It consists of an openable quarter dome with a nanocamo-enhanced underside that reflects the sky, various restaurants, a hostel, independent power sources, and not enough parking. >Originally owned by the Zaibatsu Megacorporation, it was also intended to serve as a bunker and disaster center, but instead it found itself sold to QUIDTRID to help stave off bankruptcy.
