You only need to have the "Rougtero" side of the nexus to control it since
that is the only way to come through. If you are in another dimension and
want to go to another you have to come out on Jearn first and then reenter
and end up at your real destination. The Nexus is kindof a forced rest stop.

Also Rougtero is a couple of mets south-east of the nexus. It is just a little
north of the Enclave in the woods. There is no huge accessable beach that is
exactly convienient. Nearby yes, immediate no.

And with a few exceptions most of the great sea wall is acting as an artificial
atol and is intact. 2 places I know of that the wall is down is at Port Haven
and by West End, where they did some demolition work to make them a stopping
port on the way to Rougtero.
