Facility Designations
The Foundation maintains and operates a large number of facilities worldwide, from small
outposts with only a handful of staff to major Sites with thousands of personnel.
Site Foundation facilities designated as Sites
are covert facilities, meaning that while existence of the facility is known to the
public, such facilities are often disguised under government or corporate fronts.
Sites are often built in locations in relatively close proximity to civilian populations, where
facilities would require such cover.
Area Foundation facilities designated as Areas
are clandestine facilities, meaning that civilians are not aware of its existence at all.
Such facilities are often built far away from civilian populations and may contain highly
dangerous anomalies; the vast majority of Areas have extreme fail-safe measures such
as on-site nuclear warheads.
Facility Sections
Sector Sectors are sections of Sites or Areas that
are designated for specific purposes, such as containment, research, or storage.
The exact usage of Sectors vary from facility to facility and is dependent on the facility's
primary purpose and size.
Unit Units are self-contained sections of Sites
or Areas such as those containing Biological or Dimensional anomalies and are designed
to self-seal in case of a breach or other catastrophic event.
All personnel entering or exiting a Unit must typically undergo a full decontamination procedure.
Prefixes
These prefixes are often used to denote specializations of facilities or facility sections and are
generally only used in internal communication.
Armed Armed denotes a facility or facility section
with abnormally high physical security concerns, either due to containment of violent hostile
entities or threat of outside attack.
Such facilities typically have a large amount of military-grade weaponry and vehicles as
well as a disproportionately large number of permanent security staff; in the case of
a full facility, this typically entails a detachment of at least battalion or regiment
strength.
Biological (Bio) Biological containment facilities or facility
sections deal with infectious or otherwise biohazardous anomalies and are both isolated
and self-contained to prevent the possible escape of such anomalies.
Containment Containment facilities or facility sections
are primarily equipped and intended for the containment of anomalous objects, entities,
or phenomena.
Dimensional (Dim) Dimensional containment facilities or facility
sections deal with extradimensional apertures or anomalies exhibiting inconsistent or warped
spacetime.
Humanoid Humanoid containment facilities or facility
sections primarily deal with sentient, sapient human or near-human entities capable of understanding
and complying with instructions.
These are essentially analogous to a prison facility for anomalous entities.
Protected Protected facilities and facility sections
are "safe zones" kept free of anomalous influence.
No anomalies are allowed within these facilities at any time.
Provisional Provisional facilities are those that are
established or built around an immobile anomaly.
Provisional facilities typically contain only a single anomaly.
Reliquary Reliquary facilities or facility sections
are designed for handling artifacts and objects of religious or historical significance.
Research Research facilities or facility sections are
designed for either the handling and study of anomalies or anomalous materials or research
and development of new containment schemes and methods.
Storage Storage facilities or facility sections are
intended for long-term storage of non-anomalous or inert anomalous objects with no risk of
autonomous interaction.
Miscellaneous
These are Foundation facilities or locations that do not fall under the standard organizational
structure.
Observation Posts Observation Posts are tiny facilities established
in a multitude of locations worldwide.
Often limited to small standalone buildings or single units within larger buildings, Observation
Posts are typically used to monitor regional communications for flagged content, as well
as monitor nearby Foundation facilities.
Many Observation Posts are also used as secure communications hubs or safe-houses by undercover
Foundation agents.
Facilities List (Abridged)
The following is a partial list of notable Foundation facilities.
Please note that this list is incomplete; many Foundation facilities are not listed
here due to operational security requirements or because their purpose and/or location are
classified.
Many facility designations have also been recycled over time as the original facilities
are decommissioned or otherwise no longer in use.
