Stargate Command
Six months ago, Stargate Command relocated to its new lunar headquarters, a testament to human ingenuity and technological advancement. Inspired by the legendary city-ship Atlantis, the base boasts a similar six-spoked design, though scaled down in size and complexity.
The six arms, designated A through F, radiate from a central hub. Arms A and D house utility, maintenance, and laboratory facilities, each culminating in a launchpad for spacecraft. The remaining four arms are dedicated to residential quarters, accommodating the base's diverse population of over 6,000 personnel.
Beneath the lunar surface, the base extends three levels deep, housing essential infrastructure and support systems. Most of the multi-story facilities are underground, including a well-stocked library, a recreational area with a swimming pool, and the impressive embarkation room that rises three levels above gound. A narrow ring, some fifteen feet high connects the spokes and encircles the entire base, creating a unique and imposing silhouette against the lunar landscape.
While not a mobile vessel like Atlantis, the new Stargate Command base embodies the spirit of exploration and discovery that defines the Stargate program. Its advanced technology, robust defenses, and strategic location on the Moon make it a formidable bastion of human ingenuity and a symbol of Earth's growing presence in the galaxy.
