Foi construído pela Raça Precursora cerca de mil anos atrás e é o lar do último Imperador do Mar , Leviatã , junto com os cinco Ovos de Leviatã do Imperador do Mar que restaram . Existem duas entradas para os lagos de lava contendo a instalação de contenção primária; as coordenadas são -300 -1270 -150 e 90 -1240 360, sudeste e diretamente ao norte doLava Castle , respectivamente.

A Instalação de Contenção Primária requer o Blue Tablet para desbloquear, que é encontrado na Usina Térmica Alien .

A instalação de contenção primária, como as outras bases alienígenas, foi construída há pouco menos de mil anos. Cinco dispositivos Sonic Deterrent podem ser encontrados no entorno da base, evitando ataques de fauna nativa às instalações . Foi construído para conter o imperador do mar Leviathan depois que foi descoberto que era imune à bactéria Kharaa . A seção do aquário era originalmente toda inorgânica com dois Arcos Alienígenas montados dentro, um levando de volta para a janela do casco da Antecâmara e outro levando para fora da Plataforma de Execução da Quarentena . No entanto, conforme as criaturas começaram a migrar para ele através dos Arcos, eles trouxeram consigo a florasementes junto com areia solta e lama. Com o tempo, o aquário se tornou um ecossistema próspero com o Sea Emperor Leviathan no centro. Cinco dos ovos com os quais o Imperador do Mar Leviatã foi encontrado foram colocados no Dispositivo Incubador para estimular o processo de incubação, pois foi deduzido que os filhotes seriam uma fonte mais viável de cura , ao invés de seu pai, que era fraco. Mas o aquário não era um ambiente adequado para a eclosão dos ovos, que foi construído para corresponder ao ambiente ideal para um imperador do mar adulto Leviatã, que difere das condições ideais para um imperador juvenil, fazendo com que os ovos entrem em uma forma de estase natural por um período de tempo aparentemente indefinido, mantido vivo pela Incubadora.

Antecâmara

Antechamber

A primeira sala da Instalação de Contenção Primária. É enorme e de forma aproximadamente octogonal. Um grande pilar, denominado Ion Cube Fabricator, fica no centro da câmara, que é usado para criar grandes depósitos de cubos de íons. Cada vez que o depósito sobre ele se esgota completamente, o pilar sobe e, depois de um tempo, fabrica um novo depósito, após o qual o pilar desce. Em torno deste pilar estão caixas contendo as Relíquias Alienígenas, seis de cada lado. Existem seis portas ao redor das paredes laterais da Antecâmara, as quatro portas posicionadas nas diagonais levam às salas do Arco, a porta esquerda do meio leva à "Sala dos Tubos" e a direita ao "Laboratório de Ovos". Acessado por rampas de cada lado da entrada da instalação, avista-se outro portal, que dá acesso ao "Laboratório de Dissecação". No final da Antecâmara está outra porta bloqueada por um campo de força que leva à Sala da Poça da Lua, junto com seu respectivo Controle do Campo de Força , exigindo uma Placa Azul. A Antecâmara também tem muitos casos de espécimes contendo artefatos que os Precursores coletaram, a maioria originários de outras raças alienígenas.

Relíquias

Alien Relics

Uma coleção de onze relíquias são mantidas na Instalação de Contenção Primária, com uma de origem humana, algumas de origem Precursora, mas a maioria de outras espécies exóticas não identificadas. Mais informações sobre essas relíquias podem ser encontradas aqui: Alien Relics .

Laboratório de Ovos

Egg Laboratory

(para imagens ver galeria )

Este laboratório é acessado pela porta do meio no lado direito da antecâmara. O objetivo deste laboratório foi estudar os processos de incubação de ovos de formas de vida locais, a fim de descobrir como eclodir os ovos de Leviatã do Imperador do Mar. Como tal, o laboratório contém muitos ovos das formas de vida locais, quarenta e três ovos são mantidos aqui no total, incluindo um ovo de Leviatã do Imperador do Mar e dois ovos de Leviatã do Dragão do Mar. O ovo do Shuttlebug não implementado também pode ser encontrado nesta sala.

Pipe Room

Pipe Room

(para imagens veja a galeria )

Embora esta sala não seja enorme, os canos que saem dela cobrem dezenas de milhares de metros. O objetivo desta sala é bombear água fria e rica em oxigênio dos biomas de superfície para o aquário e remover a água sem oxigênio, mantendo um ambiente estável para o Imperador do Mar Leviatã. Esta sala também contém cinco pequenos aquários que são preenchidos com várias espécies de corais e flora, esses aquários têm saídas de tubo, presumivelmente com o propósito de enriquecer a água circulante com matéria vegetal e coral. O Sea Emperor Leviathan usando suas habilidades telepáticas treinou Peepers para usar o sistema de tubos para distribuir Enzyme 42 para os biomas de superfície, mantendo viva uma pequena quantidade de vida no planeta.

Laboratório de Dissecção

Dissection Lab

(para ver as imagens, consulte a galeria )

Esta pequena sala contém um ovo Leviatã do Imperador do Mar que foi aberto à força, bem como um feto Leviatã do Imperador do Mar morto em uma mesa de dissecação. A varredura desses itens revela que os Precursores estavam desesperados para tentar obter a Enzima 42 quando suas tentativas de fazer os ovos chocarem falharam, forçando-os a dissecar um dos ovos extremamente valiosos.

Quarto Moonpool

Moonpool Room

Uma grande sala acessada por uma porta na extremidade da Antecâmara, o principal ponto de interesse nesta sala é o grande Moonpool, do qual ele tira seu nome. O Moonpool leva a uma plataforma de observação acima do Aquário do Sea Emperor Leviathan, suspenso por quatro cabos, onde o jogador vai ficar cara a cara com o Sea Emperor Leviathan pela primeira vez. No final desta sala está uma plataforma com um Arco Alien, a plataforma não pode ser acessada a partir da Sala Moonpool, sendo acessível apenas através de um Arco no Aquário.

A Sala da janela do casco não pode ser acessada a menos que o campo de força que protege a entrada tenha sido desabilitado, o que pode ser feito usando uma Placa Azul em um controle localizado na Antecâmara.

Aquário

Sea Emperor's Aquarium

A principal característica da Instalação de Contenção Primária; um enorme aquário contendo o Sea Emperor Leviathan e os cinco ovos Sea Emperor Leviathan. O Aquário está repleto de vida; cardumes de peixes, corais , gramíneas e Flora espalhados por toda parte, algumas partes do Aquário lembram o Grande Recife . Existem também pequenos sistemas de cavernas, um contendo um par de Oculus , o único lugar em que eles são encontrados além das Cavernas do Jellyshroom . Grandes pilares feitos do mesmo material que as Bases Alienígenas podem ser encontrados correndo em duas linhas, paralelas entre si no meio do aquário, encimadas por luzes retangulares verdes maiores. Criaturas agressivas, como Stalkers , Bonesharks, e Cave Crawlers , serão passivos para o jogador e, portanto, não são uma ameaça. Os jogadores podem montar com segurança seu Seamoth ao redor do aquário, independentemente do limite de profundidade. Dois Ion Cubes podem ser encontrados aqui, um em um pedestal próximo ao Arco na parte de trás do Aquário, e outro localizado em um sistema de cavernas aparentemente abandonado durante a evacuação dos Precursores.

Sistema de tubulação

Pipe System

Oito pontos de entrada de ventilação Alien estão localizados no aquário, que bombeia água rica em oxigênio para o aquário para manter um ambiente estável. Peepers usam essas aberturas para viajar de e para a superfície carregando a Enzima 42.

Dispositivo Incubador

Incubator Device

O Dispositivo Incubador é encontrado em um grande buraco no solo cercado por pequenos montes de rocha entre os quais o Imperador se aninha quando o jogador se aproxima dos 5 ovos que estão nele. Há um arco diretamente atrás da incubadora, que se conecta a um arco próximo à plataforma de aplicação de quarentena . Os ovos podem ser incubados usando incubação Enzimas .

<tabber> Ion Cube Fabricator=


This device appears to be the origin of the raw mineral that forms the base of the ion cubes which power smaller alien systems. Likely drawing power itself from the main thermal plant, this device may represent an almost limitless source of energy.

|-| Enzyme 42 Project Data=

According to translated data logs, an indigenous leviathan species was found to produce a unique substance referred to as 'Enzyme 42', which inhibited the symptoms of the kharaa bacterial infection in other indigenous organisms. The specimen was captured and contained in a purpose-built habitat for further study.

The alien researchers went to great lengths to provide for the lifeform's environmental needs, including the import of interdependent flora and fauna via an onsite warpgate, however its health quickly deteriorated.

When quarantine was imposed all warp gates and forcefields were sealed. All attempts to develop the enzyme into a vaccine had been unsuccessful.

|-| Sea Emperor Egg Casing=

Shell Composition:
The shell casing is formed from thick layers of carbon-composite, suggesting an extensive gestation period. This leviathan species may give birth just once per century, perhaps just once in their lifetimes.

Shell Casing Incisions:
Precise incisions suggest a laser-based tool was used to cut open the egg casing and forcibly remove the fetus inside, prior to full gestation.

Analysis:
- Time-pressure to develop a bacterial vaccine may have driven the alien researchers to cut open this egg and remove the fetus for study
- It is also possible that, removed from its parent and natural habitat, some vital condition for the infant to hatch naturally was not met

|-| Sea Emperor Fetus=

Found preserved in a display case, it was likely a child of the adult specimen contained within the facility.

Physiology:
- Superficial damage to the specimen indicates it was artificially removed from its egg-casing
- Stunted tissue development suggests the organism expired during the removal process
- Tissue samples have been taken from the digestive tract

Analysis:
- It appears the aliens were attempting to formulate a cure for the bacterium from enzymes produced in this specimen's digestive system
- Without a young, healthy specimen these efforts were in vain

|-| Ventilation Control=

Water flowing to and from the primary containment facility is being automatically controlled, independently of other safeguards. Data on the water composition has been recorded:

Inflow:
Water is being drawn from different biomes around the surface of the planet. The water temperature is considerably lower than the volcanic environment outside the facility, while micro-organism and nutrient counts are substantially higher.

Outflow:
Oxygen-deprived water is being flooded from the system and recycled back to the surface.

|-| Peepers Entering the Containment Facility=

The pipes drawing water into the containment facility are filled with peepers arriving from the surface.

- The fish show no signs of distress
- The specimens scanned have all consumed high quantities of seeds and organic matter from the surface
- Some specimens are beginning to show signs of infection

|-| Enzyme Host Peepers Leaving the Containment Facility=

A peeper specimen was observed emitting a faint, fluorescent enzyme trail, and engaging in unusual behavioral patterns.

- Peeper is actively approaching other creatures, including predators
- The specimen is host to a bacterial infection, however the infection is currently dormant
- Peeper's stomach cavity contains an unknown enzyme of foreign origin

Chemical Analysis of Enzyme:
- Bears some superficial similarity to the stomach enzymes of larger predators
- Contact with the enzyme appears to inhibit the symptoms of the bacterial infection
- Complex structure renders synthesis impossible

Assessment: Recommend further research into enzyme origin

|-| Aquarium Arch=


Scans indicate this arch was left inactive when the facility was abandoned. It likely served as an access point to the surface of the planet. It is much too small for the emperor to pass through, but would accommodate smaller lifeforms.

|-| Aquarium Pipe Access Point=


An access point to the alien piping system transporting water to and from the containment facility. Peepers are using the pipe network to travel to and from the surface.

|-| Peepers Inside the Containment Facility=

While all other creatures encountered within the facility are isolated within it, peepers appear to be coming and going of their own accord via the alien pipe network.

- On arrival, peepers are approaching the sea emperor
- Peepers exhibit a natural affinity for the stomach enzymes being expelled by the emperor
- Peepers which have come into contact with the enzyme are returning to the pipe network

Analysis:
- This behavior must be the source of Enzyme 42 on 4546B, or the area thereof which supports life
- It is likely also responsible for the survival of the emperor and the other lifeforms contained within the facility

|-| Sea Emperor Leviathan Research Data=

SPECIMEN SIZE CATEGORIES HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED UPWARD TO ACCOMMODATE THIS SPECIES

1. Feeding & Digestion
Alien research data indicates that despite its size this species feeds entirely on microorganisms it filters from the water, which themselves depend on a complicated ecosystem of plant and animal life.

2. Reproduction
Large, ovary-like organs are carried in the creature's middle section, suggesting that like other species on this planet it produces eggs, however internal scar tissue indicates probable infertility.

3. Enzyme 42
The emperor manufactures Enzyme 42 within its stomach cavity to break down its food, and will occasionally expel it into the surrounding waters. This substance was found to neutralize the effects of the bacterium, and its presence in the ecosystem today would explain how life on the planet survived the outbreak. It would remain to be explained by what mechanism the enzyme is being delivered.

4. Health
Comparative analysis of size and metabolic rates indicates the specimen captured by the researchers was approximately 1,600 years old. Extensive internal and external scar tissue suggest it had lived well in excess of the peak lifespan for its species.

Assessment: While a healthy emperor specimen may have held some potential as a cure, it is unlikely any research subjects survived quarantine procedures.

|-| The Sea Emperor's Eggs=

1. (Shell)
Uncommonly strong shell lining. Organic growth on the exterior suggests these eggs may be hundreds or thousands of years old.

2. (Alien Tubes)
Alien devices penetrate the outer shell layer. Likely designed to supply them with nutrients, and to isolate them from the surrounding environment.

3. (Amniotic Sack)
Like many eggs on 4546B, these do not contain a nutrient supply which is slowly exhausted by the embryo. Instead they exist in a form of natural stasis, awaiting appropriate hatching conditions.

4. (Fetal Organism)
There is a high genetic match between these organisms and the leviathan in the vicinity. They appear to be stable and healthy.

It is likely that ideal hatching conditions for the eggs vary considerably from ideal survival conditions for the parent.

|-| Hatching Enzymes=

The emperor specimen's eggs are attached to some form of incubator.

In a normal life cycle it seems likely that sea emperors would have buried their eggs in shallower waters, where different organic materials in the soil would have triggered a hatching response. The incubator suggests the aliens had resorted to developing artificial hatching enzymes which would simulate the eggs' natural hatching environment, but were unable to discover the formula.

With extensive information on the sea emperors themselves it may still be possible to fabricate an artificial hatching enzyme using indigenous ingredients, however the only surviving source of that information may be the sea emperor itself.
