Gaipan

History
Situated near central Earth Kingdom, Gaipan was once a sleepy little town of loggers and woodsman that has since been taken over by the Fire Nation and turned into an outpost. It has been occupied primarily by average citizens and soldiers for several years. To the west, a large, man-made dam holds a reservoir, which serves as the town's main source of water. The town is situated within a large forest, whose thick canopy serves as the Freedom Fighters' base of operations, a camouflaged system of huts connected by zip-lines, ladders, and rope bridges. The Freedom Fighters have strived to liberate the town from the Fire Nation and for years have been ambushing their patrol troops and cutting off their supply lines.



The occupants of Gaipan were all nearly killed when Jet and his Freedom Fighters filled and blew up the dam holding the excessive water supply, utterly flooding the entire town. Fortunately, Sokka was able to warn the citizens of the town and lead them away to safety before the plan was carried out.
