A massive hub located in the center of the map the '''''Mega Base''''' supports a variety of functions.

The '''Mega Base''' is a super-sized [[Starbase]] added in Galaxy Beta with 100k Shield, 30k Hull, and 75% Damage Resistance. It is where players spawn upon entering a server or when their own bases are destroyed, go to build ships, access their [[Warehouse]], and buy or sell materials at a steady price. The Mega Base is unarmed and neutral to all player factions. If it is somehow destroyed (e.g. [[Aliens]]), the server will shut down.  

Mega Base's [[Ores]] storage, [[credits]] and prices are linked across all servers, even [[Galaxy Private Servers|private servers]]. Mega Base Credits fluctuates between positive and negative meaning in times of debt any Ores/Materials cannot be sold resulting with "Base does not have enough credits to buy this." and combat rewards are not paid fully due to "insufficient funds".

The main dome of the Mega Base is decorated with flora, "beaches", and pillars designed similarly to tree trunks without leaves or branches. It also houses the [[Galaxy VIP Lounge|VIP Lounge]] between terminals A and B a glassy 2 story building with a "VIP" sign above the second floor door, between terminals A and D sits the alien embassy at the bottom floor with no stairway or sidewalk leading to it, and at the very center on a floating island lies the community boards, teleporters to each terminal, a physical icon set in stone, signs floating above each terminals catwalk, and a sidewalk around the perimeter. A teleporter behind the physical icon labeled observatory teleports the player to a small glass room floating above mega where it overlooks all of mega and the surrounding space. A holographic tree sits on top of a pile of stones below the floating island. The ceiling consists of a semi transparent glass covered in recognizable constellations.

'''SAD-OS''' is an NPC character located next to the [[Quests|Smith]] NPC in the '''Mega Base'''. It appears to be an unusable red teleporter on top of a crudely-made potato. Upon interacting with it, it will speak:

[[Luca Sky]] and [[Billy Ray Joe]] are at the center of mega base. Luca stands at the top of a pillar between terminal B and C while Billy Ray Joe stands next to the rules board.

About every ?? minutes in the '''Mega Base''', you can hear what sounds like a robot speaking on an intercom throughout the Mega Base. These are all of the sentences she says:

*If you plan to transfer items or sell and buy items at '''Mega Base''', make sure you are not at [[War]]. Pirates normally do some [[Pirating]] at Mega Base and normally attack any enemy ship they see, mainly [[:Category:Miner|Miners]] and [[:Category:Freighter|Freighters]].

*Smaller Pirates always stay within 30,000 studs of the Mega Base, so be careful when trading and keep an eye on the Minimap.

As is commonly known, if you warp perfectly, you can enter '''Mega Base'''. It takes some practice, but it gets pretty easy over time. But, two players named [[User:FRJRyanYT|FRJRyanYT]] and '''Parzi3l''' have found a new way to get inside. Where the terminals connect to the Mega Base, there is a small, rhombus-shaped, hole that is just big enough to fit, maybe 3 [[Wasp|Wasps]] going through at once. All testing to enter using '''Frigates''' has shown us that most '''Frigates''' are too big to enter using our area, but to be honest, we only tested two Frigates. Photos of the entrance will be shown below.

*Ads were formerly used only by game staff or developers to launch their own game-related messages or ads, which included ones for the Galaxy Group, Case Clicker, Sean's Empire, and Xeiron Industries. The Case Clicker ad in previous versions read "Come play the best Sci-Fi game around!". This was probably based on [[rcouret]] complaining that Case Clicker is categorized as a Sci-Fi game.

*In some versions of the game, the Mega Base was able to be destroyed (prior to the official implementation in version .73f). In these versions, when Mega Base died, it had one of the most destructive explosions in the game, but the radius was very low so only ships touching the mega base are affected by the resulting nuke. The wreck also had a boundless amount of loot, but the absence of the Mega Base broke the server and prevented players selling anything; the UI as a whole deteriorates as people sometimes were unable to spawn or de spawn ships. Players that joined the server were unable to join any team.

*On 11/1/2021, the Mega Base was accidentally made destructible in the main version of Galaxy, causing players to go through all the servers and kill every Mega Base until it was patched.

*Before the warp system was revised, ships were able to warp into the Mega Base with the correct timing. This was a bannable act when people used it to escape the loss of their ship in combat.

*[[File:Advisor board (3-11-18)-0.png|thumb|220x220px|Community Advisor (now removed) in Version .63]] As of version .63f3 (ish), there a "Community Advisor Board" was added to the Mega Base, showing update logs and announcements for Galaxy. This has since been removed and was replaced first with an advertisement for the U.N.E., and later with the rule and update boards.

*Before the implementation of features such as universal credit totals and variable/demand-based ore prices, the Mega Base used to be the most difficult base to bankrupt of all its credits. This was due to Mega Base's price being fixed at a low price in the Economy Matrix; only Frion I could set prices lower than Mega Base.

*In an unknown version, Mega Base invulnerability was removed, and [[:Category:Alien|Aliens]] are now able to attack it. If the '''Mega Base''' is destroyed, it unleashes a very powerful nuke upon exploding (which destroys most bases and ships in the vicinity of the explosion) and the server is shut down; with the message, "You failed to protect the crucially MegaBase. This galaxy is no more. Please play again!"
