BAWS Arsenal No. 2 is a munitions factory on Rubicon 3 that is owned and operated by Belius Applied Weapon Systems. It is located along the coast in the northern region of the Belius landmass, in the vicinity of The Wall and Watchpoint Delta.
Overview[]
BAWS Arsenal No. 2 was one of multiple facilities operated by Belius Applied Weapon Systems, a Rubiconian manufacturer of Armored Cores, AC parts, Muscle Tracers, and other military weapons and vehicles. Since BAWS presented itself as a neutral party that was willing to sell its products to anyone and everyone, BAWS facilities were treated as neutral ground during the Coral War and spared from coming under attack from the extraplanetary corporations despite BAWS's obvious ties to the Rubicon Liberation Front. BAWS Arsenal No. 2 was of particular importance to the RLF because it contained a Well, a natural spring of Coral fed by a leak from a larger subterranean Coral flow, and the Coral drawn from it was used by the RLF forces stationed at The Wall to raise the mealworms that the Rubiconian people relied on for food. The Well's existence was known only to BAWS and the RLF, and it was disguised as an ordinary water reservoir so that it would not be seized by other parties.
In Investigate BAWS Arsenal No. 2, the arsenal suddenly falls silent and the RLF, having grown cautious following the devastating loss of their EB-0309 STRIDER, hires the independent mercenary C4-621 "Raven" to investigate it. C4-621 discovers that the arsenal's staff was seemingly wiped out by a squad of unidentified automated mechs using encrypted comms and Monitor Display Deception jamming. C4-621 clears out the mechs, but their owner and their purpose in attacking the arsenal are left a mystery.
In Obstruct the Mandatory Inspection, C4-621 is hired by another independent mercenary, Kate Markson, to disrupt an official inspection of BAWS Arsenal No. 2 being carried out by the Planetary Closure Administration. While Kate does not elaborate on her reasons for interfering with the PCA and protecting the arsenal, it is implied that Kate is an agent of ALLMIND and her intention was to prevent the arsenal's Well and its Coral from being seized by the PCA, which was necessary in order to carry out the Release Project.
