Saint Olga

St. Olga was a relatively large coastal village that was planned to be a part of the Highway 17 chapter but was dropped during the game's development. This place can be revisited however in Half-Life 2: Lost Coast. St. Olga was planned to be a Byzantine monastery with a single inhabitant, a somewhat middle aged fisherman. The monastery acted as a Combine staging area for the launching of headcrab shells which players were able to see operate in real-time. As the game progresses a few dozen headcrab shells target St. Olga and leave it in a fiery mess. It is impossible to reach the village. Like all of the other resistance bases, St. Olga came under attack by Combine soldiers and a hunter-chopper. Not much else is known about St. Olga and only a small portion of the area can be explored.
