Outpost Express

OPE Information

OPE was an underground high-speed boat network planned to be running through the Outpost, connecting the major population centres. Started in April 2022 as a link between Evergreen and Rotherhythe under the title "EGRK Expressway" - (Evergreen Rotherhythe Keep Expressway) the project grew to include other settlements out of a hub at the Outpost, due in part to the projects backing from the OPC. On April 1st 2023, the network was renamed to Outpost Express (OPE). As of 2025 the project has been dismissed as other long distance transit projects have gone on to fulfill the role of the Expressway.

OPE Ouest

OPE Ouest was the youngest proposed route on the network. It is due to only be a spur to La Cueva, which is the only major town on the Western Highway. The route was proposed after a potential interest in linkage was expressed. While it was potentially to be an extension of OPE Est. It was likely to obtain it's own name and colour for the purpose of making potential extension easier.
