Overview[]

Luganville's pristine beach.

A sleepy seaside town situated on the eastern side of Tanoa, Luganville is home to a medium-sized community of banana and sugarcane farmers.[1]

Due to the recent super-strain malaria outbreak, road access to-and-from Luganville has been strictly limited and is only possible with permission from the authorities.[2] Chinese-led Pacific CSAT forces are currently overseeing the vaccination programmes and decontamination efforts.[3]

The government has recommended that any citizens concerned for the wellbeing of family members who may still be living in the town to contact the Le Service de Santé de Tanoa on 555-455 for more information.[2]

History[]

As of June 2nd, 2038, the town has been quarantined due to the outbreak of an unknown super-strain of malaria.[2]

SPOILER ALERT

NOTE: This section contains spoilers from ArmA 3's 'Old Man' campaign.

Immediately after the entirety of Tobakoro's residents were systematically exterminated by Atrox[4], CSAT science teams quickly shifted their attention towards Luganville.

A month later, their plan was put into motion. Rather than infect the town itself however, they offloaded crates containing contaminated mosquitoes from trucks into the village to its west.[5] Within hours, the first calls came in and Dr. Drábek was flooded with requests for his assistance.[6]

The doctor feared that his patients would be "taken away" by CSAT soldiers if they were left in their current state. Running low on medicine and realising that they would be arriving soon to dispense their "aid", the doctor ferried the sick villagers away from Luganville, hoping to hide them from CSAT forces.[7][8]

Facilities[]

NGO camp[]

Arma3-location-luganville-05

Aid workers from the IDAP Non-Government Organisation have a small camp established along the crossroads leading into the western village.

Military base[]

Arma3-location-luganville-04

Garrisoned by a platoon of Pacific CSAT forces, the base is built along the northern road leading out of Luganville.[9]

The base's command centre is set up inside the hotel while the field tent houses the base's engineers and HQ staff. The lawn has an improvised helipad that is large enough to support a single helicopter or VTOL transport. Logistics trucks are always parked nearby to resupply aircraft at a moment's notice.

Authorities believe it is linked to the super-strain epidemic and are advising all locals to avoid the area completely. Blue Pearl workers, stay off the east coast road.

A village no-one ever heard of 'til malaria wiped it off the map. Here is the same photo, only enhanced. Note the stencil on the side of the container. Look familiar? That symbol was on a cargo truck we caught with our surveillance."
  5. ARMA 3: Apex 2020 [Video Game], Bohemia Interactive a.s., Old Man, "Great. That should help. I wished I could say it would solve our problems but, like I said, it's not real malaria. Rumor is, CSAT were up to something in Luganville on the same night the outbreak hit. If they are responsible, there is a chance they have a cure. Or, if not that, maybe a vaccine or something, I don't know..."
  6. ARMA 3: Apex 2020 [Video Game], Bohemia Interactive a.s., Old Man, "It's Luganville. People have started getting sick... The first calls came in last night. Since then, half the village has been infected. There are mosquitoes, but the salient symptom; it's not malarial. In every case, I've seen significant ulceration of the skin. Almost like an allergic reaction... Anyway, thing is, I can't treat it. I need medicine. Proper medicine. And not the cheap chloroquine shit. I need primaquine, and antibiotics."
  7. ARMA 3: Apex 2020 [Video Game], Bohemia Interactive a.s., Old Man, "Hey, it's Drábek. Just so you know, we had to relocate - CSAT were patrolling the jungle and, well... Staying put didn't seem like a good idea. I'll send you a message, with our new location. Also, don't forget, we're in desperate need of medical supplies! I've got nothing to work with here. One damp rag and my best intentions aren't going to cut it."
  8. ARMA 3: Apex 2020 [Video Game], Bohemia Interactive a.s., Old Man, "More important right now is we find ourselves a large truck. Yeah. I think we ought to relocate. A military drone keeps flying over. Could be nothing but, people asking awkward questions tend to disappear out here, in the jungle. I don't want us to be amongst them."
