Why It Mattered
It records the village's post-pandemic return-lineage badge and ties the artifact to Recon Village's global surveillance and OSINT visual vocabulary.
Hardware
The official Badge Life archive documents the circular radar design, world map overlay, teal/emerald color scheme, compass and coordinate markings, and electronic-badge lineage. It does not publish technical components, schematic, firmware, PCB files, battery details, or build counts.
Software & Apps
No public firmware, badge challenge, protocol, or repository was recovered for this badge in this pass.
Lore
The official page frames the badge around a Global Surveillance theme and says the radar sweep design embodied the global reconnaissance theme.

Issues & Camp Impact
missing rights-cleared image
note
No Recon Village DC30 badge image is published because the official Badge Life page and site footer do not provide explicit reusable image rights, attribution, and processing provenance for catalogue publication.
The entry remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying official page imagery, screenshots, social media, or generated visuals.

technical-source gap
note
The official page proves the circular radar design, world map overlay, teal and emerald color scheme, compass markings, and coordinate markings, but no schematic, firmware, BOM, controller, battery, or production files were recovered.
The catalogue records the verified artifact without inventing component-level electronics or source-release status.
