Brick Mesa

Brick Mesa
Major Characters in Location	Prospero
Main Location of	The Maelstrom
Enemies	Unknown

Brick Mesa was a pocket in Wonderland. It had similarities to, and was to an extent a predecessor of, Crux Prime.

In an early storyline of LEGO Universe, one of the initial explorers of Planet Crux, Prospero, somehow sacrificed himself to protect Wonderland from the Maelstrom, merging with the landscape in the process. A Maelstrom rift formed nearby, held at bay by weaponry powered by Nimbus Coils in Prospero's hands and head.

Trivia

• The concept of a giant stone statue of a minifig was later used for the Monument in Avant Gardens.
• The area's name, sci-fi setting with invaders coming through a rift, and a crowbar vendor being marked on an early map, all parody Half-Life.
