StarBase 118 Black Tower: Difference between revisions

: ''This article is about the physical location on StarBase 118. For the inactive simming group, see: [[Black Tower/Intel]].''

The '''Black Tower''' is home to the headquarters for [[StarBase 118 Intelligence|StarBase 118's Intelligence department]]. With three sections and 21 different levels, it stands atop the "mushroom cap" of [[StarBase 118]]. The tower itself is built as one large cylindrical structure, with two small towers joined to each side. As its name implies, the Black Tower is completely black, due to the special treatment of the outer surface to disrupt sensors and transporter beams. All windows on the tower are specially camouflaged both from visual and sensor inspection, so the entire structure appears as one dark mass. Entrance to the tower is handled via a separate turbolift system that is not connected to the bases main system. Entrance to classified sections of the tower is restricted to intelligence personnel, guests are to be escorted at all times outside the general clearance areas.
