Want to see exactly what (parts of) Alpha Complex looks like in my own mind, I mean exactly? Check out this Russian-language LiveJournal blog post of pictures of an old Soviet submarine base built between 1957 and 1961 and operated until 1995. Never mind the first bunch of photos; check the ones toward the end.
RPG.net user and loyal citizen Oddsod Blok’ed, who reviews PARANOIA supplements as “Matthew,” writes, “I believe [the base is] in the Black Sea near Balaclava — I don’t know much Russian and that’s pretty rusty. I think the later pictures on the page could be handy for PARANOIA fans who want to know what Alpha Complex industry, power plants and military bases look like.” Commendation point, Matthew!
It’s been too many decades since my high-school Russian classes, so I’m useless here, and Google doesn’t translate Russian yet. If anyone can read the backstory of this base, please post the translation in the comments.
