FIRST L8 PORTAL
By joining Silicon Valley Enlightened, you're part of the history of Ingress. On December 12, 2012, Enlightened agents in the bay area built the first level 8 portal in the world. The portal was The Gates of Hell, a Rodin sculpture on the Stanford University campus. This night marked the first time 8 level 8 agents came together to build level 8 portals. Visit the portal in person or on intel at https://intel.ingress.com/intel?ll=37.432501,-122.170774&z=17&pll=37.432501,-122.170774.
FIELDING HISTORY
In 2013, Enlightened teams in 5 major northern California regions, working in concert overnight and over 15 hours, blasted links through 3 major metropolitan areas, cut through the ocean side cities and out across the water to the top of The Lost Coast. 1,041km of links lit up an Enlightened control field you could see from the intel world view. Read more about Operation [Redacted] on the blog. The op was just the beginning of a long history of impressive green fields over the bay area and all new players are welcome to join us - there's nothing like the adrenalin of throwing a field with precision coordination and agents spread miles and hours apart across the map!
ANOMALY VICTORY
California Enlightened agents have won 13+ Ingress XM anomalies in a row through teamwork, strategy, and commitment. We hope to see you in person at the next one.
