Panorama of the Cosmodrome

The Cosmodrome is located in Old Russia. Operated by the Russian Federal Bureau of Aeronautics, or PФбA,[1] the Cosmodrome was a vital link to space during humanity's Golden Age, and centuries after the Collapse, the remnants of forgotten colony ships on the launch pad can still be seen.[2]

Every location in Old Russia except for the Gateway is within the Cosmodrome.[3] The Devils' Lair is located in the center, underneath a colony ship.[4]
