The pilot training facility is split into two distinct sections. The first is a medical unit. In this section, new pilots are fitted with neuro-implants that allow him or her to be in complete unison with their vehicles, sensors, and fellow warriors. This interface allows the pilot to merely think about the controls in order to make them happen. Additionally it allows vehicles with multiple crew members and members of a lance to communicate instantaneously. Orders are no longer given and affirmed; thoughts are combined in a collective consciousness that can contemplate final outcomes with greater speed than the individual. The intense sensory overload commonly drives new pilots insane before proper training can be implemented.

The second half of the facility is composed of 24, total immersion, virtual reality ‘pods.’ Newly outfitted pilots are inserted into a pod, the implanted interface is linked to the main frame system, and then each pilot is gradually exposed to the level of input that one will experience on the battlefield. Depending on the pilot, it takes from 7-16 weeks before the brain can process all the new sensory inputs it is exposed to. Once accustomed to this level of intensity, the pilots undergo 18 months of battle preparation.

The training process takes approximately two to three years for each pilot. The pilots themselves are at this facility 24 hours a day for this duration. All of their nutritional needs and bodily functions are tended to inside the training pods. Taking out this building means that the owner of the building has lost up to two years of time and money invested in their new pilots.
