A stock photo of a gnarly lime tree. The tree that the Treebase was based on looked similar, though it was much smaller.

The Treebase was the spaceship that the Fourth Army used to travel across the universe in "the game". It was based on a real tree in the playground at their primary school, probably a common lime, that was unusually gnarly and short — the tree was a control panel and its bumps and gnarls were buttons and controls. The area around the tree was the 'control room'. The Treebase was loosely based on the TARDIS from Doctor Who; the cylindrical control panel that the pilot had to run around was vaguely analogous to the TARDIS's time column and hexagonal control panel.

Another tree on the playground, a beech tree, was considered a second Treebase, mostly used by the villains.
