The Gammak base was a large, highly classified Peacekeeper installation in the Uncharted Territories. The base's primary function was as a science and research base under the command of Commander Javio. Also assigned to the station were Peacekeeper tech Gilina and Scarran-Sebacean hybrid Scorpius. This installation was involved in research toward the perfection of the memory extraction technology and the Aurora Chair; it was as part of this research that Stark was repeatedly tortured and eventually sent insane. The main purpose of the facility, however, was to conduct research on wormholes and technology based around them.
After Aeryn was injured and dying as a result, Crichton and Chiana, using Aeryn's Prowler and Larraq's stolen ident chip, infiltrated the base in an effort to acquire tissue samples to aid in Aeryn's recovery. Unfortunately, Scorpius detected Crichton's ruse, by noticing that Crichton's energy signature was 'distinct from that of Sebaceans.' Chiana managed to escape from the base with the tissue sample while Crichton underwent torture at the hands of Crais and Scorpius. Eventually Crichton, as well as Stark were rescued from the facility. It was later destroyed during Moya's escape.
Scorpius would later have a new gammak base constructed to continue his wormhole research.
