The Battle Room is one of the main locations within Fortress Eternity in the Eternal Champions series. The room is rather spectacular on first inspection, mainly consisting of a large open space surrounded by a simple computer panel and a large window overlooking the city. It is here that the nine chosen Champions were first summoned and met The Eternal Champion. After this, the Battle Room served as the prime setting for their training and the two Days of Determination.
As part of being specifically built to assist warriors in their combat exercises, the Battle Room contained a multitude of deadly weapons that would normally have the possibility of killing its target, from laser-firing orbs to buzzsaws and other mechanical threats. However, the Battle Room was able to regulate the battles, making the "indicators [go] to red and the systems shut down". Things could still get hairy for the people inside, such as when Slash's beating of the computers with his club caused Jonathan Blade. After Slash managed to get himself locked in (with Xavier Pendragon refusing to help), Blade and Midknight were enlisted to simplify the machines for the ape-man's use. In revenge for his earlier defiance, Slash then locked Xavier in a difficult Battle Room exercise until sunset.
