Facilities Information

# Facility Designations

The Foundation maintains and operates a large number of facilities
worldwide, from small outposts with only a handful of staff to major
Sites with thousands of personnel.

## Site

Foundation facilities designated as Sites are *covert*
facilities, meaning that while existence of the facility is known to the
 public, such facilities are often disguised under government or
corporate fronts. Sites are often built in locations in relatively close
 proximity to civilian populations, where facilities would require such
cover.

## Area

Foundation facilities designated as Areas are *clandestine*
facilities, meaning that civilians are not aware of its existence at
all. Such facilities are often built far away from civilian populations
and may contain highly dangerous anomalies; the vast majority of Areas
have extreme fail-safe measures such as on-site nuclear warheads.

# Facility Sections

## Sector

Sectors are sections of Sites or Areas that are designated for
specific purposes, such as containment, research, or storage. The exact
usage of Sectors vary from facility to facility and is dependent on the
facility's primary purpose and size.

## Unit

Units are self-contained sections of Sites or Areas such as those
containing Biological or Dimensional anomalies and are designed to
self-seal in case of a breach or other catastrophic event. All personnel
 entering or exiting a Unit must typically undergo a full
decontamination procedure.

# Prefixes

These prefixes are often used to denote specializations of facilities
 or facility sections and are generally only used in internal
communication.

## Armed

Armed denotes a facility or facility section with abnormally high
physical security concerns, either due to containment of violent hostile
 entities or threat of outside attack. Such facilities typically have a
large amount of military-grade weaponry and vehicles as well as a
disproportionately large number of permanent security staff; in the case
 of a full facility, this typically entails a detachment of at least
battalion or regiment strength.

## Biological (Bio)

Biological containment facilities or facility sections deal with
infectious or otherwise biohazardous anomalies and are both isolated and
 self-contained to prevent the possible escape of such anomalies.

## Containment

Containment facilities or facility sections are primarily equipped
and intended for the containment of anomalous objects, entities, or
phenomena.

## Dimensional (Dim)

Dimensional containment facilities or facility sections deal with
extradimensional apertures or anomalies exhibiting inconsistent or
warped spacetime.

## Humanoid

Humanoid containment facilities or facility sections primarily deal
with sentient, sapient human or near-human entities capable of
understanding and complying with instructions. These are essentially
analogous to a prison facility for anomalous entities.

## Protected

Protected facilities and facility sections are "safe zones" kept free
 of anomalous influence. No anomalies are allowed within these
facilities at any time.

## Provisional

Provisional facilities are those that are established or built around
 an immobile anomaly. Provisional facilities typically contain only a
single anomaly.

## Reliquary

Reliquary facilities or facility sections are designed for handling
artifacts and objects of religious or historical significance.

## Research

Research facilities or facility sections are designed for either the
handling and study of anomalies or anomalous materials or research and
development of new containment schemes and methods.

## Storage

Storage facilities or facility sections are intended for long-term
storage of non-anomalous or inert anomalous objects with no risk of
autonomous interaction.

# Miscellaneous

These are Foundation facilities or locations that do not fall under the standard organizational structure.

## Observation Posts

Observation Posts are tiny facilities established in a multitude of
locations worldwide. Often limited to small standalone buildings or
single units within larger buildings, Observation Posts are typically
used to monitor regional communications for flagged content, as well as
monitor nearby Foundation facilities. Many Observation Posts are also
used as secure communications hubs or safe-houses by undercover
Foundation agents.

# Facilities List (Abridged)

The following is a partial list of notable Foundation facilities.
Please note that this list is incomplete; many Foundation facilities are
 not listed here due to operational security requirements or because
their purpose and/or location are classified. Many facility designations
 have also been recycled over time as the original facilities are
decommissioned or otherwise no longer in use.

## Sites
