The West Virginia base is a hollowed out mountain headquarters of the Mogadorians. It is situated in the Appalachian Mountains range of West Virginia.
It is described as being almost hive like, with a large central hall reaching from the floor to the tip of the mountain. It has a ledge spiralling around the outside with a series of tunnels connecting various other locations.
Facilities[]
Notable locations:
- Living quarters, which include rooms with beds, cafeteria, and shooting range.
- Multiple laboratories.
- Detention centres holding prisoners including humans, animals, Number Six, Katarina, Number Nine, Sandor and Sam at various times. All human prisoners were later taken to Dulce base.
- Rooms with rows of computers and Mogadorians checking for anything related to the Garde in the news.
- The Manufacturing area of a Green Lava material used for an unknown reason. There was a mote of this surrounding the chests when Sam Goode and Number Four attempt to recover them, John discovers that he could manipulate this, as with any fire.
- Animal quarters, holding Piken and Krauls amongst other previously unseen creatures. It is possible that some of these creatures were genetically engineered.

The Fallen Legacies (Mentioned)[]
Upon showing signs of weakeness following the apparantly failed memory transfer experiment and failing to kill Number Two, Adamus' father Andrakkus threatens to send him to the mountain base to take part in training, something that his wife manages to talk him out of. Adamus notes how labourous this training would be.
The Power of Six[]
Both Sam and Four enter the base using the Xitharis charged with Six's Invisibility, in order to recover his Loric Chest. They are unable to locate the chest until Four suggests that it would be hidden in the most dangerous place of the cave, the animal pen. Here they find the chest, along with another chest and Four battles a large ape creature and causes a large explosion that erupts throughout most of the base in order to escape. In the tunnels they find rows of prison cells, one bursts open, and they meet Number Nine who had been imprisoned there for a long time. Nine is reunited with his chest and the group fight the oncoming mogadorians and creatures.
Sam is trapped inside when Four and Nine escape, Setrákus Ra arrives at earth and enters the base and a large forcefield prevents them from going back inside to rescue him.
The Rise of Nine (Seen)[]
After escaping the base, Nine and Four make it a few miles before the truck runs out of gas. They hide in an abandoned house. Once Four has recovered from hitting the force field, Bernie Kosar leads him to a peak where they are able to see the blue light of the force field. Four immediately plans to return but, after using the communicator in Nine's chest, the FBI soon captures them.
Five's Betrayal[]
