The Korath III Base is a secret level in Keen 5. The Korath natives are only found in this level.
The layout of the level is tall and thin, with largely vertical movement. Roughly in the middle of the level is a long vertical drop with 160 Vitalin jars. This is located between the two large buildings that comprise the main part of the level.
The Korath III Base is not a typical Korath city; rather, it seems it was built by the Shikadi as a base of operations during the early stages of the Omegamatic's construction. As it became more complete, the Shikadi and most of their robot workforce moved aboard the Omegamatic. The base is still staffed by a small number of Little Amptons and also keeps active defense measures, but it is only used for protecting their getaway ship.
Playing this level on Easy difficulty with version 1.0 of Keen 5 will result in the game crashing with a "Goplat moved to bad spot" error a few seconds after entering the level. Playing on another difficulty will avoid this issue, as will upgrading to a later version of Keen 5.
