History

The Cannon Reserve faction of the Subnautica universe emerged near the end of the Forerunner-Quant War, around 1280. Devastated by the widespread destruction and loss of resources, a group of survivors turned to a new path of existence. With a shared vision of conservation, they established Cannon Reserve.
The main purpose of the faction is to protect the fragile biomes of planet 4546B and the diverse marine life that inhabits it. Named after Captain Joel Cannon, a war hero whose passion for marine conservation was legendary, the faction believes in the harmony of technology and ecology. 1296 AE, Cannon Reserve successfully negotiated a non-aggression pact with the Quantum Hegemony. The agreement resulted in the restoration of many underwater habitats previously destroyed during the Forerunner-Quantum War.
Over the centuries, the faction has developed advanced conservation techniques to ensure that marine life is minimally affected when harvesting resources. Their technological prowess is close to the level of the Forerunner, though focused on durability rather than warfare.
But Cannon Reserve has learned the hard way not to underestimate the challenges the sea poses, both internally and externally. 1355 The AE Faction faced the threat of the Behemoth Leviathan and lost the reserve's main outpost. However, the faction has recovered, stronger and wiser than before.
The history of the Cannon Reserve faction is a testament to resilience, the harmony of progress and preservation, and the indomitable spirit of humanity. They continue to protect the waters of 4546B and ensure that the complex ecosystem thrives for future generations to see and explore.

Legacy and Impact

The legacy and impact of the Cannon Reserve faction in the Subnautica universe cannot be overstated. Founded on the principles of sustainable habitats and green engineering, this faction has revolutionized underwater exploration and survival strategies. The Cyclops, a multi-person submersible they developed, revolutionized underwater exploration, enabling them to continue exploring and endure the unstable marine environment. The Prawn Suit, another major invention, synthesized solid exploration with resource extraction, adding a new dimension to underwater mining. In addition, Cannon Reserve's values have fostered a unique combination of scientific curiosity and respect for the environment among its members. After Cannon, pro-environmental attitudes took deep root in the factions, minimizing disruption to local marine life while still pursuing inherent exploration agendas. The Princes of the Cannon Reserve faction take on greater significance on a planet completely submerged in water, highlighting their invaluable contributions that continue to inspire generations to come in the Subnautica universe.
