Area 91

The **Area 91** is a well-known research facility. It is a top-secret Panamoan "airbase" that stores advanced aircraft, extraterrestrial technology, and the Azimuth, a crashed Azrean warship. The site has remained intact even after years of strife. Since its beginnings, the SCIA has concealed its existence, until it became public knowledge in the late twenty-first century, earning it the fitting, official name of Lahart Zalk Facility. The government renamed it the *Centre of Alien Research* when it was made public.

## Overview

Area 91 was established as a research facility that housed the Azimuth warship as well as several other items such as alien limbs, technology, and next-generation aircraft. The facility includes a deep-level hangar where the spaceship is guarded and preserved, which means they do not tamper with the crashed spacecraft's remains other than to study them, as well as a vault containing the buried corpses of the vessel's little passengers, dubbed "The dead show" by the base's staff members. It is notable for possessing a number of classified technologies that do not belong to the planet Nexonia Prime.

The government of Panamoa denied the existence of Area 91 and its possessions, dismissing it as a sensational conspiracy theory. Only a few people in the government were aware of its existence. Former SCIA Director and Secretary of Defense Dirk Doncic stated that the President and other high-ranking government officials were kept unaware of the facility's existence for the sake of "plausible deniability." Funding for Area 91 was dependent on a black budget that was secretly funnelled from the Panamoan congress, as part of the national budget responsible for testing classified technology in the military in which aircraft and weaponry were enhanced through reverse engineering alien tech.

### Notable Technology

Being the centre of alien research, Area 91 is home to cutting-edge technology, the majority of which appears to be highly classified. It is made up of various weapons and obscenely sophisticated aircraft or spacecraft that are not intended for larger applications such as military use.

Examples of Area 91 technology:

* **Azimuth** Battleship-class warship: The base's main source of attraction, which prompted its creation. The derelict ship is still preserved today, and it has been thoroughly studied to the point where nevians have a complete understanding of the vessel's origin, inhabitants, and the native planet.
* DLX-E Singularity Cannon
* Singularity Cannon
* SXV-31E Obsidian jet
* Orbitallic Microcannon
* CLV-EX1 Cruiser-class warship
* Kr'Uim Danaka-class warship

## Trivia

### General

* Area 91 is known to have at least four thousand next generation, unseen aircraft designs.
* The facility have been experimenting with Omega technology since 2023. It also has a variety of dissected alien parts being studied rather than leaving the limbs to rot.
* The intense secrecy surrounding the base from the late 20th century until the 21st has made it the frequent subject of conspiracy theories and a central component of unidentified flying object (UFO) folklore.
* The head of this facility is claimed to be an extraterrestrial.
* Nowadays, the facility served as the NEW/G's new headquarters through a large separate hangar located in the east of the entire facility complex.

### Development

* Lahart Zalk was derived from the base's engineer and original head: Lockhart Zalkman.
* The Stryke Blast Initiative has purchased a hangar to serve as an alternative base of operations.
* Area 91 has all sorts of contractors paid to guard the facility with their lives. They'd be glad to sacrifice themselves to prevent anything from the base from being stolen or destroyed by invading forces.
* The entire site is open to tourists in select time and dates for a tour. Photos are only allowed in limited circumstances.
