A Supervillain Lair — IN SPACE! For total isolation from those pesky heroes, spy organizations, and other do-gooders, there's nothing better than your very own space station. Tailor-built for the villain with a bottomless budget, the space base often doubles as a Kill Sat, Wave-Motion Gun, or some other doomsday device that can wipe cities (or even entire planets) off the map unless the governments of the world pay a hefty ransom. A variation on the theme is the moon base; it's within blasting distance of the earth, and there's a lot of prime real estate just waiting for the evil mastermind to snap up. In video games, the base may form the basis of a Space Zone. See Space Station for the less elaborate and villainous variant of this trope. Compare Elaborate Underground Base, Underwater Base, and Island Base. |

In Superman (1939) #181, the Superman of the 25th century had an invisible fortress orbiting Earth. However, Worlds Finest 1941 #166 reveals he decided it was not safe enough, and moved his space base to the center of the Sun. | |

A nonvillainous example in Kamen Rider Fourze. The protagonists can access a lunar research base (dubbed the "Rabbit Hatch") via Kengo's locker (which contains a passageway made of Cosmic Energy). It becomes the hideaway for the Kamen Rider Club which is then littered with toys, food, and other paraphernalia to suit the teenagers' needs. | |

The Operative: No One Lives Forever had HARM's space base as one of the last levels. Since the game is largely a parody/homage of the classic Spy Fiction, it's safe to assume that that level was at least partially inspired by the Moonraker. | |

Mastermind: World Conqueror has this as an option (alongside an underwater base, a skyscraper, a haunted castle...). It's easily the best in the game, since the lack of oxygen prevents vehicles from being deployed, leaving only infantry to attack. And wouldn't you know it, flamethrowers are very effective against infantry but not vehicles... | |

During the first half of Power Rangers Dino Charge the villains resided in a large carrier ship that served as a prison for the monsters caught by the bounty hunter Sledge. The second half of the series, Dino Super Charge averts this trope, since the ship is stranded on earth due to a broken engine, thus, obviously, no longer making it a space base. | |

The Guardians of the Galaxy are headquartered in Knowhere, the severed head of a Celestial on the literal edge of the universe. Later series like Duggan's and Cates' had them headquartered in Star-Lord's ship as their job required them to be more mobile and they no longer had access to Knowwhere's teleporter. In Ewing's run, their headquarters is on Rocket Raccoon's homeworld of Halfworld, mostly because at the time Rocket and later Gamora were patients at the facility for both medical treatments and therapy. | |

For All Mankind. In an Alternate History where the Soviets are the first to land on the Moon, the "race for the base" becomes the next point of competition between the superpowers, despite NASA scientists trying to tell the White House that a Moon base for military purposes makes little sense.

Their enemies the Injustice Gang had a satellite space station hangout at one time. Simon Tycho, the first supervillain faced by Supergirl in her Supergirl (2011) book, had a satellite base. "Had" being the operative word; it's quickly destroyed by Kara in Last Daughter of Krypton. In Superman (1939) #181, the Superman of the 25th century had an invisible fortress orbiting Earth. However, Worlds Finest 1941 #166 reveals he decided it was not safe enough, and moved his space base to the center of the Sun. Legion of Super-Heroes has had a couple of these at different points. In the post-Zero Hour continuity, they build Outpost Allon, a space station which serves as a secondary base. Later, after the Outpost is destroyed, they build a moon-sized Space Base called Legion World to serve as their (mobile) base of operations. |

Invader Zim normally operates from the Elaborate Underground Base beneath his house, but on several occasions has made use of a Space Station in Earth's orbit. | |

Super Sentai and its adaptation Power Rangers: The villains from Choujuu Sentai Liveman had an orbiting base, that the Livemen couldn't attack until it was brought down by Red Falcon infiltrating it in the finale. Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger- Bandora's palace is on the moon, which is actually a stolen skyscraper remolded into a palace. Same naturally goes for Rita Repulsa in Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, minus the stolen skyscraper part off course. The Machine Empire also resided in a palace on the moon in both Power Rangers Zeo and Chouriki Sentai Ohranger. In this case, it resembled a large factory. The villains from Gekisou Sentai Carranger lived aboard the Baribarian, which was a massive space station resembling a clew of roads. The same base is also used by the villains from Power Rangers Turbo, which, in that show, bears the exact name of this trope; the Space Base. During the first half of Power Rangers Dino Charge the villains resided in a large carrier ship that served as a prison for the monsters caught by the bounty hunter Sledge. The second half of the series, Dino Super Charge averts this trope, since the ship is stranded on earth due to a broken engine, thus, obviously, no longer making it a space base. |

The headquarters of the Black Moon religion in the Black Moon Chronicles is located on the moon and accessible only via magic (the series is essentially an old Dungeons & Dragons campaign of the author's). The Big Bad sends it crashing onto the planet on his defeat, forcing the heroes to evacuate as many people as they can onto a different planet. | |

Legion of Super-Heroes has had a couple of these at different points. In the post-Zero Hour continuity, they build Outpost Allon, a space station which serves as a secondary base. Later, after the Outpost is destroyed, they build a moon-sized Space Base called Legion World to serve as their (mobile) base of operations. | |

In NieR: Automata's backstory, when aliens invaded Earth in the year 5012, what remained of mankind fled to a base on the moon, and in 5204 the humans retaliated by setting up several satellite bases their army of androids could use as a launching point to retake the planet from the aliens' machine servitors. By the time of the game, - 11,945 AD and the 14th Machine War - the elite YoRHa android forces are operating out of a orbital base called the Bunker, and receiving occasional broadcasts of encouragement from the Council of Humanity on the moon. As the game goes on, not only is the Bunker destroyed, but it's revealed that humanity has actually been extinct for millennia (thanks, Nier), and the "broadcasts" from the Council of Humanity are Canned Orders over Loudspeaker from a literal Propaganda Machine made to keep the androids from learning that their creators are dead and their war is pointless. | |

In Planetary Annihilation, it's possible to send construction units up to moons to set up your own moonbases. Among the things you can build there are engines, for when you don't want the moonbase any more. | |

The final battle of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge has you invading Yuri's moon base after his plot to take over the world with Psychic Dominators fails. Since the mission takes place on the moon, you can't train ordinary infantry, only Rocketeers/Cosmonauts, though it's apparently easy to add life-support systems to all your tanks and other vehicles. | |

In Paperinik New Adventures, the Evronians set one up on the moon. In a twist, even with the Evronians being the main enemy the base is not intended as an outpost to attack Earth but as a temporary refuge: they set it up after Xadhoom blew up their Planet Spaceship, and the base's crew set it up because they were out of energy to travel and needed a refuel from Earth before getting the hell away, negotiate peace in exchange for the refueling, and Evronians being Evronians, use the negotiations as a cover to infiltrate a changeling Super-Soldier on the planet to prepare the terrain for the invasion they were planning to launch after recovering. After getting the refuel they left, with the implication that they were destroyed during the travel. | |
