Lunar Base

The Lunar Base is a location in Final Fantasy VIII. It is a base located in outer space, created to watch over Adel, sealed inside a suspension seal.

When Squall and his friends arrive here, they are bringing along Rinoa, who has fallen into a coma for reasons unknown. They meet up with the leader, Piet, who explains all about Adel's suspension seal. They talk to Ellone, and Squall tries to use her gift to go back into Rinoa's past to find out what happened to her. However, in the middle of the talk, Rinoa wakes up, although she does not act like herself. She puts on an astronaut suit and goes out into space, and breaks Adel's Seal.

Back on earth, Seifer performs the Lunar Cry, bringing monsters from the moon down to earth, together with Adel. Rinoa is left for dead after Ultimecia, who had possessed her all this time, her mission fullfilled, leaves her for Adel. The Lunar Base is drawn near the moon, and Squall, Ellone and Piet attempt to escape inside an escape pod. The Lunar Base is destroyed. Onboard the pod, Squall begs Ellone to go back into Rinoa's past, and she succeeds. The truth about Ultimecia comes for a day, and Squall, goes out into space after Rinoa. He eventually rescues her, and they find the Ragnarok, and go back to earth.
