Its huge size houses about 3,000 workers including GUTS members and TPC executives and is large enough to store an entire possession of GUTS' Ride Mechas. Underneath the F4 docking bay, basement No. 133 houses the Maxima Overdrive-powered battleship Artdessei that was secretly built by Dr. Yao Naban. The base was intruded by various antagonist of the series such as Bizaamo, Menjula and among others.
