All activities on the base are classified, and all methodologies and technologies devised by the UAC there are carefully protected trade secrets. It is also the center of the UAC's top secret weapons design, interdimensional travel, biological engineering, and occult research divisions. Samuel Hayden, as the power source for the entirety of Earth. The base serves via its central, prominent Argent Energy Tower, designed and constructed by Dr. The base was built not far in relative terms from the Argent Fracture, a location in Promethei Terra where powerful Argent plasma was first discovered leaking from a deep fissure in the year 2095. In Doom (2016), the UAC has constructed a sprawling facility known as the UAC Mars Base in the Hellas Planitia impact basin on the surface of the red planet. After building the Soul Cube through the sacrifice of most of their population and using it to seal the portal, the few survivors left the planet and are implied to have went to Earth, where they became ancestors of modern man. This device was what destroyed the civilization, as it turned out that the technology inadvertently opened a portal to Hell. A teleportation device constructed by the civilization was discovered in 2115 at Site 1 and led the UAC to attempt to reverse engineer the device, in spite of encoded warnings against this left by the ancient civilization. Remains of this ancient civilization were discovered by the UAC during construction of the first underground Mars base at Site 3. In the continuity of Doom 3, Mars once hosted a population of highly advanced humanoids who created a complex civilization and controlled a technology described simply as "mystic" by UAC scientists. Although the planet is portrayed as being realistically inhospitable, a decision was made early on to increase Mars' gravity to match Earth's for gameplay reasons. The player is required to venture onto the barren surface of Mars a number of times during Doom 3, and must fight off demons while topping off his oxygen supply via collectible tanks.
In Doom 3, Resurrection of Evil, and The Lost Mission, the action is set directly on Mars, in the fictional Mars City. Information on an official Nintendo webpage for the game places it back on Phobos, however, a detail also consistent with some pre-release reviews of the game whose canonicity was otherwise unverified.
Doom 64 has sometimes been thought to take place on the planet's surface, as the game itself was ultimately vague about its setting and referred only to it being under a policy of "planetary quarantine," maintained due to apocalyptic levels of radiation. In fact, the player never ventures to the surface of the planet in any of the games or episodes. It is often assumed the setting of the game is on Mars, but in fact none of the events take place on the planet. The military, of which the player character is a part, has loaned the Martian moon bases from the UAC to perform research on teleportation technology. Doom's action takes place on Phobos and Deimos, the two moons of Mars, although in the introductory story the protagonist is initially stationed on Mars itself, where the UAC has set up nuclear waste disposal facilities.
