| rdfs:comment | - Cloudbase is the operational headquarters of international security organisation Spectrum, from Captain Scarlet And The Mysterons. In the New Captain Scarlet series, it is called Skybase. Originally conceived as a security organisation, Spectrum needed an HQ that could be top-secret yet easily accessible to its operatives. Early designs for a submarine, a space station, a floating island, and a Saharan complex were rejected. Ultimately, plans were approved for an aircraft carrier-like structure that was able to float on the edge of Earth's atmosphere using a combination of turbo fans and newly-developed anti-gravity technology.
- Colonel White, Supreme Commander-In-Chief of the Spectrum Organisation, also serves as the Commanding Officer of the carrier itself, with Lieutenant Green as his aide. As a defense for Cloudbase, several Angel interceptor aircraft, flown by the female members of the Angel Flight, are always kept on stand-by status, and launch quickly as soon as they are alerted. The Spectrum senior staff are stationed here for duty, including Captain Scarlet and Captain Blue, and the carrier also carries other aircraft, including Spectrum Passenger Jets.

The Spectrum senior staff are stationed here for duty, including Captain Scarlet and Captain Blue, and the carrier also carries other aircraft, including Spectrum Passenger Jets. Cloudbase has several rooms and facilities for Spectrum personnel, including: 1.
* The Control Room, where Colonel White and Lieutenant Green customarily work. 2.
* A "room of sleep," where personnel can get sleep whenever they may need it. 3.
* Lounges where members can relax. 4.
* A sickbay, including a surgical theatre, manned primarily by Dr. Fawn. 5.
* A conference room. Since Cloudbase is so high in Earth's atmosphere, a chance of attack from the Mysterons is unlikely, but since Captain Black touched off the Mysteron-Earthman War Of Nerves, the Mysterons have tried several times to destroy it. In "White As Snow," they even took over a satellite from space and used it to try to destroy Cloudbase. But Colonel White dispatched the Symphony Angel to destroy the satellite; to this end, she needed to launch but one of her interceptor's missiles. The Mysterons were shown, in "Attack On Cloudbase," to have managed to destroy Cloudbase with their flying saucers, but this was revealed to be a hallucination they had planted in the Symphony Angel's mind whilst she was stranded in the desert, and Cloudbase and the Spectrum personnel were all revealed to be safe.
