Flying headquarters: Honor Guard HQ is a hi-tech airborne vessel traveling over the Western area of the United States, though location has varied. It brims with advanced technologies, including cloaking technology, shielded armor made of high density, heavily reinforced alloyed metals. It is a moderate sized structure, complete with personal quarters, meeting area, a trophy room (displaying weapons, artifacts, special tools, communication devices and various memorabilia from the team's past cases), a technology center(complete with an extraterrestrial-alien detector) and other areas necessary for controlling and maintaining this all important headquarters.

Repli-Matrix: A crystal seized from Tritonian slavers early in Honor Guard's career. The device possesses replication powers of some sort, and Honor Guard regularly used it for reconstruction purposes after super-battles. Some time prior to late 2001, the alien conqueror Kroseth IV of Antares merged his essence with the Repli-Matrix. Though he then escaped the device the next time it was used, it is unknown whether Honor Guard has permanently retired the crystal in light of these events.
