Description

Hephaestus Research was a large and advanced research center dedicated purely to robotics. They developed robots for various different roles including military, industrial and medical. It is said that important progress was made there, but it was all forgotten when Biocorp fell apart.

Right before the earthquake at the beginning of the game, Protectorate had dispatched an expedition to Hephaestus Research in hopes of finding advanced robotics technology to use against the Faceless.

Outer Facility

This section needs expansion.

Inner Facility

This section needs expansion.

Enemies

Hephaestus Research houses perhaps the largest Burrower infestation in the entire Lower Underrail. The facility is completely overtaken by Burrowers and their Spawn, with massive numbers of them residing in the inner facility. They found their way in after the earthquake. This is also the only area in the game besides Deep Caverns where player can encounter Burrower Warriors (on DOMINATING difficulty they can also be found in many other locations).

Quests

During the Protectorate questline, the player is tasked to find Hephaestus Research and the lost Protectorate expedition.
