History

The Garrison was built when Velathra was a thriving Arcanist city for studying astronomical phenomena. The Garrison, located a short distance away from Velathra, behaved like a strider check point and a Sentinel Tower. When the cataclysm that destroyed Velathra was unleashed, the surrounding areas also crumbled.

The Garrison is also a memorial to several Freelancer battles. A shrine is lit to honor the fallen of the Battle of Gao's Choice in the garrison by the Freelancer, as the request of Yarrow in 468 LV.
