SciLab

SciLab is a location from the MegaMan Battle Network series and as it's name suggests, it functions as a science laboratory.

It is a huge complex equipped with cutting edge technology and many important creations were spawned there, like the NetNavis and PETs. It's the workplace of Yuichiro Hikari and his father Tadashi Hikari, when he was alive. It is also home to the mother computer for Electopia. In MegaMan Battle Network 5, it acts as the base for Team Colonel or Team ProtoMan. The complex has been attacked many times in attempts to sabotage the Net and steal technology.

Game History
In the series, SciLab changes location between each game. In the first game it's located in the Government Complex, in Battle Network 2 it's located in the Center, and Battle Network 3 hosts it in its own building connected to the Metroline. In Battle Network 4, SciLab does not make an appearance at all, but it later reappears in another building in Battle Network 5 and then isn't seen again in the final game.

Anime History
It doesn't make an appearance until the end of the first season, but is seen regularly throughout Axess, Stream, Beast, and Beast+.

It basically serves the same purpose as its game counterpart; though unlike the game version, Dimensional Area and Synchro Chip research is its main function. It later serves as the test bed for the Dimensional Generator, which is widely used throughout Stream, Beast, and Beast+.

It's appearance is also vastly different compared to its game counterpart.
