Testing Station 10 is a large Eco Lab found in Eastern Vermillius Gap, with standard eco lab loot. Originally this was a botanical testing station, with the purpose of finding and developing flora which can survive in the iron-rich soils in the local area. The testing station has long since been abandoned by botanists, and is now home to Deserter House Soldiers, who primarily use it to lay low and store vehicles and machinery. It is a good location to gather Complex Machinery.
Location
Deserters have built a small outpost around the entrance to the testing station, it can be accessed from the north.

Solido Projection
Upon entering the station, the solido projection of the old station leader plays the following message:
Welcome to Imperial Desert Botanical Testing Station #10. I am Dr. Silas Gralish, director of this facility. Our goal here at DBTS 10 is to find and develop flora which can flourish in the iron rich soils of this corner of Arrakis. Our initial focus is the introduction of Welwithschia, Ephedra, and Aloidendron species which we deem the most likely adapters. But within these protective walls we will also cultivate a variety of species from across the Imperium. The ultimate goal will be to seed the planet with species capable of thriving in the wild. Without the benefit of the water provided by our windtrap condensation system...
Recordings
Deserters have left several recordings around the facility, primarily former Harkonnen soldiers
Tape 1
The first tape is found in one of the side rooms on a table.
[TODO: MISSING SUBTITLES - PLEASE FIND]
Tape 2
The second tape is deeper into the station, on a table.
Mikael, It's clear we need more people with mechanical expertise if we are to meet the quotas set by our new bosses. We have too many here who can't handle anything more complicated than a trigger. They can be our field men, and our muscle. But we need skilled hands. So, you and I will need to do some recruiting. There are plenty like us who have...chosen to leave the service of the Great Houses. We must find those among them with vehicle maintainance experience. That includes former Atreides troopers. Yes, I know... bad blood! But we have more in common with Atreides deserters than we do with our old comrades. Anyone who can't see past old grudges won't have a place here.
Tape 3
The third and final tape is on a table in a side room before the main final chamber
Attention all of you! I know you are all impressed with the daring of our friend Sidar who was bold enough to steal a battle tank from under the very noses of Atreides troopers Stealing aging groundcars and tractors from the Pyons of graben, sink, and pan is one thing, but this.. This takes nerve bordering on the legendary! I am duly impressed So impressed, that I will overlook the equally high degree of stupidity Sidar has shown with this act! It is not in our interest to risk the wrath of powers that have set a price on our heads! No one listens to the complaints of the Pyons. These are our targets, not the Great Houses. We deal in civilian vehicles only. Anything else endangers us all!
