Dombrad Exclusion Zone

The Dombrad Exclusions Zone (DEZ), is an area encompassing approximately 100sq km, including the former city of Dombrad and and its outlying perimeter. Following the impact of Hakkon's Fist and the ensuing shockwave and tsunami, the city was left devastated and flooded, largely uninhabited aside from small populations of survivors and scavengers. The ensuing Bakian Civil War prevented significant repair and rebuilding of Dombrad, as well as the delivery of most humanitarian resources. However Coalition efforts saw the delivery of supplies to Dombrad during the civil war, and the establishment of a safe zone for IDPs. The population of Dombrad would slowly rise, until the start of the Alaunus Crisis. Dombrad was quickly overrun by Alaunus infected, and quickly became an unusually sized hotspot for infected to congregate. The Coalition administered refugee camps lead to the rapid spread of the virus, and the influx of thousands of infected throughout the city. It is during this period of the outbreak that a large number of infected inhabited the extensive metro network of Dombrad, it is also theorized that infected may have found their way into 'Elysium' an extensive government bunker facility, built prior to Hakkon's Fist. Although Elysium has not been confirmed to officially exist, many believe the unique importance of Dombrad to many infected is related to the existence of Elysium, and some of the agricultural research that is thought to have occurred within the bunker complex. Regardless of the cause, the infected population has proved exceptionally resilient to efforts to eliminate them, and no military force has yet attempted to breach the network of partially collapsed and submerged tunnels. The danger of Dombrad was exacerbated with the growth of the Tartarus Blight, a species of fungus that has spread throughout much of the city center of Dombrad, The fungus releases a deadly neurotoxin upon contact, and is considered to be one of the most fatal species of fugus known on Al'ard, it was previously entirely unknown species prior to the Alaunus outbreak. Thankfully the fungus has not spread beyond the city borders, and for reason unknown, it fails to germinate when attempted to be spread outside of Dombrad. 
The persistent danger of Dombrad from its infected population, tartarus blight fungus, deteriorated infrastructure, and its ungoverned status wedged between the BVPU and the Bakian Republic, it has been declared to be the "Dombrad Exclusion Zone", an area restricted to any travel without the express permission of both Bakian states and Coalition observers.
