Location from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
District 2's military command center carved into a mountain — the Capitol's most fortified position outside the Capitol itself, and the target that nearly broke the rebellion's conscience when they sealed it shut.
The Nut is District 2's beating heart — a military installation carved deep into mountain rock, housing the Capitol's regional command infrastructure, weapons manufacturing, and Peacekeeper coordination. Taking it was essential to the rebellion. Gale proposed the strategy that worked: collapse the tunnel entrances with targeted avalanches and seal the ventilation shafts, suffocating everyone inside — soldiers and civilians alike. It was tactically brilliant and morally devastating. Katniss opposed it. They compromised by leaving one exit open. The people who staggered out were met with bullets anyway. The Nut became the moment the rebellion had to decide whether it was willing to become what it was fighting against.
A massive mountain with armored doors set into the rock face. Ventilation shafts dot the upper slopes. Inside: command floors, weapons storage, barracks, communications arrays. Built to survive direct bombardment. The mountain itself is the fortress.
Also known as: the Nut, District 2 military facility
