Nerv's Evangelion Units are also launched from under the city, using access gates disguised as buildings, to fight the Angels. Some buildings are constructed as automated defensive emplacements, with multiple auto-cannon and guided missile turrets, used to provide suppressive heavy fire against any attacking Angel. Prior to any Angel attack, residents are immediately directed to emergency civil defense shelters located around the city perimeter each shelter is fortified with thick ferroconcrete walls and large enough to keep thousands of anxious residents protected and supplied with ample amounts of food, water, sanitation, ventilation, and heating. They are then protected by layers of heavy armor plating that rapidly slide over. The waterfront district at the southern part of the city includes the massive solar energy collection blocks, which provides natural lighting and electrical power for the city and the Nerv HQ complex.įor protection against damaging Angel attacks, most of the city's buildings are capable of quickly being retracted beneath the surface, using massive hydraulic actuation systems bringing them down and holding the buildings in place. Local government comprises of a city mayor and a council, all elected to office by popular vote, but most city operations and decision-making functions are made by Nerv's MAGI supercomputer.īelow the city lies the Geofront, a massive semi-spherical cavernous formation which also houses Nerv Headquarters. The city's current population consist mostly of Nerv personnel and their dependents, as well as migrant workers and the original inhabitants. It is apparently composed of a "central block" and seven "districts." Tokyo-3 spans roughly 1.5 km in length from one end of the city to the other, arranged in 5 "blocks," with each "block" section being 300 meters long. However, its true purpose is to coordinate the interception of Angels heading for Japan, covertly using Lilith as a means of attracting their attention. Originally intended to be a replacement third capital of Japan (after Tokyo-2, formerly Matsumoto, Nagano), the city was built on the location of the pre- Second Impact towns of Ubako and Sengokuhara within Hakone, in Kanagawa prefecture, on the northern shore of Lake Ashinoko. Tokyo-3 is the fortress-city underneath which Nerv Headquarters is built, meant to serve as a bastion against attacks by the Angels. Please help improve this article or section by expanding it.
