Anchorage is a city in Alaska. It was also the target of a major Kaiju attack in 2020.[1]

History[]

The home of Rangers Yancy and Raleigh Becket, Anchorage has a population of about two million people. It was also one of the cities on the Pacific Rim that was chosen as a site for the construction of a Shatterdome once the Jaeger Program was authorized by the Pan Pacific Defense Corps.

In 2020, the Category III Kaiju Knifehead approached Anchorage at night during a violent storm with the intent to attack it. It slipped past Romeo Blue when the Mark-1 Jaeger was deployed to defend the city's ten-mile mark, but was intercepted by Gipsy Danger, piloted by the Becket brothers, at the Miracle Mile before it could make landfall.

The Kaiju was killed, but not before severely damaging Gipsy Danger and ripping away a large piece of the Jaeger's Conn-Pod, taking Yancy with it. Following Knifehead's death, Raleigh was able to pilot the Jaeger long enough on his own to reach the shores of Anchorage, where it was later picked up by the Defense Corps for repairs.

Knifehead's attack, though foiled, was a significant development in the Kaiju War. It was the first attack in which a Kaiju displayed cunning and strategy, and it was also the first time that a Jaeger was dropped from active service and a Ranger was directly killed by a Kaiju.[1]
