Damocles Base was a time traveling vessel that was used by Kang the Conqueror. Onboard Damocles Base, Kang and Scarlet Centurion began observing Captain America where they studied his combat technique whilst thinking of their strategy. (Avengers v3 #38)
Whilst lecturing the delegates, the military discovered the location of Damocles Base and fired missiles towards it. These warhead would not damage the craft whereupon Kang showed that he had revealed the location of his vessel to them on purpose. After the incident, Damocles began to block all radio transmissions in the area. After making his point, he removed the curtail on transmissions and teleported with Centurion back to his vessel. (Avengers v3 #42) At Damocles, Kang and Centurion would observe the Avengers as they battled the Atlanteans, Deviants and the Presence. He would tell the Scarlet Centurion on how a true commander considered all the factors on the battlefield. (Avengers v3 #43)
