Neon Genesis Evangelion glossary - Locales
Neon Genesis Evangelion glossary - Black Moon
The Egg of Lilith - the empty "egg" from which all human (a.k.a. Lilim) souls originated. Buried beneath the surface of the Earth, it was unwittingly used by NERV as their base of operations (see GeoFront).
Neon Genesis Evangelion glossary - White Moon
The egg from which all "shito" (Angels) originated from, located in Antarctica.
Neon Genesis Evangelion glossary - GeoFront
A spherical cavern, protected by 22 layers of armored bulk heads, located under Tokyo-3. NERV headquarters is located inside the GeoFront. This is later revealed to be the Egg of Lilith, from which Humanity was born.
Neon Genesis Evangelion glossary - NERV-02
NERV-02 is the North American branch of NERV. It is located somewhere in the Nevada Desert and was destroyed along with everything in an 89km radius when Eva Unit-04's S² Engine was activated.
Neon Genesis Evangelion glossary - NERV-03
NERV-03 (also known simply as "NERV-Germany") is the branch of NERV located in Germany. Eva-02 was constructed here, and Asuka apparently trained here with her unit for some time, before both were transfered to the main NERV branch at Tokyo-3 via a UN naval convoy.
Neon Genesis Evangelion glossary - Tokyo-3
Located above the GeoFront, with buildings that can retract into the ground for safety, and buildings that contain large Evangelion equipment. Tokyo-3 is projected to replace Tokyo-2 as capital of Japan. However, Tokyo-3 was designed to intercept all incoming angels to Japan. The city is protected with numerous defense missile stations around it. It was built in the location of pre-Impact Hakone.
Neon Genesis Evangelion glossary - Tokyo-2
Tokyo-2 is the capital of Japan, and was built after the Second Impact destroyed Tokyo (Tokyo-1). Created in the location of today's Nagano.
Neon Genesis Evangelion glossary - Tokyo Tokyo-1
Partially under-water ruins seen in the series. Destroyed when the first N2 bomb was dropped on it during the war, which broke out as a result of tensions post-Second Impact. An official document on the Second Impact is shown in the series for a brief moment (see [1]). The Japanese Prime Minister also states in The End of Evangelion that he wants Tokyo-3 to be so utterly destroyed and made completely uninhabitable that "no one can touch it for the next 20 years... like old Tokyo".
Neon Genesis Evangelion glossary - Terminal Dogma
The deepest level of the NERV Headquarters, where Lilith and the Lance of Longinus are kept. It is ostensibly locked to all but the highest members of NERV (Gendou, Fuyutsuki, possibly Ritsuko), however Kaji gains entrance and shows Misato its contents shortly before the completion of his final mission.
Lilith is stored here impaled upon a massive red cross (similar to the one Eva Unit-03 is transported on). It is crucified and pierced through the torso with the Lance, much like Jesus. The wound from the Lance has not healed and LCL seems to bleed from it. This has caused a small lake of LCL to form around the cross which functions as the reservoir for NERV's LCL needs.
Neon Genesis Evangelion glossary - Central Dogma
NERV's pyramid-like control center located inside the GeoFront. Terminal Dogma is directly below it. Central Dogma takes its name from the central dogma of molecular biology, which explains the concepts of translation and transcription of genetic information.
Neon Genesis Evangelion glossary - Antarctica
Location of the Second Impact, during which it was destroyed; the continent is now completely submerged in a sea devoid of life, but with pillars of ice protruding through its red surface. Humans cannot survive here, and must be shielded behind thick barriers.
Neon Genesis Evangelion glossary - Sea of LCL
A world in which there are no AT Fields, human consciousness is not divided between different bodies and the souls of all of humanity reside in a giant sea of primordial soup. The theoretical pinnacle of existence (according to SEELE) and ultimate goal of the Human Instrumentality Project.
