The '''Battle of Site 6''' was a battle fought between the Iron Lords and the Warmind Rasputin over access to SIVA, a highly advanced nano-technology developed by the Clovis Bray Corporation for use in human colonisation efforts. The technology was in secure storage in Site-6 and the manufacturing center located there called the Replication Complex, under the charge of Rasputin. Rasputin had been dormant for centuries since the collapse, and without him or any other Warmind's assistance, SIVA had become unusable and faded away into distant memory. The Iron Lords attempted to awake Rasputin and convince it to help them use SIVA for the benefit of the City and Humanity. The Warmind, suspicious of the forces assembled against it, denied them the use of SIVA and activated his defences to drive them off, beginning the battle. The battle escalated as Rasputin's attack killed dozens of Iron Lords, forcing a retreat, a change of plan and an effort to destroy the Replication Chamber and contain the threat that SIVA now posed. The Iron Lords succeeded in detonating explosives inside the Chamber, severely damaging it and rendering the complex inoperable until the SIVA Crisis, when it was at last finally and totally destroyed by The Guardian.
