New Nerv Headquarters

SPOILER WARNING! This article or section contains spoiler information from Evangelion media that has been recently released and/or is of limited distribution. Do not read any further if you do not want to spoil your experience of said media.

In Evangelion 3.0 after 14 years Nerv headquarters has undergone extensive changes. New Nerv Headquarters itself now sits perched thousands of meters above the old Geofront, in the midst of a post-Third Impact wasteland. The ruins of the old Headquarters sit entombed at the bottom of a massive inverted concrete pyramid containing the New HQ. The logo of Nerv itself has also been changed into one featuring glyphs.

The New Headquarters contains many of the old Nerv facilities, though most lie in ruins. The entire complex appears to be completely automated, with only Gendo, Fuyutsuki, Rei, Kaworu, and now Shinji the only living people shown within. Both the inside and outside of the facilities are pocked with craters, seemingly from a battle of some kind. Parts of the facility are also filled with frozen Bakelite. The damage alludes to events similar to those seen in a separate continuity -- specifically during the JSSDF attack in The End of Evangelion -- but the exact causes are currently unknown.

Eva-13's Pod

Eva-13 is constructed, or possibly grown, inside a pod similar to the main engine to the AAA Wunder, which is situated inside a colossal chamber.

Gendo's old Office

Parts of Gendo's old office have miraculously survived Zeruel's attack, and are now exposed to the air. Gendo and Fuyutsuki still hold meetings inside.

Lilith's Chamber

At the bottommost level of Central Dogma lies Lilith's chamber, which as well as Lilith herself, has been altered greatly by the events of Third Impact.

Seele Monolith Chamber

The largely silent Seele monoliths float high in the air inside a chamber somewhere in the New HQ. The chamber also contains machinery which Fuyutsuki later uses to disable the monoliths, as well as an anti-gravity device which Gendo later uses to float up to speak with the monoliths.
