Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/Telescreen Tower

The Telescreen Tower is an Voshkod Tier access structure.

History
"Big Sister is watching you."

-Propaganda commonly displayed on Telescreen Towers

With the war going into its later years, the battles began to take their strain on the morale of the Voshkod Army. The great stalemate that occurred after the primary conflicts of the 2004 V.C. conflict further dampened Voshkod morale. But during the conflict with the Katsuragi Protectorate, several commanders noted the effectiveness of the emblems that adorned much of the opposing army. The Voshkod believed that the easiest way to inspire their troops in a similar way was through propaganda, a tactic that they had used to recruit much of their army. If it was so effective on the home front, then surely it would be effective on the front lines.

With that, the Voshkod commissioned the construction of a tower that was to be covered in whatever telecommunications equipment could be found. They did little to hide the thrown-together nature of the tower, though no one really cared. To monitor its effectiveness, several cameras were placed on it so that it might be viewed by a member of Voshkod high command. During one live viewing of the tower’s performance, an allied spy was caught on tape. The commissioner immediately contacted the Voshkod base in question and the spy was killed. In the same field test the tower proved itself capable of motivating Voshkod forces and indeed, several conscripts felt their strength return to them as they listened to the tower's many broadcasts.

Another important role of the Telescreen Tower is to unlock higher technology tiers. The Telescreen Tower allows a direct link between a field base and the higher-ups in the Voshkod military, allowing the base to request access to higher levels of technology while allowing the KGB to keep an eye out for potential defectors trying to abscond with advanced military technology.
