“Engineers comprise another crucial part in DARKDAWN’s total military force. Though lacking in advanced combat skills, and thus vulnerable when exposed on the battlefield or behind enemy lines, engineers are capable of repairing almost any broken machinery or piece of hardware in record time. Their skill with the tools of their trade and their speed with their hands and brains allows them to conserve precious time and increase the chances of a mission’s success. Often wielding short submachine guns, and covered in storage pouches, engineers are always handy and ready to tackle any misbehaving piece of machinery, resolving the situation as fast as they know how.”
Primary Weapon of Choice: Short Submachine Gun
Secondary Weapon(s) of Choice: (Wrench?)
Effective #Units per Assignment: As Needed

Built: 1892 - Engineer: St G Caulfield (PWD)
Batu Gajah, along with the nearby towns of Gopeng and Papan are situated in the Kinta district of Perak and were once bustling tin mining towns. In 1881, Batu Gajah was the river port for the nearby Papan tin mines. In 1884, Batu Gajah was selected to become the centre of administration for the Kinta district. Hence, it was home to most of the Government Offices. In the later half of the 1800s, the booming tin mining industry in the Kinta Valley was the catalyst for the influx of large numbers of Chinese workers seeking their fortunes working the mines. Consequently, the period 1879 to 1891 saw the population of the Kinta district increase by approximately 50,000. The district also had rubber plantations.
In 1892, an imposing Government Office Complex, comprising three adjacent buildings, was built on tableland called ‘Changkat’. The complex provided office accommodation for the Land Department, the Collector, the Chinese Protectorate and the Treasury. The complex also housed a Court.
Changkat was the European quarter of Batu Gajah and is situated about two miles away from what later became known as 'Batu Gajah Old Town'.
A short passage in the book 'Twentieth Century Impressions of British Malaya...', published in colonial times (1908), describes Batu Gajah in the following manner:
'Batu Gajah, twenty minutes by train from Ipoh, derives its importance chiefly from the fact that it is the centre of administration for the Kinta district. Most of the Government offices in the district are there situated, and altogether form an imposing pile of buildings. The European population is larger than in the purely mining towns, and as a result there are numbers of picturesque houses occupying advantageous positions on hilly ground. A fine racecourse and golf links, together with a club and similar institutions, provide the means of recreation. There is a hospital for Europeans, and an English Church (Holy Trinity), which draws its congregation from the Kinta district…’

Hastings
Hastings is a large seaside town in East Sussex on the south coast, 24 miles (39 km) east of the county town of Lewes, and 53 mi (85 km) south east of London.
The town gives its name to the Battle of Hastings.
In the 19th. century, Hastings was a popular seaside resort, as the railway allowed tourists and visitors to reach the town.
Today, Hastings is a fishing port with the UK's largest beach-based fishing fleet. The fleet has been based on the same beach, below the cliffs, for at least 400, and possibly up to 600, years. Its longevity is attributed to the prolific fishing ground of Rye Bay nearby.
The town had a population of 92,855 in 2018.
Hastings in Pre-History
Evidence of prehistoric settlements has been found at the town site, including flint arrowheads and Bronze Age artefacts.
Iron Age forts have been excavated on both the East and West Hills. The settlement was already based on the port when the Romans arrived in Britain for the first time in 55 BC. They began to exploit the iron (Wealden rocks provide a plentiful supply of the ore), and shipped it out by boat.
Iron was worked locally at Beauport Park, to the north of the town. It employed up to a thousand men, and is thought to have been the third-largest mine in the Roman Empire.
With the departure of the Romans, the town suffered setbacks. The Beauport site was abandoned, and the town suffered attacks from nature and early adversaries.
The Sussex coast has always suffered from occasional violent storms, and with the additional hazard of longshore drift (the eastward movement of shingle along the coast), the coastline has been frequently changing. The original Roman port is probably now under the sea.
Medieval Hastings
The Battle of Hastings heralded the start of the Norman Conquest. The battle was fought on the 14th. October 1066, although it actually took place 8 miles (13 km) to the north at Senlac Hill, and William had landed on the coast between Hastings and Eastbourne at Pevensey.
Muslim scholar Muhammad al-Idrisi, writing circa 1153, described Hastings as:
"A town of large extent and many inhabitants,
flourishing and handsome, having markets,
workpeople and rich merchants".
Hastings and the Sea
By the end of the Saxon period, the port of Hastings had moved eastward to near the present town centre in the Priory Stream valley, whose entrance was protected by the White Rock headland (since demolished).
It was to be a short stay: Danish attacks and huge floods in 1011 and 1014 motivated the townspeople to relocate to the New Burgh.
In the Middle Ages Hastings became one of the Cinque Ports.
Much of the town and half of Hastings Castle was washed away in the South England flood of February 1287.
During a naval campaign of 1339, and again in 1377, the town was raided and burnt by the French, and seems then to have gone into a decline. As a port, Hastings' days were finished.
Hastings had suffered over the years from the lack of a natural harbour. Attempts were made to build a stone harbour during the reign of Elizabeth I, but the foundations were destroyed by the sea in terrible storms. Accordingly the town's fishing boats are still stored on, and launched from, the beach.
Hastings was then just a small fishing settlement, but it was soon discovered that the new taxes on luxury goods could be made profitable by smuggling; the town was ideally located for that purpose.
Near the castle ruins, on the West Hill, are St. Clement's Caves, partly natural, but mainly excavated by hand by smugglers from the soft sandstone.
Their trade came to an end with the period following the Napoleonic Wars, for the town became one of the most fashionable resorts in Britain, brought about by the so-called health-giving properties of seawater, as well as the local springs and Roman baths.
The double decker promenade that runs from Hastings Pier beyond Marine Court, with a break at Warrior Square, was built by the borough engineer Sidney Little.
The building of Pelham Crescent necessitated cutting away of the Castle Hill cliffs. Once that move away from the old town had begun, it led to the further expansion along the coast, eventually linking up with the new St. Leonards.
Judges Postcards
Between 1902 and 1919, Fred Judge FRPS photographed many of the town's events and disasters. These included storms, the first tram, the visit of the Lord Mayor of London, Hastings Marathon Race, and the pier fire of 1917.
Many of these images were produced as picture postcards by the firm he founded which is now known as Judges Postcards.
Hastings' Bathing Pool
In the 1930's, an Olympic-sized bathing pool was erected. Regarded in its day as one of the best open-air swimming and diving complexes in Europe, it later became a holiday camp before closing in 1986. It was demolished, but the area is still known by locals as "The Old Bathing Pool".
Hastings' Sunshine
Hastings, tied with Eastbourne, recorded the highest duration of sunshine of any month anywhere in the United Kingdom - 384 hours - in 1911.
A new record temperature of 34.7 °C (94.5 °F) was recorded for the town on the 19th. July 2022.
St. Leonards
The original part St. Leonards was bought by James Burton and laid out by his son, the architect Decimus Burton, in the early 19th. century as a new town: a place of elegant houses designed for the well-off.
It also included a central public garden, a hotel, an archery, assembly rooms and a church. Today's St. Leonards has extended well beyond that original design, although the original town still exists within it.
Priory Meadow Shopping Centre
Hastings' main shopping centre is the Priory Meadow Shopping Centre. It was built on the site of the old Central Recreation Ground which had played host to some Sussex CCC first-class fixtures, and famous cricketers such as Dr. W. G. Grace and Sir Don Bradman.
The Central Recreation Ground was one of England's oldest, most scenic and most famous cricket grounds. The first match was played there in 1864, and the last in 1989, after which the site was redeveloped into the shopping centre. The centre houses 56 stores, and covers around 420,000 square feet.
Marine Court
On the seafront at St. Leonards is Marine Court, a 1938 block of flats in the Art Deco style that was originally called 'The Ship' due to its style being based upon the ocean liner RMS Queen Mary.
Marine Court can be seen from 20 miles (32 km) away on a clear day from Eastbourne.
The Memorial
An important former landmark was the Memorial, a clock tower commemorating Albert the Prince Consort which stood for many years at the traffic junction in the town centre, but was demolished following an arson attack in the 1970's.
The Hastings Miniature Railway
The Hastings Miniature Railway operates along the beach from Rock-a-Nore to Marine Parade, and has provided tourist transport since 1948. The railway was considerably restored and re-opened in 2010.
Hastings' Tram Network
Hastings had a network of trams from 1905 to 1929. The trams ran as far as Bexhill, and were worked by overhead electric wires.
Notable People
Many notable figures were born, raised, or lived in Hastings, including computer scientist Alan Turing, poet Fiona Pitt-Kethley, actress Gwen Watford, comedian Jo Brand and Madness singer Suggs.

Anna Brassey
Baroness Anna "Annie" Brassey was born in London on the 7th. October 1839. Annie was an English traveller and writer. Her bestselling book 'A Voyage in the Sunbeam, our Home on the Ocean for Eleven Months' (1878) describes a voyage around the world.
Anna Brassey - The Early Years
Annie Brassey was born Anna Allnutt. As a child, she faced serious health problems. In his preface to Annie's book 'The Last Voyage', her husband recalled that she suffered from an inherited "weakness of the chest", apparently a form of chronic bronchitis.
As a young woman, she also suffered severe burns when she stood too close to a fireplace and her skirt caught fire. It took six months for her to recover from them.
Annie's Marriage to Lord Brassey
In 1860, she married the English Member of Parliament Thomas Brassey (knighted in 1881, becoming Earl Brassey in 1886), with whom she lived near his Hastings constituency. Thomas was born in 1836 and died in 1918.
The couple had five children together before they travelled aboard their luxury yacht Sunbeam. The yacht was said to have been named after their daughter - Lady Constance Alberta - who was nicknamed Sunbeam; she died of scarlet fever, aged four, on the 24th. January 1873.
The golden figurehead of the yacht depicting Constance is at the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London.
Annie's Travels and Publications
'A Voyage in the Sunbeam', describing their journey round the world in 1876–1877 with a complement of 43, including family, friends and crew, ran through many English editions, and was translated into at least five languages.
Her accounts of later voyages include 'Sunshine and Storm in the East' (1880); 'In the Trades, the Tropics, and the Roaring Forties' (1885); and 'The Last Voyage' (1889, published posthumously).
Annie had published privately earlier works including 'A Flight of the Meteor', detailing two cruises in the Mediterranean on their earlier yacht Meteor, and 'A Voyage in the Eothen', a description of their travels to Canada and the United States in 1872.
In July 1881, King Kalākaua of Hawaii, who had been greatly pleased with her description of his kingdom, was entertained at Normanhurst Castle, and invested Lady Brassey with the Royal Order of Kapiolani.
Annie was also involved with the publication of Colonel Henry Stuart-Wortley's 'Tahiti, a Series of Photographs' (1882).
The Death and Legacy of Lady Brassey
Lady Brassey's last voyage on the Sunbeam was to India and Australia, undertaken in November 1886 in order to improve her health. On the way to Mauritius, Annie died of malaria at the age of 47 on the 14th. September 1887, and was buried at sea.
At home in England, she had performed charitable work, largely for the St. John Ambulance Association. Her collection of ethnographic and natural history material was shown in a museum at her husband's London house until it was moved to Hastings Museum in 1919. There are also several photograph albums and other ephemera held at Hastings Library.
However, the vast majority of her photograph albums are now housed in the Huntington Library, San Marino, California. The collection of 70 albums, each containing 72 to 80 thick board pages, contains pre-eminent examples of historical travel.
The albums contain works by Annie and others she collected, including those of commercial photographers. Annie herself was an accomplished photographer. She joined the Royal Photographic Society in 1873 and remained a member until her death. She exhibited some of her work in its exhibitions in 1873 and 1886.
Lady Brassey was survived by four of her five children:
-- Thomas Brassey, 2nd Earl Brassey
-- Lady Mabelle Brassey
-- Muriel Sackville, Countess De La Warr
-- Marie Freeman-Thomas, Marchioness of Willingdon.

One of the engineers from the Borzhava Narrow Gauge Railway works on TU2 034 (ТУ2 034) in the railway's workshop at Berehove (Берегове) on 21st October 2019. We weren't able to understand what the problem was due to little common language but he was fairly confident that the loco would be repaired in time for the next day of operation on the Thursday of that week. Unfortunately we would be in a different part of the country by then so wouldn't be in a position to make a return visit. The photographs of the loco in the depot were a reasonable consolation prize though!
