National Radio Astronomy Research Center

The National Radio Astronomy Research Center is a location in the Savage Divide region of Appalachia in 2102.

Background
The National Radio Astronomy Research Center (NRARC) was a research center with the purpose of investigating radio astronomy. Months before the bombs fell, the astronomers discovered anomalies in the radio signals, possibly because of Zetan activities. As they started talking too much about the signals, the government "retired" everyone who talked about the issue, to ensure the information was not leaked.

When the Great War came, the research team received EMERGENCY ORDER A19 and destroyed all the evidence gathered at the site.

Layout
The building is made up of three main floors, the second and third having balconies that overlook the first floor. Each level has offices with desks and file cabinets that can be looted, as well as an occasional locked safe. The basement of the facility can be accessed via a stairwell in a western hallway on the first floor. Alternatively, it can be reached by going to the third floor, then passing through a western door. This leads to a large console room that continues west into a hallway with a flight of stairs. These go to another hallway with access to the stairwell at the end of it. A collapsed section of the wall and floor creates a large hole leading into the generator room on this level. There is also a steamer trunk and an armor workbench located in the basement.
