This peripheral research outpost is situated some distance from Moonbase Alpha, in order to conduct hazardous experiments. It is only seen in The Exiles.
The buildings are built into a lunar hill, and have their own cross-shaped launch pad. The presence of this launch pad neatly explains the occasional references to launch pads 6 to 10, despite there being only five launch pads around the main base. The other pads may belong to other research stations or other constructions some distance from the main base.
