Formally known as the Shops Intelligence Agency Museum of History and Culture, and almost always instead called the "SIA Museum" is a museum located on the Fort Robson SIA Base in Vonkouver, Southern Shops Island. It was originally just a large office building for the SIA, but most of the empty space in the building, along with a large hangar near the building were transformed into a museum on LMGT's order in mid-2013.
Exhibits[edit]
- SIA: The Real Deal
- This is the main entrance part of the museum. It focuses on and describes the actual intelligence-gathering and spywork part of the agency.
- SIA by land
- This part of the museum covers the Shops Island army forces. It includes information and relics from conflicts such as The Great Yowien War and the Fall of Nexon.
- SIA by air
- Basically the same as SIA by land, except it covers the SIA Flying Corps. Multiple air and spacecraft are located in Hangar 03 since they wouldn't fit in the building, but smaller aircraft such as helicopters are shown inside, along with other history pieces such as a few uncharged SIA drones.
- SIA by sea
- The same as the previous two exhibits, except it covers the naval fleet. Although the base itself has a naval station, no live ships are involved with the museum. Instead, the inside of the museum has smaller scale replicas of many of the Shopper Fleet's well-known warships and aircraft carriers. The main exhibit artifact is a recently used Shopper Amphibious Tank.
- SIA by space
- A relatively small area in the museum, that encompases history and artifacts from Shopper space expeditions and the SIA Space Command Fleet. Some specific showpieces include the original Shopscovery Spacecraft deployed capsule, the spacesuits worn by the first Shopper astronauts, and two spacecraft: a Speeder and an Actis. In addition, "Hangar 3" also boats some of the fleet's larger spacecraft.
- 9001st, Lead the Way!
- As it's name implies, this area covers the historic 9001st Legion, who have basically served as a sort of "Shopper Marines". This section originally wasn't going to exist, but after the legion's show of strength during the Fall of Nexon, LMGT figured it would be the perfect addition.
- Hangar 03
- Hangar 03 was a hangar formerly used for active Shopper aircraft, but was re-assigned to be a hangar for the museum in mid-2013, as it's the closest hangar to the actual museum building. It contains many large aircraft such as fighter jets, heavy bombers and a single super bomber, as well as spacecraft like the Lancer. In addition to flying objects, this hangar also contains many land-bound artillery units such as tanks.
Admission[edit]
Admission to the museum is free to the public, and it is open from 8 AM to 5 PM on Monday-Friday and 9 AM to 8 PM on Saturday.
Although admission is free, the museum is still located on an active military base. As such, any non-military personnel must go through an inspection upon entering the base, so they can be cleared as non-terrorists.
