Recently OWI has began to publish posts on their Twitter citing articles from this site, along with content that heavily implies that the wiki is in some way official or sanctioned.
We'd like to dispel this rumor now: The Fandom Wiki is 100% community run and has in fact been long plagued by information of dubious validity, despite the valiant efforts of its editors (whose job we really appreciate, keep up the good fight!). For this reason, we'd like to ask our readers to take everything here with a great chunk of salt, especially when it comes to content without valid citations.
If you wish to fight against misinformation, you're encouraged to contribute high-quality content to the wiki—that is content that's propped up by a trusted source (examples include: Oddworld.com, Magog on the March, or The Oddworld Library) and contain no headcanons, theorizing, or any further content not directly coming from Oddworld Inhabitants.
Thank you for your attention and understanding! Happy reading and editing!
The Slig Barracks was a large training ground where new Slig recruits learned basic skills required for becoming a member of security personnel. These skills included, but were not limited to: proficiency of firearms, overseeing workers, and becoming familiar with new technologies (such as the helicopter pack of the Flying Slig).
The Slig Barracks was under the command of a high ranking Glukkon officer, General Dripik. The Barracks was ultimately destroyed when Abe assassinated Dripik and freed the Mudokons there. It's believed that there may be more Barrack installations in operation within other regions of Mudos.

The landscape of the Slig Barracks
The Barracks generally consisted of tents, guard towers, and other installations that were required for the training of Sligs. As with Bonewerkz, a central hub within the Barracks can be used to access the head Glukkon's office, which is in this case, known as "The War Room". The area appears to have a green/yellow color scheme, perhaps to symbolise that this is a Slig encampment. There is also much smog in the skies of the barracks.
All violators will be shot, then confined to the stockade.

" Attention!
1.) You have entered the Headquarters of General Dripik!
2.) Only General Dripik can partially disarm the main gate of SoulStorm Brewery by speaking into the Glukkon Security Voicelock.
3.) Possession of General Dripik is against Regulations.
4.) Terminating General Dripik while he is possessed prior to disarming the main gates, is against Regulations and is punishable by death and dishonorable discharge.

Administration[]
In Soulstorm, it is not specified who runs the Slig Barracks. It is partially implied that the Sligs run it themselves, given that a representative of the facility does not go to Soulstorm Brewery to complain about the slave revolt that Abe started. Molluck is known to have gone to the Slig Barracks for reinforcements, after the ambushes at the Gorge and Sorrow Valley failed.
Facility[]
The surface of the facility is almost identical to how it was in Abe's Exoddus; army tents, watchtowers, and electric nodes covered in a green smog. As you go deeper, the differences become more apparent. At the lowest level of the facility are the furnaces, operated by Mudokons as opposed to the cleaning jobs that the slaves do elsewhere. These furnaces keep the Barracks moist and humid, which is the preferred living conditions of the Sligs. Since the furnaces are vital to the running of the Barracks, this area is heavily guarded. If production ever significantly falters, extra forces come down from the Comm Tower via a supply delivery car.
Comm Tower[]
The Slig Barrack's most noticeable addition is the Comm Tower. This building is a vital node in the communication system of Mudos. When Abe shuts it down, the entire Z-Line loses its ability to carry communications. The Comm Tower broadcasts news stories such as News for Your Blues and Magog on the March. This media is sometimes stored on Blahtta Tapes. Comm Towers are seemingly the only place where these tapes are still used. Abe uses the media players on the Comm Towers to learn of 'Projekt Soulstorm', and the unknown deadly affects of Soulstorm Brew.

- all violators are shot and killed before disciplinary measures are actually taken. This is an ongoing joke referring to the term, "shoot first, ask questions later".
