Havridam City stood as a major urban center on the world of New Bakstre, a planet renowned for its cities. A disastrous incident involving the Mechanical Liberation Front led to the city's partial ruin when they tried to liberate a cache of Vindicator XM-15 missiles. The attempted liberation triggered an explosion of the missiles, resulting in the deaths of 14 MLF operatives and the obliteration of a kilometer 25-radius area surrounding the blast.
