Mah'habara Subterra

The Mah'habara Subterra (マハーバラ坑道, Mahaabara-koudou) is a location on Gran Pulse in Final Fantasy XIII. It is a vast network of underground tunnels carved by the fal'Cie, Atomos, who is seen rolling through the area. Before the War of Transgression people used to mine precious minerals in the tunnels, but now only the remnants of mining operations can be found, including a variety of excavation robots.

Story
The party enters the Subterra after finding it to be the only way out of the Archylte Steppe. When Hope falls off a Dreadnought and into the path of Atomos, other nearby Dreadnoughts jump down to stop the fal'Cie, which allows the party to board it and ride to the tunnels' end near Oerba.
