The Mountain Ridge Military

**The Mountain Ridge Military**, is a group that landed on **Mountain Ridge** in around the 1980s, and became it's military through unknown means. They are responsible for the creation of;

* **Archipelago Armory**
* **Comms Construct**
* **Fort Foundation**
* **Rocket Rubble**
* **Mission Control**
* and, **The Divide**.

They are also entangled in **The Rocket Explosion,** and **The Division****,** two events that occurred that tampered their ability to **test with Rifts** anymore, and caused the public to dislike them. They had a hatred towards the **M.F.I.,** who were then destroyed by **the Mountain Ridge Military,** as they thought the **M.F.I.** caused **The Rocket Explosion,** and **The Division,** as an act of sabotage.

Due to their presence on the island, in the 2010s they began keeping logs of days tracked on the island. Tons of days' logs are lost, but here are the list of days logs were actually made;

* **Day 25**
* **Day 29**
* **Day 33**
* **Day 38**
* **Day 58**
* **Day 61**
* **Day 87**
* **Day 97**
* **Day 102**
* **Day 103**
* **Day 142**
* **Day 157**
* and, **Day 158**

## **The Creation of Military Buildings on Mountain Ridge**

Due to **the Mountain Ridge Military's** arrival on **Mountain Ridge,** they developed many buildings. Here are the ones they made;

### **Archipelago Armory (A summary)**

**Archipelago Armory** is a military base built on a local archipelago near the main island of **Mountain Ridge.** It has been around for 30-ish years by **Day 158** in the logs. Nothing lore-wised has importantly impacted the building.

### **Comms Construct (A summary)**

**Comms Construct,** formerly **Communications Construct,** is a military communications center built near the top of the northern mountain of **Mountain Ridge.** It has been around for 30-ish years by **Day 158** in the logs. Multiple logs were written specifically here, and they mainly are summarized versions of what happened on that Day.

### **Fort Foundation (A summary)**

**Fort Foundation** is a military fort built near the bottom of the north-eastern mountain of **Mountain Ridge.** It has been around for 30-ish years by **Day 158** in the logs. Multiple logs were written specifically here about events, and **the Mountain Ridge Military** sent troops from here, which completed **Operation: Raid the Marigold,** and **Operation: Destroy MFI**.

### **Rocket Rubble (A summary)**

**Rocket Rubble** is the remains of **Roaring Rocket,** a rocket created by the military, that was powered by Rift energy. The site surrounding the rocket, and now housing it's rubble was built next to a lake in **Mountain Ridge.** The rocket was around for 73 days, from **Day 29** to **Day 102**, and it's status was written in the logs. The rocket's explosion, now called **The Rocket Explosion,** occurred due to a rupturing of the Rift that powered it, in it's core, causing it to explode. It's command center was **Mission Control**.

### **Mission Control (A summary)**

**Mission Control** was the control center of what was **Roaring Rocket,** but after **The Rocket Explosion,** it was abandoned by **the Mountain Ridge Military** on **Day 104.** The control center was built next to what was **Roaring Rocket**, and is next to the eastern mountain in **Mountain Ridge.** The command center was around for 75 days, from **Day 29** to **Day 104,** and it primarily dealt with the rocket, until it was abandoned. Most of the logs explaining anything relating to the rocket were written here.

### **The Divide (A summary)**

**The Divide,** formerly **The Decoy Town,** which was officially called **Tiny Town** by it's civilian residents, is ground zero of **The Division** event. **Tiny Town** was built in **Day 25** in the plains next to a lake in **Mountain Ridge,** and it became known within **the Mountain Ridge Military** as **The Decoy Town**, as the bunker under it was used to **test with Rift's** abilities primarily. **Tiny Town**, also known as **The Decoy Town**, technically lasted for 132 days, from **Day 25** to **Day 157**, as on **Day 157,** **The Division** event occurred. **The Division** was caused via a rouge scientist, who overtime, made the main Rift they tested unstable, as a self-sacrifice to stop the experiments. As the Rift became more and more unstable (because of the rouge scientist's sabotage), it finally exploded, releasing a shock wave inside **Tiny Town**. The majority of **Tiny Town** was reduced to rubble, and because of the Rift's energy, gravity began to fail in **Tiny Town**, and stuff began to levitate. Most of the logs explaining **the Rift Tests** were written here.

## **The Relationships of the Mountain Ridge Military**

Due to **the Mountain Ridge Military's** arrival on **Mountain Ridge,** they developed many relationships. Here are the ones they made;

### **The Public**

Their arrival on **Mountain Ridge** wasn't exactly welcomed in the 1980s, but they settled in without any problems. The public mainly grew distaste towards them during the construction, and lifespan of **Roaring Rocket**, and **the entire Decoy Town** they made to cover up a bunker that was **testing Rifts,** blowing up and causing **The Division** event.

### **M.F.I. (The Military Fallen Institution)**

During the creation of **Roaring Rocket,** and **Tiny Town**, some of the aforementioned public decided to form an organization against **the Mountain Ridge Military**, called the **M.F.I.** Their headquarters became the yacht named, "**the Marigold.**" They then were raided by **the Mountain Ridge Military** after **The Rocket Explosion**, as **the Mountain Ridge Military** thought the **M.F.I.** caused it. They were wrong, and **the Marigold** was invaded for no reason. When **The Division** event occurred, **the Mountain Ridge Military** immediately thought the **M.F.I.** caused it, and sunk **the Marigold**, killing all **M.F.I.** personnel, and destroying the organization.
