Date of Circulation: October 30th, 2014 - July 30th, 2015

Era of Creation: Early Pre-Alpha


Sulaco V1, just "Sulaco" at the time was the first Marine ship map used on colonial marines before being phased out in favour of its successor, Sulaco V2, due to an ever expanding population in July 2015. It has since been retired and only makes occasional appearances for April fools.

Era of Creation: Early Alpha


Sulaco V2, just "Sulaco" at the time was the revamped version of the Sulaco V1 and was the first marine ship and also map to use multiple z-levels to simulate different levels of the map, in this case decks of a ship. It was later phased out in favour of its successor, the USS Almayer, due to an ever expanding population in April 2017. It has since been retired and has not made an appearance since.

Era of Creation: Early Omega


The USS Almayer is the latest marine ship to be released on colonial marines and is by far the largest due to the population growth that the server has witnessed in recent years. The USS Almayer was the first map and marine ship to fully incorporate perspective sprites for the entirety of the map.

LV-624 was the successor map to the Nostromo and was additionally the first ground map to be introduced into Colonial marines. The map itself was created by Absynth and then tweaked later by other developers to keep the map fresh and balanced.
