References to the emperor containment facility in the data are scarce, but its location is suggested to be somewhere with volcanic activity, at a depth of approximately 1200m

― PDA

The Primary Containment Facility (PCF), also known as the Emperor Facility or Sea Emperor Prison, is a Precursor Base located within the Active Lava Zone that will serve as the final major story location. It was built by the Precursors around one thousand years ago and is where the last Sea Emperor is contained, along with the five remaining Sea Emperor Eggs.

This facility requires the blue Precursor Artifact to unlock, which is found inside the Precursor Thermal Power Generator.

Story

This facility, like the other Precursor Bases was built a little under one thousand years ago. It was purpose-built to contain the Sea Emperor after it was discovered that it was immune to Carar. The aquarium section was originally all inorganic with several teleporter hubs set up (though none large enough to allow the Sea Emperor's escape). However, as creatures began migrating into it, they brought with them flora seeds along with loose sand and mud. Over time, the aquarium became a thriving ecosystem with the Sea Emperor at the heart. At an unknown date, the Sea Emperor laid five eggs, which the Precursors took and placed in the Precursor Egg Incubator, as the aquarium was not a suitable environment for the eggs to hatch, and had deducted that the eggs would be a more viable source of the cure, rather than their mother. <tabber> Resources= Drillable Ion Crystal |-| Fauna=

Future Plans

• The Primary Containment Facility will be divided in 2 main areas, the antechamber and the aquarium.
• The antechamber will contain an airlock and various teleporters to different biomes and the other Precursor Bases - the receivers for these teleporters will be found scattered throughout the world.
• The aquarium will feature a moonpool and the Precursor Egg Incubator. 
• Various cutscenes and animations will be shown here, ranging from simple Sea Emperor swimming animations to a dramatic final reveal involving the Sea Emperor eggs.
• Warpers will attempt to warp in and kill the player. 
• Most, if not all fauna and flora will be found in the Primary Containment Facility, aggressive fauna will also be passive to the player while in the aquarium. Aggressive fauna will also defend the player from Warpers.
• This facility may contain objects taken from other alien races, including humans.
