Nova Corps Headquarters

The Nova Corps Headquarters is the main Nova Corps facility, located on Xandar.
==History==
In her office, Nova Prime Irani Rael appealed to the Kree Ambassador to condemn the actions of the Kree radical Ronan the Accuser, who had been massacring Xandarian outposts across the galaxy. The Ambassador refused to help, saying that he had more pressing matters to attend to. Denarian Garthan Saal then approached her and informed her that they had arrested one of Ronan's comrades, Gamora.
Several days later Star-Lord contacted Rhomann Dey and informed him of the Guardians of the Galaxy's plan to stop Ronan from destroying Xandar with the Orb acquired on Knowhere. Once he reached the Headquarters, Dey informed Rael of the message and gave his opinion that Star-Lord was sincere in his wish to help. The Nova Corps sent a fleet to aid the Guardians and the Ravagers.
A great battle took place in which the Nova Corps suffered heavy losses, but Ronan was killed and his army was defeated. The Guardians traveled to the Headquarters where Rael thanked them for saving Xandar. They gave Rael the Orb to keep it out of the wrong hands, and she locked it away to ensure this.
Four years later, however, Thanos initiated his own quest to obtain the Infinity Stones. He invaded Xandar, killing half of the planet's population, before infiltrating the Headquarters to obtain the Orb.Avengers: Infinity War

=====Closing the Shield=====
Nova Prime was in the headquarters when Ronan the Accuser attacked Xandar. Out of options, Rael decided to close the Planetary Shield, knowingly locking Xandar down for fifty years. Five years into the isolation, Rael made a deal with Ronan and tricked Nova Corpsman Nebula into getting her the source codes to the shield in order to open it back up.
Nebula gathered a team comprised of Howard the Duck, Miek, Groot and Korg and infiltrated the headquarters, approaching Rael, the Nova Corps and Yon-Rogg. Rael told her it was too late, but Nebula had rigged the codes, allowing the shield to close itself. Everyone watched from the headquarters as the shield killed Ronan.
Rael ordered the death of the rebel team as she walked away. Nebula followed Rael and was able to get onto her Star Blaster and take it down. Rael fell and found herself hanging from the ledge of the headquarters. Although Nebula tried to help, Rael shot at Nebula and missed, causing her to fall to her death. Meanwhile, the rest of the team took care of the Nova Corps with Korg killing Yon-Rogg and Garthan Saal. Nebula then stood victorious as the shield opened, allowing light into Xandar.What If...?: 2.01: What If... Nebula Joined the Nova Corps?
