Junon is the Shinra Electric Power Company's military base of operations. It is the home of the Sister Ray, the mako cannon which played a crucial role in the Wutai War. At the foot of Junon, under the airport, is a small fishing community.
Getting There and Around
Junon is located on a small cliffside overlooking the Eastern Continent's western shore, to the south of a winding river, and northwest of the Condor Reactor (aka "Fort Condor"). Once at the fishing village under Junon, the fortress itself can be reached from a service elevator located at the end of the fishing village, provided one has the proper clearance. Junon also has facilities available for Shinra personnel traveling by sea or air.
Inside Junon, areas that can't be accessed by walking are connected via elevator. In addition, an air taxi service is available on the Dock Corridor for members of the Shinra military.
Points of Interest
Under Junon - This small fishing village is free for anyone to visit! Come see the massive might of Shinra up close and personal, while enjoying the warm hospitality of this cozy town. The fishing may not be as great as it used to be, but the beach is still home to vibrant blue waters, perfect for swimming.
Junon Airport - This airport, like the rest of Junon, was originally built to serve Shinra's military forces during the war, and today, it still plays an important role in Shinra's various operations. Besides housing many Gelinka-class cargo planes, the Junon Airport is also the home to the famous airship Highwind, named after Shinra's star pilot, Captain Cid Highwind.
Junon Seaport - Like the airport, Junon's Seaport is a bustling transportation hub for Shinra's military and civilian operations. Here, visitors can book passage on one of the daily voyages to Costa del Sol.
The Sister Ray - This mighty weapon, the first and only one of its kind, operates entirely on mako. Since the Wutai War ended, some parts of the main operations rooms have been made available to approved visitors. If you'd like a tour, please call ahead for reservations.
The Underwater Reactor - One of Shinra's most recently built reactors, this underwater marvel suppiles energy for all of Junon's shops, offices, and military facilities. Please note that, like all mako reactors, access the Underwater Reactor is restricted to select Shinra personnel.
