Babylon Labs
Last updated 2026-08-04
The Babylon Labs, also known as the Tower of Babylon, are located in Siberia, Russia, with very huge snowfields.[1] The Babylon Labs is a Honkai Energy research base that was built by Schicksal,[1][2] and is managed by Otto Apocalypse himself.[3] This is also the place where the Second Eruption started.[4]
The Babylon Laboratory
On Earth, in the Siberian snowfields, stands the second-largest Honkai Energy Research Facility: the Babylon Laboratory.[5] The Babylon Laboratory has the world's third-largest Honkai-capacity Reactor,[5] with a power of up to 6,500 HW.[6] For comparison, the Honkai Welt of the 4th Herrscher was only 2,000 HW.[7] Such a high-intensity Honkai power can be gathered without Honkai, thanks to extremely tight isolation facilities.[citation needed]
There are three departments in Babylon's laboratory, the only one which is mentioned is the Advanced System Lab, which disguises itself as a medical institution for the treatment of Honkai energy diseases.[8] However, in reality, it studies the technology that combines Honkai energy with the human body.[9] It experiments on orphaned children and is said by Sirin to have abused them.[citation needed]
Babylon Laboratory Design
The inside of Babylon Labs is said to look like a prison.[3] The tower has an elevator that goes to the top floor and a two-story room with holding cells on the first floor and guards' rooms on the second,[10] however, the elevator is only accessible with a digital key.[11] In the tower, there is also a safe house.[12] Floors underneath the safe house are mentioned to be a prison, factory, and lab.[13] Deeper in the lab is where incubation pods for Honkai-experimented-on children reside,[14] and at the end of the corridor is a terminal that unlocks a door to the top of the tower.[15] While the exact location is unknown, a door leading to the Advanced System Lab is also present in the corridor.[16]
The tower has 50 floors in total, with Honkai reactors being located at the bottom 20 floors while the three research divisions are located in the other 30.[5]
Research Divisions
The three research divisions have a total of 322 staff, which are compiled of doctors[17] and researchers.[1]
- Advanced System Lab:
- Weapons Division:
- Responsible for using theories from Energy Division to craft weapons for field operations by using Honkai Energy. Currently assists the HQ in the research of Pantheon-Series weapons.[8]
- Energy Division:
- Focuses on theoretical research related to the Honkai and gives support to the other two divisions as required.[8]
