The PIGSTY
Located in Renton off Monster Road is the King County Sewage Treatment Plant. Deep underground is the headquarters of the Seattle XCOM Cell codenamed PIGSTY (Pacific Intervention Group Science and Tactical Yard). The world's most advanced technology and a crack team of specialists along with expert support staff are stationed here under the watchful guidance of XCOM's proprietary AI system LILI (Lifelike Interactive Learning Intelligence). Each Cell has a LILI node that facilitates communication and information sharing without jeopardizing security and Cell anonymity. The loss or compromise of any single Cell does not cause a domino effect of failure in other Cells.
The PIGSTY is divided into several wings. Each wing is assumed to have a small but competent staff and an operating budget that allows the wing to function at a default level of efficiency. As the game progresses, the Cell can run across resource boons that can be allocated to a wing to increase its efficiency for a period of 30 days. At game start, the Cell has a single monthly renewable resource boon that can be applied to any one wing.
Wings
1. Operations Wing: The command and control center of the Cell. All missions are planned, tracked, and supported from Operations. Two missions can be adequately supported per month at default.
2. Research and Development: Initially, there is a biology lab and a physics lab along with a workshop. At default, research speed is slow and development/production speed is slow. Additional labs may be built or existing labs converted.
3. Logistics Wing: This area houses vehicles, maintains vehicles, and determines your operational radius.
4. Quartermaster Wing: The Cell's arsenal and equipment is kept here. Most mundane supplies are refilled (ammunition, medical kits, batteries, rope, etc.) post mission. Special requisitions can be made.
5. Security Wing: The entire base, both inside and out, are monitored via cameras. Security teams make regular patrols.
