Area 49-B is a minor (later major) location that appears in 3Below. It's a top secret military base that belongs to the U.S. military, and captures aliens and dissects them. It is similar to Area 51.
Colonel Kubritz was the commanding officer of this base, until she ultimately joined Morando's cause and became a rogue "terrorist"; Kubritz was was eventually killed by Morando after she betrayed him.
History
The Area 49-B has existed for several decades. Its members are dedicated to capture and imprison any form of extraterrestrial life that reaches Earth, without worrying about their motives. Its existence is kept secret from the rest of the world, but there have been mere rumors about experiments with extraterrestrials that carry out there.
System
The Area is highly fortified with explosive walls and advanced security systems. Because of their high contact with aliens, they have been able to assimilate much of their technology.
