Undoubtedly inspired by the memorable headquarters for the superheroes of old... the Fortress of Solitude and Secret Citadel of the Supermen, the Batcaves of the Batmen, the satellites and Gotham gathering-sites of the Justice League and Justice Society... the 30th century Legion of Super-Heroes & Defenders/Space Legion had heroic halls of their own.
On 30th century Earth-One, the Legion of Super-Heroes initially used a smaller rocketship style headquarters, which was damaged during a battle with their arch-foes the Fatal Five. This structure would later be repaired and claimed by the Legion of Substitute Heroes instead. The original Legion constructive a far larger structure for their second base of operations by utilizing the Miracle Machine developed by the extra-dimensional Controllers, although not long after a third more permanent headquarters was designed by Legionnaire Brainiac Five and the robotic foe-turned-ally Computo. As with its forebearers, the current Legion HQ located in Metropolis.
On 30th century Earth-Two, since there was no super-heroes of that time period aside from Brane Taylor and his son Ricky aka the future Batman and Robin (Craig “Superman” King has apparently retired at this point in time), the only base of operations for costumes champions in that era was Brane’s Bat-Belfry which mirrored the Legion rocketship. There were two headquarters for the Defenders and their successors the Space Legion, one in Metropolis and one under the sea. Both structures had Halls of Justice, honoring the heroes of the 20th century. While the Space Legion and its sister organization has no superpowered members, the counterparts of the Legion on this world still heroically defended their solar system from various threats, from their days as the Junior Federal Men until they graduated as an Adult Legion when the Justice Society later met them.
