indar

Indar is a fictional continent on the planet Auraxis in PlanetSide 2, a massively multiplayer online first-person shooter developed by Daybreak Game Company. It is one of the original continents available at launch and serves as a central battleground for large-scale territorial warfare during matches and seasonal events.

Geography and environment: Indar features a desert climate with expansive canyons, dry riverbeds, and a dominant central mountain range. The terrain includes plateaus, ridges, and a number of urban outposts separated by wide valleys, creating a mix of long-range engagements and close-quarters assaults. The map design emphasizes chokepoints such as bridges and passes that shape assault and defense strategies.

Factions and objectives: The continent hosts the three factions—New Conglomerate, Terran Republic, and Vanu Sovereignty—each vying for control of a network of facilities, including research labs, amp stations, tech plants, and outposts. Controlling bases yields victory points, enabling territory expansion and resource accumulation for vehicle and aircraft support. The map supports infantry, armored, and air combat across varied terrain.

Development and reception: Since release, Indar has been a core component of PlanetSide 2’s gameplay, repeatedly updated to balance gameplay and introduce new bases or tweaks to terrain. It remains a frequent setting for in-game alerts and large-scale battles.
