The primary command-and-control orbital space station of S.W.O.R.D. (Sentient World Observation and Response Department). S.W.O.R.D. is a counterterrorism and intelligence agency that deals with extraterrestrial threats to world security. S.W.O.R.D. is also a subdivision of the better known S.H.I.E.L.D. but appears to be largely autonomous of its parent organization and since the departure of Nick Fury as director of S.H.I.E.L.D., relations between the two organizations have become strained. The head of S.W.O.R.D is Special Agent Abigail Brand.
