Once a simple settlement on the planet Solace dating back to the earliest expeditions to the Frontier, the island known as Kings Canyon didn't thrive until a century later when the now-defunct IMC chose it as a hub for research and development. It housed an airbase, a water treatment plant, and a plethora of other facilities to support the IMC's operations - operations like a highly classified project on the function of Phase tech, or a radical program to create a simulacra army powered by a single brain. But on the surface, Kings Canyon seemed like a simple IMC installation that, for all its faults, brought stability and jobs to Solace.
To blow off steam, IMC soldiers stationed here would compete in gladiator-esque combat in an area they nicknamed 'Thunderdome'. Years later, when the Syndicate commissioned the rebuilding of the island of Kings Canyon as the home of their newest bloodsport, they insisted Thunderdome remain untouched - a tribute to the earliest known predecessor of what we know today as 'The Apex Games'.
Season 2
An EMP detonated by Crypto in the Repulsor Tower allowed the nearby Flyers and Leviathans to invade the island. The Leviathans made their home in the river and destroyed the settlements on it. The Legends were evacuated, and the games were put on hold due to the attack. This respite allowed the Syndicate to add new areas to the map, including a huge structure near the destroyed Bridges and Hydro Dam called The Cage and a camp near what was once the Cascades called Containment.
Season 3
Continued disturbances in the arena forced the Syndicate to relocate the games to another arena at Talos known as World's Edge.
Season 5
The Games eventually returned to Kings Canyon. However, after a failed attempt at killing Revenant, Loba Andrade accidentally set off a chain of explosions in an abandoned simulacrum facility, causing Thunderdome and Skull Town to collapse. A salvage operation was launched under the watchful eye of the Syndicate.
Season 8
In early 2734, after Fuse was admitted to the Apex Games as its first Salvonian competitor, a ceremony was held on the island to celebrate his entry into the Games and Salvo's entry into Syndicate Space. However, the ceremony was attacked by Salvonian warlord Mad Maggie, dealing significant damage to Kings Canyon and causing the ship used for the ceremony to crash into the northern part of the island.
Fuel leaks from the ship's wreckage prompted ECHO to set up camps and outposts around the crash site to clean up the spreading fuel and prevent it from further contaminating Kings Canyon's waterways. Additionally, Caustic was granted permission to use a refurbished water treatment plant under the guise of assisting with the cleanup.
Season 14
Later in 2734, the salvage operation at the wreckage of Skull Town was completed. Kings Canyon was terraformed, returning a large swath of land to the crater, and Skull Town was partially rebuilt. Soon after, a ceremony was held in celebration of this task's completion.[1]
