Rotfront

Hoffnung für die Zukunft - Hope for the future

Rotfront is a moon orbiting the fourth planet in the solar system. It is the fourth inhabited body in the solar system.

This is the planet where Ariane, Isa and Erika lived during their teen years, as well as being the focus of the Nation's expansion.

During the events of Signalis, Elster visits several different locations on Rotfront.

## Block Sector C

Block Sector C is the name of the area of Rotfront we explore during the Rotfront Level that occurs during the final chapter of the game.

## Rotfront Interplanetar Station 06

Rotfront Interplanetar Station 06 is the name of the radio station that was once operated by Ariane's mother which we visit during the "Eternity Plate" First Person segment.

This is a small radio station featuring a large antenna array nearby that it coordinates. This station is likely where Ariane spent most of her childhood seeing as it is where her mother worked.

This station also showcased a small bunker next to it in the memory, which is unknown if it existed in the actual station, or was just a way for us to exit the memory. If it did exist then it suggests that perhaps one would hunker down in these bunkers in the events of a particularly bad snow storm, or a possible attack, as this is an interplanetary station and as such an important communications link.

## Mandelbrot Polytechnische Obserschule

Mandelbrot Polytechnische Oberschule is the name of the school that was once attended by Ariane, Isa and Erika that we observe during Isa's flashback. The classroom Isa and Erika share is numbered 512.

This school's name, Mandelbrot Polytechnic High School, suggests that it specialized in engineering, technology, applied science, and natural sciences, perhaps suggesting that the Nation has a focus on these ideals rather than more artistic showings as is the case with the Empire.

## The Rotfront Metro

Rotfront seemed to use a great number of trains to travel on the planet, we see the inside of one of these trains during the Train cutscene.

The Metro seems to connect various locations on the moon, as it seems Ariane used it to get around from her apartment in Sector C to the School and perhaps in some theories even took it from the Radio Array to Sector C.

The Metro can also be seen on the lower levels of Sector C when Elster explores that area.

## Lore

On Rotfront there is deep folklore regarding The Red Eye, this being a reference to the Great Red Spot on Jupiter. They believe it to be a symbol of the surveillance of the Nation and the ever-watching eyes of the Protektor Core.

On Rotfront they celebrate a holiday known as Mondfest, however this holiday would be put on hold when we visit Sector C either due to the infection or due to the Protektor Corps's attempts to locate the Imperial spy. Mondfest celebrations cancelled over safety concerns

During Mondfest they will gift each other rationmarks, the nations currency, dipped in red. Formally this symbolizes the blood of the revolution but there is also connections to the Red Eye suggested by some.

### Memorial

Memorial is a cut scene that has the tag ROT which indicates it is from Rotfront. The Memorial scene depicts a concrete version of Falke or the Revolutionary as well as a large tower flanked by radio arrays and buildings, suggesting it was built within the more urban parts of the moon.
