The Hall of Rangers

The Hall of Rangers is the traditional base of Tethys's Ground Squadron Rangers. It sits in the heart of Sky City.

Description
The building resembles St. Mary's Axe from London, but with four flat sides. The Ground Squadron sigil, three white triangles pointing upwards, is marked on each side, with the uppermost triangles converging together at the tip of the building. It sits on a pyramidal base, with four entraces and staircases, one at each corner. Each of these doors connects to an elevator for easy access to any part of the base.

The first floor is open to public access at all times except during a battle: it consists of the Ranger Museum, a series of passages and rooms to commemorate past Ground Squadron Rangers and their deeds. At its heart is the Great Hall, reserved for important ceremonies.

One floor above this is the weapons design and Ranger training area, which is accessible to the public at certain times, with limited access.

The third floor contains the living and recreational quarters of the staff, including the Rangers.

The topmost floor is the command center from which Ranger activities are coordinated. It is linked into the planet's already-extensive extraplanetary defense systems, and the Rangers are only alerted when a threat breaches those defenses.

The Zords are stored beneath the building in a large hangar, and when they are needed the four sides of the building's base will open to let them out. Those sides slide up the sides of the building itself, acting as shielding in the event of a battle.

The very bottom floor, beneath the Zord hangar, contains an emergency command center, and the generators used to power the building. Its existence is a secret, revealed only on a need-to-know basis.

History
The Hall of Rangers was originally built generations ago, but has been demolished or severely damaged many times throughout its time. Its design has altered slightly over that time.
