Hephaestus Research is a dungeon in upper caves. It can be found by heading north from GMS Compound in Lower Underrail, then entering the caves by breaking some rocks and going one zone south or by entering the caves in GMS Compound itself on the first floor, going east, then north and then west. The research lab is however accessible only during and after Find Hephaestus Research Protectorate faction quest.
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.

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.
