Amity Communications Tower

Amity Communications Tower is a planned communications satellite that James Ironwood intends to launch.

Description
It will be a tall, cylindrical tower that tapers toward the top, with support cables connected to the bottom section. The tower itself will be attached to the top of Amity Colosseum.

History
Shortly after their arrival in the Kingdom of Atlas, Team RWBY, Team JNPR, Qrow Branwen and Oscar Pine are apprehended by the Ace Ops for arriving in a stolen Manta and their unauthorized use of weapons while defending Mantle from Sabyrs. They are taken to Ironwood as prisoners and are then unbound and taken to his office where he explains his plan.

Atlas scientists are working on building the tower and making Amity Colosseum capable of being launched high enough into the atmosphere that it cannot be reached by Grimm. The tower will then restore global communications, effectively replacing the Cross Continental Transmit System. Ironwood intends to reveal Salem's existence the people of Atlas and then use Amity Communications Tower to do the same for the rest of the world.

Although they have concerns about the plan, RWBY, JNPR and Qrow agree to help. The first step they take is helping the Ace Ops secure an abandoned Dust mine as the tower's launch pad.
