Mother Base was nearly the target of a nuclear strike by the unmanned Peace Walker weapon, initiated by CIA Station Chief Hot Coldman. Their home would also come to be known as " Outer Heaven", a place for outsiders that was not governed by accepted norms. Its size grew over time, fueled by captured enemy materiél, and the plant essentially became a country in itself.

Shortly thereafter, the plant fell into the hands of KGB agent Vladimir Zadornov, who was speculated to have bought the plant through a dummy company. However, they were unable to solve the thermal efficiency problem, so the project was ultimately scrapped. It was also originally planned for it to link up with similar facilities if it succeeded.

The plant was originally built by an American university for use as a research platform for Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC), with some assistance from the U.S. 4.10.2.6 Metal Gear ZEKE - Mock Battle.4.10.2.3 Target Practice: Score Attack.
