Knowhere is the Collector's base of operations, a refuge hidden between dimensions in which he keeps his treasures and zoos. It's built inside a dead Celestials's head.
History
Guardians of the Galaxy
After escaping from the Kyln, the Guardians arrived at Knowhere with the intention of selling The Orb to The Collector. After he explains that the Orb is a containment device for an Infinity Stone of immense power, his assistant Carina attempted to free herself from his servitude by using the orb but she and the Collectors museum were destroyed, releasing a dog and a talking duck in the process.
Meanwhile Drax, obsessed with avenging the deaths of his wife and daughter, alerted Ronan to their presence. Ronan's forces attacked Knowhere while he and Drax faced each other in hand-to-hand combat. After overpowering Drax, Ronan took possession of the Orb.
