Rating Klurs Island

CDF Marine evening patrol in Aldea

Klurs island is a possession for the former Soviet republic of Chernarus formerly used as a prison island for enemies of the government.  It is arctic in climate and almost totally unsuitable for farming.  The prison is closed and reduced to rubble and disuse by residents scavenging for building materials.

Two settlements are in Klurs, both in the south.  Residences are scattered about the island, but most of the population are in the two main hamlets in the south, Desa and Aldea.  The total population is Klurs is less than 50 residents.

As for its strategic importance, according to the Chernarus Ministry of Defense, it has very little to offer an invading army.  It has no port and no airstrip to service aircraft.  Because of that, the only transport available is by ATV, motorcycle and bicycle.  The only pack animals available to residents of Klurs are the few cattle which graze on sparse grassland.

Only seaplanes and helicopters can land at Klurs.  Helo landing spots are at a premium in Klurs. Most of them are in the south.

Chernarusian Naval Forces (CNF) are said to have a contingent of about 20  marines which are deployed near the Old Mine in the north.  Resupply and other transport activities are done by light seaplane, by boat, and sometimes by helicopter.  A Klurs naval infantry assignment is considered the worst in the CNF.
