The Silver Strand is Zone 1 in Sonny (2017), appearing in Chapter 1: Landfall. It is a coastline filled with your average zombie, the occasional rabid hellhound, and a roaming super zombie. Veradux is also introduced fighting off a horde of zombies.
This section contains spoilers for certain events from the games. You have been warned.
Sonny, having just left the White November, reaches the coast on a lifeboat. He gets to kill a few zombies before coming across Veradux in a last stand, ready to fight to the death. After helping him out, the two chat for a bit and decide to head to Basecamp.
On the way there, they kill more zombies, a few Firespitters, and get to know each other better. Once they reach Basecamp, they find it burnt to the ground by ZPCI Forces lead by Captain Vendara. He tells the two the praetor himself ordered it as the camp's residents were about to turn and that he's been personally waiting for Sonny to kill him, a form of revenge for what he did to Sergeant Meier.
After a brief fight that seems unwinnable, the Captain gets an order to evacuate from The Praetor due to the presence of a Red pattern threat that's rapidly approaching the area. The duo uses their spare time to dig graves for those killed in the attack, and just as they finish, that Red pattern threat, Vileclaw, shows up.
Following a long and hard fight, the super zombie is killed. Veradux tells Sonny that the local folk used to talk about some crazy scientist who lives in Tera Jungle. Sonny decides that the trip will be worth it, as the scientist could possibly tell Sonny more about him and who he is. The two then head there.

There's 5 common rarity item drops and 1 rare rarity item drop, of which the latter is dropped from the zone boss fight against Vileclaw. 4 common rarity items (the "InfectAid" set) are already equipped on Veradux, and can be accessed when Veradux joins the party.

The background contains a bunch of wind turbines. Because Veradux said the cities in the vicinity all got annihilated, perhaps The Silver Strand was supposed to generate power for the cities.
Cpt. Vendara (Variant 1) can be beaten, but it will require planning and a lot of training. Beating Cpt. Vendara has no special effect, the game simply proceeds as normal while skipping over the story scene where Vendara is ordered to fall back. This is because the scene is tied to the trigger which keeps track of Sonny's HP.
There is a beach in San Diego, California called the Silver Strand State Beach, with a tombolo 7 miles long called the Silver Strand, more simply The Strand.
