The Piraka Stronghold was a fortress the Piraka resided in and forced a team of Matoran, led by Velika, to build. Matoran were later forbidden to enter.

History
The central chamber of the fortress held a cylindrical gathering crystal for Antidermis. If anyone besides Zaktan approached the crystal, they would experience dizziness, pain, and confusion. This is also where the Piraka tested their new weapon on Dezalk, a Ta-Matoran. Many other chambers could be found throughout the stronghold, including the Chamber of Truth and a large chamber acting as a trophy room or training room. A pair of contraptions in the center of this training chamber trained users to stay atop a Rahi such as Tahtorak, while a cage and a collection of trophies each occupied a corner of the room. High on the wall of the same room, the six Kanohi Nuva plundered from the conquered Toa Nuva hung from large, rusty nails. The stronghold was protected by numerous robotic Nektann.
The stronghold was greatly damaged after being the location of a battle between Hakann and Thok against the other four Piraka, Brutaka, and the Toa Inika. When the Tahtorak was accidentally freed from the Field of Shadows by Brutaka during his battle against Axonn, it tore a hole through the wall of the stronghold. The stronghold was eventually obliterated during Voya Nui's descent back to the Southern Continent.
Set Information
The Piraka Stronghold was released as a playset in 2006. It contained six Piraka and six Toa Inika minifigures.
An Antidermis Zamor Sphere was mounted on a stand in one of the towers to represent Zaktan's Crystal of Collection, and from the same tower they could be rolled down a track to another tower equipped with a Zamor Launcher. A gear beneath the track allowed the spheres to be transported one by one.
One of the stronghold's gates is a giant blue replica of a Skakdi-like face akin to those faces featured in the Thok and Irnakk sets. Six pointed teeth are jointed so as to open and allow access.
Also included in the set were a smaller gate, a red battery-powered light intended to act as a laser in conjunction with a lens piece, another Zamor Launcher mounted on a moveable platform, a Lavaboard, and a chariot drawn by a Zamor Launcher-wielding Fenrakk Spawn Spider.
