'''Katabatic''' takes place on a snowy wasteland. The developers created this map as a successor to the [[Tribes 2]] map of the same name. The interior of the bases has a very zen feel to it with waterfalls and sand gardens. This map is available for Capture and Hold, Capture the Flag, and CTF Blitz modes.

== Design ==
The main base consists of a small structure that the flag sits on, and a small tower that is connected to it by a small bridge. The rest of the base is underground, which can be accessed via a tunnel, or the small structure the flag sits upon. There are two [[Tribes: Ascend/Base Turret|base turrets]], one on either side of the flag for the [[Diamond Sword]] base, and in front of and behind the [[Blood Eagle]] base. The [[Tribes: Ascend/Radar Sensor|radar sensor]] is on top of the small tower behind the flag. There are four [[Tribes: Ascend/Inventory Station|inventory stations]] in the underground base, two on the first level, and two on the lowest level. The main difference between the two bases is that the main base is more difficult to enter on the Blood Eagle base, whereas, there is a direct path to the Diamond Sword entrance. It is also easier to sneak into the Blood Eagle's tunnel, where you are more likely to be seen entering the Diamond Sword tunnel.

The generator room is in the underground section of the base, and can be accessed either by the tunnel or main entrance. The [[Tribes: Ascend/Generator|generator]] itself sits on a bridge spanning a pit. There are tunnels that lead to and around the generator from the tunnel entrance. The main entrance has grav-shafts that drop to the lowest level.

Off to the side of the base is the [[Tribes: Ascend/Vehicle Station|vehicle station]].

== Strategies ==
===Flag===
The open access to the flag allows [[Tribes: Ascend/Pathfinder|Pathfinders]] to quickly grab the flag and get out if the flag is not defended properly. Since the flag is so exposed, defenses must be spread out, making them less effective. There is plenty of room for [[Tribes: Ascend/Technician|Technicians]] to place their turrets, and [[Tribes: Ascend/Doombringer|Doombringers]] can place [[Tribes: Ascend/Mine|Mines]] or [[Tribes: Ascend/Force Field|Force Fields]]. Having a [[Tribes: Ascend/Beowulf|Beowulf]] nearby is very nice to have, as it can sit on a hill and blast the flag stand.

===Generator===
The generator can be easily accessed via the tunnel, and is large enough that a Beowulf can drive into it, with enough room to maneuvar and fire its cannon without damaging itself. The bridge that the generator sits on is large enough to accomodate all projectiles. [[Tribes: Ascend/Infiltrator|Infiltrators]] have plenty of room to get around and hide.
