Roc

Roc is one of the original 16 tracks in POD.

Information

"Roc was the original pre-drilling station for Plant 21. A pre-drilling station is a small, mobile drill rig that tests a given area for quality and quantity of whatever raw material is to be mined. These rigs are usually deployed when the mining firm using them has a good idea that an area will be profitable. In the case of this station, the surrounding area was so full of ore that the biggest IMC mine on Io was built, and the pre-drilling station was converted into a communications centre, and later accomodation was added in the stable areas where pre-drilling had not taken place." - Jupiter State Museum.

"The dormitory town for the Plant 21 mining development. Many of the miners were unable to flee from Pod and died of cold and hunger whilst trying to cross the Gaia mountain range." - POD Manual

Trivia

• Roc is one of the four original tracks that weren't available in the POD OEM 1.0 version, only being added in the 2.0 (retail) release.
