Area 51

The warehouse of secrets

Galaxy: Milky Way
Type: Research facility
Location: Nevada, USA
Role: Studying alien technology

In Stargate, the famous Nevada base serves as the lab and storehouse for all the alien technology brought back through the Gate.

Overview

Goa'uld weapons, ships, Ancient artefacts: everything the SGC cannot keep in the mountain goes to Area 51. It is also where Earth's first fighters, like the X-301 and X-302, are born.

Worth knowing

The series has fun with the myth: the most talked-about base in the world really does hide alien things, except they all came through the Gate.
