling cacti.
Established with SOURCE investment, it is the birthplace of Ether research. However, due to its isolation in the desert, the destination of these research findings remains unknown.
Hydro Plant
This desert-based Hydro Plant possesses precious water resources, contrasting sharply with the barren surroundings.
In addition to supplying essential water resources, the Hydro Plant's electricity is indispensable, sustaining infrastructure operations and supporting research activities.
