Though damaged by Novac scavengers, it was sturdy enough to be turned into an outer defensive position by the Bright Brotherhood ghouls, further enhanced with sandbags and a guard post just beyond the checkpoint to allow guards to rest and relax in between shifts. The canyon contains a reinforced checkpoint that was used to clear visitors and employees before the Great War. The test site is nestled inside a large valley in the southern McCullough Range, accessible through a single canyon, up the road west from Novac. After losing nearly half their number, the ghouls holed up in the research laboratories, cornered by Davison's forces, who busied themselves with ripping the basement apart looking for a shipment of Stealth Boys accidentally routed to the test facility by RobCo, and long since gone. Unfortunately, they were recently attacked by nightkin under the lead of Davison. It was taken over around 2279 by the Bright Brotherhood, seeking to return the remaining rockets to functionality and make the Great Journey into space.
Picking the massive facility apart became a source of revenue for many inhabitants living in the area, most importantly the settlers at Novac in the 23rd century.
The test site was abandoned after the Great War and left to the elements and prospectors for over two centuries. When the company was acquired by RobCo, its proprietary plasma propulsion system was repurposed as a weapon. However, a disastrous radiation spill happened, contaminating the area for decades, weakening REPCONN's position. As RobCo was negotiating the terms of purchasing the company, REPCONN wanted to demonstrate their technology to gain an advantage in negotiations. It was only a matter of time until an incident took place. Reynolds was cutting corners to save money, forcing employees to do overtime and when they quit, hiring underqualified, undertrained replacements.
A pre-War testing facility that was operated by REPCONN Aerospace, it was ran by Steve Reynolds before the War, a corrupt executive.
