Description
Laboratories, construction facilities, habitation modules, power systems, test ranges, data centers, and protected docks support long-duration work on highly classified military projects. The surrounding gravitational hazards provide natural concealment and restrict access to carefully calculated routes. Compartmentalized research teams operate under strict security with independent logistics and communications.
