Saturn Base is a military base located in Obock Region, Djibouti, owned and administered by private military company Skyshroud LLC. The base is home to more than 44,000 Skyshroud personnel of various nationalities. Pursuant to the 150-year lease agreement signed between Skyshroud and the Government of Djibouti on 1 August 2031, the territory occupied by Saturn Base is privately administered and not subject to the jurisdiction of Djibouti. Instead, the laws in effect within the base are those of the Skyshroud Military Code, which is enforced by the Saturn Military Police Command. According to the terms of the lease, Skyshroud is obligated to defend and protect the territorial boundaries of Djibouti, and its forces may be requisitioned by the President of Djibouti for national security purposes at any time.
"Although Skyshroud is supposedly a neutral, for-profit company, the way it is now set up makes it comparable to a nation-state. It has its own military, its own laws, and now, its own sovereign territory. The rest of the world should be terrified."

The land area of Saturn Base includes a stretch of coastline as well as large swathes of rocky desert. It is believed that there are at least four silos containing up to 500 intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) on the base, although multiple independent reputable sources have verified none of them are armed with nuclear warheads.
For administration purposes, the base is divided into six sectors, namely Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo and Headquarters Sectors. The high command of Saturn Base operates out of the Wheel, a 50,000 sq ft building with multiple operations capabilities located inside Headquarters Sector.
