Kuzakhvesungar

Kuzakhvesungar, more commonly known as Site B (referring to the title of the Gen II facility) is an island located 140 miles (225km) southwest of Macmar Island. It is the second second smallest & northernmost island of the Malkkengarun, and the only island to bear signs of life alongside a dormant volcano. The northern side is covered with dense redwoods while the southern side is covered in lush rainforest and plains. The name translates to 'North Jungle Island' in Zashit.
== History ==
=== Early History ===
It is believed that Kuzakhvesungar was formed during the Melwendian Period, due to a volcanic hotspot, alongside the rest of the Malkkengarun around 65 million years ago. It was one of the only landmasses to house fauna relatively unaffected by the Iridaceous Extinction Event 69 million years ago, as the islands were dominated mostly by plantlife & early mammals, and had little if any dinosaur or large animal species at the time. Due to the Malkkengarun resting on a hotspot which began rapidly shifting during the Cuiciloan Period, the archipelago began infested with volcanic activity which continued into the Melwendian Period. The dormancy of these volcanoes allowed the mammalian life which had settled on the islands since the melwendian to thrive, however it also allowed for early humanoids, known as the Zashit, to settle on the island around 9000 BCA. The Zashit formed a civilisation that ruled the archipelago for around 3000 years until an unknown event resulted in them departing for Syltöre. It is believed the the once-dormant volcanoes on the other three islands came back to life, and forced most species into extinction or off the island as the air surrounding the archipelago and the wider Endless Sea became intoxicated. However, in more recent times the volcano on Kuzakhvesungar has fallen dormant and the activity of the archipelago's volcanoes has sharply declined, resulting in a return of life to Kuzakhvesungar.
=== Far West and Rex Project ===
The island would be rediscovered in 937 ACA by the Voyage of the West, a group of palaeontologists, geologists and mapmakers from across Rathnir venturing out into the Endless Sea to map the region beyond 'civilisation's natural barrier'. This region, known today as the Far West encompassed Akan'nash, Far Western Syltör and Haven, Hesperdin, the Malkkengarun and Macmar Island.
The Voyage of the West would be an overwhelming success, and Gen II would eventually return to the island to build its asset production facilities in 938 ACA. This is the origin of the term "Site B" that is used when referring to the island, as it was the codename given to Kuzakhvesungar by the company. Kuzakhvesungar would act as the 'factory floor' for the Rex Project, responsible for the vast array of dinosaur production and research facilities that simply could not fit into the Site A plans.
Following the Macmar Island Incident in Pikuavis 945 ACA, the same hurricane that ravaged Site A (resulting in its formal closure) swept south and made landfall on Kuzakhvesungar on the 25th Pikuavis 945 ACA. The hurricane laid waste to the facilities there, leaving around 400 workers without power and without any means of evacuation. A large group of dinosaurs, mostly the carnivorous Aeroraptor seized the opportunity and rushed the ruined facilities. By the time Gen II evacuation concluded on the 2nd Núlanawe 946 ACA, only 142 people were able to be rescued. It was the greatest operational failure in history.
=== Malkkengarun Incident ===
Following abandonment, nature quickly reclaimed the facilities, however alongside Site A power would remain on standby for a further 17 years, meaning that it was still fully possible for someone to operate all forms of machinery on Site B until 962 ACA. Kuzakhvesungar would be left out of Operation Cleansweep, which mainly concerned covering the tracks of what was already known about the Rex Project. Kuzakhvesungar was completely unknown to have a Gen II facility at the time, and hence it was deemed a waste of money to send teams there. 
However, following the beginning of Garend Blue's tenure as CEO of Gen II in 947 ACA, plans immediately begun to use the dinosaur population on Site B to open another park on the mainland. Codenamed Operation Relocation, it would involve the mass shipment of at least 3 of every single species on the Gen II Asset Database to this new facility on the mainland. 
Shortly before Operation Extraction I, the first half of Relocation, began in 948 ACA, a group comprised of Pablito Elquagero and Quaizumoc Tizoc among a few others travelled to Kuzakhvesungar, only to uncover a second company, Menzogna-Inganno, using Gen II resources to facilitate their own means on the island. Gen II mercenaries unsuccessfully attempted to evacuated members of this group, nicknamed 'the Expedition', off-island, before continuing with the Operation. However, due to a Type-1 Entropomorphia outbreak among the mercenaries, the operation was a total failure.
Gen II mercenaries returned to Kuzakhvesungar in 960 ACA, however, in a chain of events known as the Malkkengarun Incident, things went horribly wrong following a sabotage by a second group on the island at the time. Despite this, Gen II eventually left the island with a large collection of blood vials & a live Manothronax asset. However, following its escape on the mainland, it was swiftly returned to Kuzakhvesungar. The Malkkengarun Incident Inquiry of 960-961 ACA concluded that similar restrictions placed on Site A following the Macmar Incident should be placed on Site B, with the notable exception that Gen II were still allowed to continue operations.
=== Gilmore Administration ===
Swiftly following the ascension of Muinon Gilmore to the role of Chief Geneticist at Gen II, construction began on a new facility on the island's southern tip. It would act as an outpost for future Gen II experiments on the mainland, shipping blood vials collected from the remains of the original facility. The facility was mostly secondary priority to the Human Studies Project in the following decade, however in the 980s Gen II began a broader string of programs that would connect their experiments in the field of medicine, genetics & human experimentation. Crockett Gideon initiated the first export of a dinosaur to the mainland from the new facility in 985 ACA for the purpose of the development of future hybrid specimens. The exportation of apex predators & other key members of the food chain resulted in an collapse of the ecosystem on the island, resulting in a significant minority of species that were once present on the island going extinct. The facility was completely abandoned in the late 990s amid unknown circumstances and following Gen II's liquidation in 997 ACA Kuzakhvesungar has remained abandoned.
