(HATSUREISHO) A
command room reminiscent of the bridge of a
military ship, located inside the Central Operations Room of
NERV HQ. During combat,
seven core staff including the
Commander (Gendou Ikari), Deputy Commander (Kouzou Fuyutsuki) and
Operations Chief (Misato Katsuragi) assemble here, and all instructions are issued from this centre. There are at least two such command centres in
NERV HQ, and since the first was destroyed by the intrusion of the 14th
Angel, the second command centre is currently in use. The original
MAGI system is installed in the three sub-command centres located below the command centre, and this becomes a cause for hesitation on the part of the invading
JSSDF.
