Testing Station 163 is a medium Testing Station found in The O'odham, with standard eco lab loot. Originally, this was a Desert Botanical testing station, with the purpose of breeding new species of dew-absorbing cacti. The testing station has long since been abandoned by botanists, and is now home to Maas Kharet, who primarily use it to collect and store water for Shai-Hulud.

Loot
Imperial Testing Station 163 is a spawn location for a rare loot chest which contains the following unique schematics.

It is northwest of House of Fiqh, and just below and slightly to the west from Mendek's Shithole. The entrance of the Testing Station is decorated with orange tarps, and several tents scatter the ground full of various storage units and supplies.

SOLIDO PROJECTION: You've entered Desert Botanical Testing station #163.
SOLIDO PROJECTION: I'm Dr. Wen Olmeca, senior plant geneticist here at the station.
SOLIDO PROJECTION: In the long history of the Desert Botanical Testing Station program, there have been disappointingly few successful species introductions.
SOLIDO PROJECTION: But I'm proud to say we here at station #163 can boast of several notable successes.
SOLIDO PROJECTION: Our efforts have produced several varieties of dew-absorbing cacti which show great promise.
SOLIDO PROJECTION: We have already documented in-the-field natural reproduction of our modified Saguaros, with cielago bats acting as pollinators.
SOLIDO PROJECTION: We have every reason to believe these cacti will continue to thrive, and hopefully form the cornerstone of a working ecosystem.
Recorders
The Maas Kharet have left several recorders around the facility.
Tape 1
JORBA: Aneal, imprint the following message in your bird and send it to the Sayyadina at once.
JORBA: Revered Sayyadina, we discovered one of the ancient testing stations brimming with water and occupied by scavengers.
JORBA: We have taken their water for Shai-Hulud.
JORBA: I ask for your command regarding this sacret bounty. Naib Jorba.
Tape 2
MAAS KHARET: Naib, the bird has returned bearing this message from the Sayyadina:
NAHLA: Jorba, Shai-Hulud truly honors us, first with our victory at Mysa Tarill and now these rich spoils you have taken!
NAHLA: Such greed angers Shai-Hulud! Small wonder they have fled away in shame.
NAHLA: But we, the faithful, remain to serve the Maker in all things.
NAHLA: But more scavengers are certain to come seeking our prize. Remain, and take their water as well! Nahla.
