In another life, this was an Omnidyne-M-controlled facility that was pivotal in the early days of the Arclight’s construction. Unfortunately the economic realities of the time didn’t make the facility viable, and Omnidyne-M packed up shop and moved their operations to the newer, more efficient Smoke Mountain facility. The facility stood abandoned for a number of years before a group of miners decided to retrofit it to launch and receive the numerous thumpers that are launched throughout New Eden – and making the owners of this facility very, very rich in the process.
This was before the Arclight crash, of course. In the chaos, New Eden lost every resource gathering and refining facility. All of them, of course, except for Thump Dump. Yet even though the facility has avoided the fate of so many others, the Melding wall still casts an ominous glow across the whole area.
