Key Locations

Shadow Broker Base

The Shadow Broker Base is a massive ship that travels through the volatile event horizon of a permanent mana storm in the middle of the ocean, concealing its presence. Located somewhere between America and Oceania, it is from here that the Shadow Broker rules his empire.

Exterior

The exterior of the Shadow Broker's ship is a hazardous place. The Shadow Broker's private army patrols the exterior, and Maintenance Drones tend to the hull and the systems on the exterior of the ship. The exterior also has no hand or guardrails making it a dangerous place to patrol. The atmospheric conditions of the event horizon don't make the process any easier, but the risk of patrols being struck by stray lightning bolts from the omnipresent electrical storms is mitigated by large conducting rods that channel energy into giant hull-mounted capacitors.

Interior

The interior of the ship has many compartments including the ship's engines, which must remain active at all times to prevent it from falling. Also, inside is central operations, probably the nerve center of the ship. There is also a prison block where the Shadow Broker keeps hostages, and torture facilities for interrogation purposes. Finally there is the Shadow Broker's Office, Intel Center, and private quarters. Within the private quarters, a custom AI Drone assists the Shadow Broker with maintaining his massive network of informants, contacts, and agents. Despite the ship's volatile location, motion dampeners absorb the noise and vibrations from the storm outside.
