"[Kalydon] has a breathable atmosphere, not much water, and a limited biosphere. Military Outpost Kilo Five Seven serves mostly as a repair and supply depot for ships cruising through this otherwisw uninhabited part of space."

Overview

Kalydon, also named Tarahk VI, is a barren rock planet where the Atlantis crew landed in order to conduct repairs. It is the location of a Terran military outpost Obolus, and the setting of the seventh mission in the game. Not much can be said about its landscape besides that it is dominantly mountainous in the area of your landing, and overall dry. The sun can be observed expelling solar flares even from the surface, suggesting it's close to the center of its solar system. Little to no plants are present there, and no animals can be seen.

The outpost on the planet is guarded by a massive shield wall, an impenetrable forcefield that reaches into the sky.

Appearances

The planet appears around halfway through Unreal 2's story. Although it is not shown from orbit, there is a holographic image of its surface.

Trivia

• Kalydon shares its name with a greek island, as well as an ancient greek city, which fits with the game's theme of naming planets after mythological and ancient locations from human history.
• Liandri Angels are first seen here.
