Months had passed since the Expeditionary Force to the New World, currently referred to as Vinland, had procured natural resources. In this time, they had made substantial improvements to the settlement.
For starters, the fortifications were now made of granite and type M mortar as a star fortress. A proper garrison had ensured that it was well defended, using 1422 Schmidt Guns and artillery pieces spread throughout its ramparts.
Inside the star fortress were the quarters of the soldiers, which were as barracks, cookhouses, chapels, and other institutions. The half-timber structures and the baroque cathedrals combined to form a settlement the likes of which the New World had never seen before.
