The headquarters of the Jane Mendoza Gang is strategically located in a two-floor cave system deep within a series of volcanic tunnels, approximately 30 kilometers from Firetown. Concealed behind the rugged mountain range of Volcano Ralar, the headquarters benefits from natural defensive advantages, making it nearly impossible to locate or infiltrate. The cave’s dual-floor structure accommodates both the gang’s daily operations and its most secretive activities.

The upper level houses essential living spaces, while the basement level serves as a high-security zone, reinforcing the gang’s control over its territory. Guarded not only by the Zark Tribe warriors but also by a pack of trained Korozos, the stronghold remains one of the most impenetrable locations on the Dark Side of VOI 700 D.

The headquarters is divided into two floors, each serving a distinct purpose:

The first floor contains essential infrastructure, including common areas and private living quarters for high-ranking gang members.

• Main Entrance & Security Checkpoint: A narrow passageway leads to the Copper Gate, reinforced with reclaimed materials from the Last Frontier. Access is heavily restricted, with Zark Warriors guarding the entrance, enforcing a strict knocking code and interrogation protocol.
• Hoo Stable: A secured cavern that houses the gang’s Hoos (beast-like riding animals). This stable ensures the gang’s steeds are well-kept and ready for travel. Olai Nygard oversees their care and training.
• Kitchen & Food Pantry: A communal kitchen where food is prepared for the gang. Supplies are either stolen, raided, or traded.
• Communal Dining Hall: Large enough to seat around 80 members, reinforcing gang camaraderie. Wooden tables and dishware were looted from Federal settlements.
• Sleeping Quarters (General Members): Four separate sleeping areas, one per department, each with hammocks and small storage chests for personal belongings.
• Guest Quarters: Small, windowless room for visiting allies.
• Private Quarters of Jane Mendoza: The most lavish area, featuring a waterbed, an advanced bathroom from the Last Frontier, and a Service Bot for assistance.
• Four Associate Chambers: Less luxurious but still private, each reflecting the personality and status of Jane’s closest advisors.
• * Main Cave: The heart of the headquarters, serving as a ceremonial hall, strategic meeting point, and execution site. Features include:
• U-Shaped Table for the Top 45 (Jane’s leadership team).
• Memorial Stone for fallen gang members.
• Execution Platform for carrying out the Death of Disgrace.
• Chandelier of Knives and Weapons, a symbol of gang strength.
• Lava Stream Heating System running beneath the glass-paneled floor.

The lower level is carved into the bedrock beneath the first floor and divided into three main sections:

1. The Zark Tribe’s Exclusive Area: Home to 350 Zark Tribe warriors, who maintain their own autonomous section within the gang’s stronghold. Includes communal sleeping quarters, training areas, and spiritual shrines dedicated to their warrior traditions.

2. High-Security Zone (Restricted Access): Accessible only to Jane Mendoza, her Associates, and the Top 10 members of each department. Guards patrol the area constantly.

• Prison Cells: Contain captured enemies, traitors, and debtors who have yet to face punishment or ransom negotiations.
• Drug Lab: Overseen by the Department for Drug Operations, producing Shika and other illicit substances.
• Weapons Storage: Vaults holding confiscated weapons, experimental firearms, and Federal tech obtained from raids.
• Korozo Den: A sprawling cavern where trained Korozos are housed and bred for security purposes. Only experienced handlers can enter safely.

3. General Storage & Open-Access Area An area accessible to most gang members, storing supplies and stolen goods. Holds food, medical supplies, textiles, and valuables from raids. These are either used by the gang or traded on the black market in Firetown.

The headquarters operates under a strict hierarchical structure, with Jane Mendoza at the top. Security is handled by both Zark Tribe warriors and elite gang members, ensuring no outsider infiltrates the headquarters without consequence.

Zark Warriors patrol key areas, including the entrance, Main Cave, and high-security zones. The knocking code at the entrance is strictly enforced, and failure to comply results in immediate execution.

Service Bots are used for maintenance, meal preparation, and Jane’s personal assistance, but they are also equipped with defensive measures, capable of neutralizing intruders with venomous spray attacks. The combination of natural terrain, advanced security, and ruthless enforcement makes the Jane Mendoza Gang Headquarters one of the most well-protected locations in the Dark Side.

The headquarters' precise location remains one of the best-kept secrets on VOI 700 D. Only gang members and Zark Tribe warriors know its exact coordinates.

Any outsider who stumbles upon the headquarters is executed immediately unless they have a strategic value for ransom or intelligence extraction. This secrecy ensures the continued survival and dominance of Jane Mendoza’s operation.
