The typically rocky landscape of 4 Holes

Is an Omni-Controlled zone with an Omni Grid exit.
Contains the four mining towns Aurum, Ahenus, Argentum and, Chalceus.
Is a PvP political zone with 25% Suppression Gas.
Has whompahs leading to the 20K outpost in Pleasant Meadows, the 2HO outpost in Stret East Bank, and Broken Shores.
Has a wide variety of QLs of Carbonrich Ore crystal outcrops.
Has nine Land Control Areas.
Has no Dyna Camps. Borders Stret West Bank to the north, 'Stret East Bank' to the east, and Andromeda to the south.

An hours-long buff with a 35% bonus to xp is given to Clan players in the immediate vicinity of the Foreman NPC not far to the northwest of the grid exit, every 10 minutes. Omni players may attempt to take advantage of this by waiting for Clan players, especially ones that go AFK while waiting for the buff.

There is a ferry in the south that carries Rubikans across the Stret River.

A verbal rivalry exists between all four towns over which is the best.

The four town names are Latin for metals: Aurum is Gold, Argentum Silver, Ahenus Copper, and Chalcius, from an erroneus Latin text which claims it is the "ore from which brass is melted", which is impossible, since brass is an amalgam of copper and zinc[1] (just as bronze is an amalgam of copper and tin).

Aurum and Argentum, and presumably the other two towns, are still under Unionist Occupation, with Omni-Tek issuing a directive to allow full "Open Hostility" against the unionists and anyone supporting them.

The exact date when the towns were founded, and which one was first, is unknown. Thety may have originally been outzone mines back when Omni-1 was still under construction. Its proximity to both Omni-Tek Territory and area controlled by the Clans has made it an area of frequent dispute for years.

On 30 May, 29480, the Clans took advantage of the Omni-Tek occupation of Borealis to send unionists in to occupy all of 4 Holes and the four towns.

All four towns are built with standard OT Style Architecture, and are under the same 25% Suppression Gas.


Argentum

Aurum

Brian Horn, the mayor of Chalceum...or is it Aurum? Omni-Tek architecture

Aurum is southernmost and largest of the four mining towns that make up the area of 4 Holes. Means "Gold" in Latin.

Services

  • OT Tailor Shop is at (1139,1135) labeled "4 Holes Fashion" on the outside.
  • OT Basic Augmentor has shop at (1136, 1153) labed "Tools n Stuff" outside.
  • Miiir fashion has an outlet shop at (1155, 1155), OT only.
  • There is an OT Basic Pharmacist inside the building labeled "HeadWare Shop" at (1182,1177)
  • Omni-Tek Mission Terminals are located west of the Whompah at (1180,1243) outside the Double Gate Inn
  • Aurum is connected to the Omni-Tek Whompah Network at (1208,1250). It connects Aurum with The Omni Outpost in Broken Shores, 20k in Pleasant Meadows, and 2HO in Stret East Bank

Sights to See

  • The Canary (1166,1100) is a restauant with outdoor seating.
  • There is a Prison at (1207,1210) which looks like any of the other city prisons. It is unguarded at this time, possibly due to the Unionist Takeover.

Personalities

  • Brian Horn is standing atop the Canary at (1166, 1100). He is a gruff surly man who claims to be the mayor of Chalceum. Due to the occupation, he may be the mayor of nothing and is hiding there to escape the Unionist forces.
  • Also at the Canary is the more cheerful Jane Frued, who is the waitress at the Canary. Though more cheerful than Brian Horn, she has less to say.


Ahenus

Means "Copper" in Latin.


Argentum

Argentum is westernmost of the four mining towns. It has the most buildings of the four towns. Argentum means "Silver" in Latin.

Services

  • OT Tailor Shop is at (985,1802) labeled "4 Holes Fashion" on the outside.
  • OT Basic Quality Augmentor has a shop at (902,1745) labeled "Tools n Stuff" outside.
  • Mojo's Weapon Emporium (920, 1625), is shop with an OT Basic Weapons dealer.

Sights to See

  • The Subsea Resort (858,1759) is a open air building with large pool with deck chairs. Nice place for a pool party, if it was not for the suppression and the weather.
  • A large toxic lake is at (825,1813)

Personalities

  • A large Atrox called the Unionist Foreman wanders around (902, 1704). Omni-Tek personnel have orders to eradicate him on sight.
  • Another Atrox called Unionist Agitator Scarpase stands outside the Subsea Resort at (828,1766. While not named directly, it is assumed that OT will also reward for his termination.


Chalceus

The "ore from which brass is melted"" in Latin, an error; Brass is actually copper plus zinc.
