Sanctuary

Sanctuary, also called Chitauri Space, is an asteroid field inhabited by the Chitauri and the domain of Thanos.
== History ==
=== Chitauri Invasion ===
When Loki fell from Asgard and into a wormhole, he was transported to Sanctuary. There, he struck a deal with Thanos to control Earth in exchange for control over the Chitauri, whom Loki planned to use to subjugate Earth. Loki used the Scepter while on Sanctuary to remotely activate the Tesseract, which was on Earth, triggering a wormhole that connected Sanctuary and the Joint Dark Energy Mission Facility on Earth. However, during the Battle of New York, Iron Man flew a nuclear missile through the wormhole into Chitauri space, destroying the Chitauri Command Center and ceasing the invasion before he fell back through to Earth.

* The coordinates for the Sanctuary are N5X2 1O6311411+2123518.
