Lunar Base STADIUS

Destroyed lunar base.

Space Time Continuum Task Force **Lunar Base STADIUS** is the official headquarters of the STCTF Generation Chiron. The base location was chosen to be on a remote lunar surface somewhere in the galaxy due to its great distance from any inhabited planet and its difficulty to locate. Between operations conducted by Generation Chiron, the team would use the base to reorganize and plan their next moves. The base was destroyed in a large scale battle against some enemy force aided by the Minutemen.

## History

### Past Use

Little is known about the base due to a data purge caused during the battle which resulted in the destruction of the base. Lunar Base STADIUS was once used as a garrison and planning location for the STCTF operators in Generation Chiron between missions. The base housed multiple facilities that could provide comfortable living spaces and utilities for operators despite the harsh climate of the planet.

### Discovery

Upon escaping from The Cogworks, the STCTF Generation Caduceus was warped to a large stone Time Gate on a hill overlooking the base. This was the first time the current generation had seen any sort of belongings of the previous unit aside from the corpses of old operators discovered during the Cogworks mission. Whilst fighting off straggling Minutemen who had still been lurking around the ruins of the base, the team was able to find an undamaged warp gate and use it to return to their own timelines.

## Facilities

The Lunar Base consisted of three major areas with various functions and amenities in each.

### Warp Garages

The first section of base possessed many of the habitats that housed Time Gates used in operations as well as weapon lockers and vehicle garages to store assets owned by Generation Chiron. The area was more heavily fortified than the other two, being surrounded by barbed wires and moon-dirt sandbags. In the center of the base were two large mounted energy cannon emplacements that provided fire support for base defence. There were also three Time Gate garage habitats each with their own operational gate.

### Intelligence Band

This area comprised of two main sections: a radar station and a datacenter. The radar station was likely used to scan for abnormalities approaching the base from both land and air in the event of an attack.

The datacenter was used to store all relevant information on anything related to Generation Chiron including operators, missions, enemies, technologies, etc. Due to the rules set in place by the STCTF Codex, all data from the datacenter would be immediately (and irreversibly) purged upon the decommissioning of the principle operator. However, since Generation Chiron was disjointed at some point in time, some operators were not decommissioned and thus the overlap between the two generations occurred.

### Command Center

The final area of the base was the command center habitat cluster which comprised of living garrisons for operators, command rooms, Epochium storage facilities, medical bays, and the central Command Mainframe System (CMS). This main area consisted of a series of interconnected pressurized habitats that each served its own purpose for the unit. One of the most prominent features of this area is the primary server room that houses the CMS assistant—the artificial intelligence subconscious of The Orb that passively manages all base functions and actively assists the team.

Other notable areas include the primary communications array—a massive satellite relay system to communicate with operators far beyond the reaches of spacetime—and a private Time Gate system operated and protected by the CMS for emergency situations.
