S.T.A.R. Labs (Earth-Prime)

"There's only three facilities in the state that could build a suit with that much bleeding-edge tech. But only one of them had someone brilliant enough to build it. Harrison Wells."

- Hartley Rathaway

Scientific and Technological Advanced Research Laboratories, or simply S.T.A.R. Labs, is a scientific research organization founded by Eobard Thawne, who impersonated the late Harrison Wells.

Creation
In 2000, shortly after murdering Harrison Wells, Eobard Thawne took over Wells' identity and founded S.T.A.R. Labs.

S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator Explosion
On December 11, 2013, "Wells" purposely sabotaged the particle accelerator and gave out a high amount of Dark Matter, turning countless into Metahumans. Among those are Barry Allen, who fell into a coma for nine months before discovering his newly gained connection to the Speed Force. Allen then worked with "Wells", bio-engineer Caitlin Snow and mechanical engineer Cisco Ramon as a team into becoming the superpowered vigilante, The Flash. The four soon based their operations in the damaged S.T.A.R. Labs Central City Facility for seven years and fought against rogue Metahumans in Central City.

The Man in the Yellow Suit
Eventually, as Allen became more familiar with his abilities, the team discovered that Wells was in fact the future time criminal and the murderer of Allen's mother, Eobard Thawne, the Reverse-Flash. The team exposed him and revealed to the world that Harrison Wells was a murderer. As a result, Allen was given the ownership of S.T.A.R. Labs and the organization continued to operate, though at a much smaller scale.

Erased Timeline
In an erased timeline where Thawne altered the timeline to make Barry seemingly lose his sanity, the S.T.A.R. Labs Central City Facility was over flood with CCDBS officers who attempted to destroy the facility due to the radiation leakage. Team Flash then relocated to Chester P. Runk's garage before the timeline was fully reset through Barry's reversal of the Reverse Flashpoint.
