Saturn's Mansion

Saturn's Mansion is the house of Dr Saturn as well as his base of operations. The building is mainly composed of simple concrete blocks with lots of windows of various sizes.
==Development==
Originally, Dr Saturn commissioned the mansion as a summer dwelling when he used to operate in an underwater laboratory, but eventually moved there permamently alongside Charles and later his girlfriend, Alice Marbleford. This backstory however might get retconned soon as an attempt to decanonize the underwater lab.
==Overview==
===Us vs. Us===
The mansion first appeared in Us vs. Us revealed to be Dr Saturn's summer house as well as the response to Spymankiller's mansion. In the series, the building appears to be yellow in colour as well as very chaotic in structure. Its exact location wasn't specified yet as Finledge wasn't a thing until much later.
The mansion serves as the main base of operations during the series, where a couple of its rooms are introduced. It was said, that the mansion features a huge pool with water slides, however it was never shown.
===Party Hard===
While unfinished, this installment introduced the mansion in the form we know today. It was meant to be the center of a huge rave party organized by the gang during Spy's absence. It's unclear why everyone was present in the mansion during the events of the series.
===Corrupted Chaos===
In the video, Saturn's mansion returns after a long absence with its new fresh design being based on The Thunder's sneak peeks. In the mansion, Dr Saturn, Phil, Spy and Droppy are preparing a birthday party for OkiWan, who soon breaks into the mansion corrupted by the Power Aura.
===The Thunder===
The new remodelled mansion appears again in the one-hour special, where it serves as a shelter for everyone hiding from the storm. Because the vast majority of the installment takes place inside the building, it introduces a lot of new rooms never seen before. The mansion eventually gets flooded by heavy rain and the water rises flooding the rooms on all floors causing everyone to sit on the roof. It is also where Fari landed before he was damaged by the druids' beam from Stonehenge.
In the video, it was also revealed, that the mansion was built on a mysterious ancient cave, where a stone slab with engraved instructions on how to seal Fari was located.
A scrapped scene during the ending was meant to show Saturn's mansion being renovated after the flood.
===Core Inbound===
In the series, only the lab section of the mansion appears, where the scientist gang initially researches Vitreous before moving to Amber's Operation's headquarters.
===Cloak of Murk===
Its next appearance is in the Cloak of Murk series, where it only appears in the first part as a place for the usual sleepover. Dr Rex arrives to the mansion after temporarily leaving BSoD's Gang in order to team up with Spyman's Cosmos to defeat them. After leaving to confront BSoD and his new ally, Trauma, the mansion is not seen again.
===Down in the Mines===
The mansion only appears in the ending, where Alice researches the clutfunium crystal, that Charles brought home. The series ends with a shot of Saturn, Alice and Charles on one of the mansion's many balconies as they watch the sunset excited about their next adventures.
==Interior==
===Hallways and halls===
The mansion obviously has a lot of hallways and halls used to get to other rooms. All hallways are gray with a wooden flooring and are decorated with posters, paintings and potted plants. A staircase is used to get to upper levels, though The Thunder confirmed the existence of an elevator as well. Almost all the doors leading to rooms have a sign hung on them.
===Living room===
A very large living room is located on the second floor. Its most iconic shot features a green couch, a red and green rug, sometimes a TV and a small corridor leading to the darkness, presumably to the staircase tower. The one shot of the living room is most commonly used, however another angle of it exists in The Thunder, where Joseph explains the discovery of the ancient cave. The living room's huge window is the largest one seen from the outside, however, it was never seen from the inside.
===Kitchen and dining area===
The kitchen is located on the bottom floor and it's connected to a dining area with pale yellow walls. While the dining area was introduced in later installments, the kitchen itself was introduced as early as Us vs. Us 2/4.
=== Laboratory ===
The laboratory is the most commonly used room in all of the mansion's appearances. It consists of a tiled table, cabinets, alembics and test tubes, a large periodic table hung on the wall, a blackboard and shelves. It's located on the fourth floor and it's unclear how Joseph enters it.
=== Basement ===
The basement is a room located beneath the mansion with the entrance to its staircase being located in one of the hallways. It's where Droppy and Dropputer reside, as well as Dr Rex, Jack Jester and Frank during the events of The Thunder. The basement consists of a single table next to the entrance, an electronic piano, subwoofers and speakers, drawers, a "DTG" poster on the wall and an off-screen bed.
=== Bedrooms ===
The mansion has countless bedrooms for each respective character, the most distinctive being Lenny's room seen in The Thunder.
=== Garage ===
A large garage on the bottom floor is where Rex, Joseph and Ryan reside, similarily to Phil's Mansion. In The Thunder, Rex and Blank Tank find the ancient cave just beneath the garage.
=== Waterpark ===
While never seen in any series, the existence of a pool with waterslides was confirmed in Us vs. Us. Despite a waterpark existing in the mansion, the gang goes to a separate waterpark far away from the mansion.

* Outside of the main series, Saturn's mansion would sometimes appear in a side info series Saturn Time.
* It's the tallest of all three mansions, having six storeys in total.
