Decepticon HQ Airfield

Decepticon HQ's main airfield is built around two of the smoothest, flattest runways on Cybertron, mounted in an offset cross shape with the Decepticon Dome north of the crux. It is rumoured that the four-mile strips, 36/18 running north-to-south and 27/09 running east-to-west, are actually flatter than the curvature of Cybertron, to allow Lord Megatron the easiest landings Decepticon engineering can provide. To further that goal, the lighting and landing aids are second-to-none, allowing shuttle pilots to land fully under autopilot control - so they don't damage Megatron's perfect runways. Directly across the crux from the Decepticon dome, one will find a control tower, with top-of-the-line sensors and communications equipment.

Across Runway 36/18 from the Decepticon Dome one will find several pads for those who prefer to take off or land vertically, reinforced grates over pits of blast-deflectors and water deluge systems to dampen any harmful noise or flame, with armoured guide-lights and landing aids. Running along either side of both runways, there are several hangars and small compounds, claimed by various individuals and groups as a place to recharge and relax while awaiting their next mission.

Both runways are lined with enough air defences that almost any assault could be repelled - but not, should it be required, that of Lord Megatron. Most prominent amongst these emplacements is a large, octagonal concrete tower next to a camouflaged hangar, marking the home of the Luftwaffecons. Should the defenses be subverted, His Lordship would be able to remove them without damaging the runways too much - even the Luftwaffecon flak tower guns would fall, even if the structure itself would (probably) remain standing.
