Bella Omega

Bella Omega is a map in Tribes: Ascend. The map is of a contested holding on Bella, a planet in the wilderzone. Blood Eagle and Diamond Sword currently are battling for the domination of. The setting of the map is of an arctic wasteland, with rolling hills and some ancient dead roots scattered about.

Base
The Blood Eagle and Diamond Sword bases are mirror images of one another on this map. There are three Base Turrets surrounding both pillar-like bases, along with two outpost towers that also have inventory stations. Directly in front of the base is a vehicle pad and basement entrance. Within the base is an energy conduit that extends from the basement all the way to the top of the base. The base features four levels: basement, ground, flag stand, and apex. incorporates an interesting generator mechanic as well; if the generator is active, there is a seal in the energy column that impedes any players wanting to access the flag stand from lower levels. The generator also controls force fields for two of the four flag stand entraces, which are impenetrable to enemies if active. There is no force field that blocks the path to the generator.

Basement
The generator is located deep in the bowels of the base, in the back of the basement level. The basement level consists of a series of intertwined hallways that lead to the generator, energy column and the vehicle shaft (a vertical tunnel).

Main
The main level only houses two Inventory Stations aside from the energy column.

Flagstand
The flag stand level has the flag situated at the center of the lift. This level is open on two sides if the generator is up, with an outer balcony. When the generator is down, the front and back doors open up, allowing cappers to come in at any of the four open entrances. Since the flag is in mid-air, this makes keeping a HoF(Heavy on Flag) difficult to maintain.

Apex
The apex is the top level of the base, and offers an advantageous overview of the terrain. This level is open to all four directions but does not have an outer balcony.

Terrain
As stated, is a sand level with rolling hills. In between the two bases is a alien artifact. The maps path from one base to the other leads under an ice-rock-root bridge through the artifact area, then under another bridge. Scattered around the map are frozen roots jutting out of the hills. In the distance the large trunks for the roots can be seen
