The Survey Corps' headquarters is a castle located far from major cities and towns, as well as the Walls and rivers. The location's remoteness plays into the Corps' hands: locals rarely bother the soldiers.

The main parts of the complex:

Castle (above-ground part):

Barracks are living quarters for soldiers and cadets.

The dining room is a place for eating.

The Arsenal is a storage facility for weapons, equipment, and spatial maneuvering devices.

A warehouse is a room for storing provisions, ammunition and other necessary supplies.

Yard:

Stables - These are where the horses used during expeditions beyond the Walls are kept.

The training ground is an open area for practicing combat skills, Long-Range Detection Formation tactics, and UMP exercises.

Dungeon (underground part):

Dungeon cells are holding cells for prisoners. For example, Eren Yeager (guarded by Captain Levi's elite squad) and Annie Leonhart were held here after her capture.

The Research Squad Lab is where Hange Zoe and her assistants conduct experiments. Specifically, the captured Titans Bean and Sony were previously kept here until they were destroyed by unknown assailants.

General atmosphere and features:

The castle had been unused for a long time and had fallen into disrepair; upon arrival, soldiers under Levi's command were forced to carry out a large-scale cleaning.

The facility combines a military base (training, preparation for expeditions, equipment storage) and a research center (study of titans and Eren's special abilities).

The castle's location and fortified structure ensure the safety and secrecy of operations and experiments, which is critical in the face of constant threats from titans and political instability.

The setting is based on humanity being trapped within three giant walls, fleeing from the Titans: enormous humanoid creatures that mindlessly hunt and devour humans.

Key elements:

Walls. Three concentric walls (Maria, Rose, Sina), approximately 50 meters high, protect the last human settlements.

Titans. Monsters ranging in height from 3 to over 60 meters. Their weak point is the back of the head. They don't require food, but they kill people; they are driven by instinctive thirst. Regular titans are nearly mindless, but there are "intelligent" ones (nine special titans with unique abilities).

Society and power. Strict hierarchy:

The Survey Corps risks their lives exploring the world beyond the walls and fighting titans.

The garrison guards the walls.

Military police - maintain order within the walls, often corrupt.

Technology. Due to isolation, progress is limited. The primary weapon against titans is the "spatial maneuvering device" (SMD): it allows one to fly between buildings and trees to attack the vulnerable spot on the back of a titan's head.

The main conflict. The story begins with the breach of Wall Maria. The main characters—Eren, Mikasa, and Armin—join the Survey Corps to fight titans and uncover the world's secrets. As the story progresses, it becomes clear that:

the world beyond the walls exists;

Titans are not original monsters, but the result of manipulation;

The people inside the walls are not all of humanity, but only part of a complex and tragic history.

Main themes: Freedom, the price of survival, the cycle of hatred, propaganda, the clash of truth and lies, the moral dilemmas of war.
