ORE Technologies Applied Research Center

Description

This structure is one of several major research and development facilities used by Outer Ring Excavations and its subsidiaries to remain on the forefront of resource extraction and processing technology. The advancements developed and refined in this center and the surrounding testing yard are then transferred to ORE facilities across the region for mass production and distribution.

Until recently, the location of this testing yard had been kept confidential as a trade secret by ORE and the Upwell Consortium to guard against industrial espionage by rival mining corporations. Unfortunately, such secrecy proved completely insufficient to prevent a recent attack and theft orchestrated by the Angel Cartel, and Upwell's leadership decided to stop shielding the deadspace signature of this facility and instead focus their resources on increased numbers of armed guards from Mordu's Legion.
