A former research facility on Bydo studies, now in ruins. Its security systems have broken down, allowing the Bydo to infest the facility.
The Bestra Research Facility is a facility located near planet Uranus. This area is similar to the second level featured in R-Type.
Description[]
Bestra is a former testing facility made to research the technology of the Bydo and use it to attack the Bydo. It was originally intended to investigate Bydo weaknesses until the humans found ways to weaponize the creatures.
Mission 7 (Bestra's Doorstep) and 8 (Beast's Lair) of the Human campaign of Tactics take place inside the station. During the Bydo side, you return to Bestra for mission 50 (Forbidden Science) and 51 (Escape From Bestra) where it has been reclaimed by the EAAF after the Bydo infestation was wiped out with no traces left behind and is being used once again to experiment on the Bydo (this time, attempts at mass-producing tamed species of Dobkeratops) and develop B-Series fighters like the Dantalion.
Appearances[]
R-Type Tactics II: Operation Bitter Chocolate (an similar Bydo testing facility was shown once in the Bydo Campaign in mission 20 (Research Ruins) but appears to be in ruins. Here you fight Reactor Cultured Dobkeratops and its offspring)
