The view of the Rig from the air.

PHQ, besides being a marvel of architectural design with its arches and towers, was a floating base of operations that a squadron of local superheroes called home and outfitted with a forcefield bubble and a missile defense system. It was visible from pretty much any point on the Docks.<ref name="1.03">The Boardwalk was where the tourists came. Running north-to-south along the beach, there were shops that sold dresses for over a thousand dollars, cafes with ludicrously expensive coffees and stretches of wooden walkways and beaches where tourists could get a great view of the ocean. From pretty much any point on the Docks, you could see one of Brockton Bay’s landmarks, the Protectorate Headquarters. Besides being a marvel of architectural design with its arches and towers, the PHQ was a floating base of operations that a squadron of local superheroes called home, outfitted with a forcefield bubble and a missile defense system. There had never been occasion for either to be used, but I had to admit, it made you feel safer. - Excerpt from Gestation 1.3</ref> The forcefield made everything seen through it look oversaturated, like a TV with bad picture settings.<ref name="7.x">She went to the window and stared at the city across the water. Colors shifted subtly in the refracted light of the PHQ’s forcefield, oversaturating the view like a TV with bad picture settings. - Excerpt from Interlude 7</ref>

The headquarters of the Protectorate East-North-East is a refitted oil rig of some sort that sits out in Brockton Bay. Noted for having a powerful forcefield and defense missiles that have never been used. Most likely a fully anchored sort of rig and attached to a concrete pad underwater for stability. Did not appear to be greatly affected by being ripped up during the Battle against Leviathan.

A forcefield roadway is used when traveling to and from the base.<ref name="R5">2) Forcefield roadway, same as the field that was supposed to break the incoming waves. - Where does Armsmaster park his Motorcycle?(Wildbow, Reddit, 2015-08-17)</ref>
