Central Command

Nanotrasen's massive and tightly-defended Corporate Headquarters.

This is the place where the Escape Shuttle finally ends up after having left Space Station 13. Welcome back home.

The Nanotrasen Internship Program
Have you ever wanted to undergo brain analysis and other extensive vetting procedures just to deliver some paper pushers coffee or make copies? Yes? Then consider applying for an internship at Nanotrasen! You and your fellow interns will be placed on Central Command and alongside the normal office work, may be tasked with handling minor tasks on one of our Space Stations, like escorting some dignitary or other minor complications. Through good and dedicated work you may even be promoted to an permanent position! Now come and join us at Nanotrasen in our efforts of improving the universe! The Nanotrasen Internship Programm does not provide it's participants with any form of monetary compensation or health care/insurance.

The CentCom Officials
The station itself is staffed by CentCom Officials who run the administrative side of things, assign station objectives, monitor station messages and sometimes get labelled as paper pushers. They mostly get recruited from successful Head of Personnel who have shown Nanotrasen their loyalty through long service. These are also the people who get sent on inspections to Nanotrasen stations to ensure they are being run properly.

The Emergency Response Corps
Then there are the Emergency Response Corps, these people are picked from the areas of Security, Engineering and Medical are experts in their field and get put through an intense training to make them effective in combating an variety of threats. Depending on the severity of the emergency they are responding too, they might also be equipped with Nanotrasens most rare and expensive equipment. These are the people to call when the station is facing an emergency it cannot effectively combat by itself.

The "Division of Asset Protection"
Finally there is the classified Division of Asset Protection. While their names are rather ominous they have one mission, to eliminate all enemies of Nanotrasen, be it raiding syndicate bases or exterminating an xenomorph outbreak out of control. Aside from their unmatched combat and coordination skills, little is known of them, while there are rumors that they consist of captured and brainwashed Nuclear Operatives of the Syndicate nothing is certain. These people are the strongest and best equipped forces on Central Command and have unwavering loyalty to Nanotrasen. These people get called when things have gone very wrong, and an encounter with them will most likely not be survived.

The Special Operations Officers
These highly trained Officers are in charge of both the Division of Asset Protection and the Emergency Response Corps. They are stationed at Central Command and answer only to the CentCom Commander. To become one of these highly skilled Officers, who also have access to any and all military related intelligence you must have been an Squad Leader of either an Code Red ERT for 15 years or an Asset Protection Squad's leader for 10. Under rare circumstances they deploy alongside one of their Squads, they have some of the best equipment Nanotrasen has to offer, so surrender IF they give you the chance to.

The Surgeon General
Usually, the Surgeon General of the area is Dr. Kirie Vonel-Saito. The Surgeon general answers only to the Commander of the sector. She is in charge of all the medical needs of the Commander, writes medical policy and performs medical research for the station.

The CentCom Commander
While the identity of the person in charge of Central Command is unknown, their selection process is not, they are selected, by the Nanotrasen Board of Directors, from an pool of Captains who have run their Space Station for 15 or more years and have had an excellent track record. They are given great autonomy and all Nanotrasen personnel in the sector are under their command. The most common Commander in the Bungalow sector is Commodore Jill Ness. Aside from Jill, you may find various other Commodores, Vice Admirals, or even the Admiral herself, somewhere along the way.

Only the docking and Thunderdome areas are explorable but there are many more areas including an prison for Nanotrasens high priority prisoners, an Cargo Bay with which the Stations counterpart is trading and an corporate office for the Commander alongside an briefing room for ERT's.

The Escape Shuttle is docked here when it is not at (or travelling from) Space Station 13. A small ferry is also docked at Central Command.

The Wizard's Den, the Syndicate Winter Outpost, and the Abductor's Pod happen to exist on the same z-level as Centcom. Go figure.
