The Disease Research Facility (DRF) is an in-development abandoned Precursor Base located next to the Lost River Junction. Built around one thousand years ago, some time before the imprisonment of the Sea Emperor, the main purpose of this facility was to infect creatures with the Carar Bacterium. Surviving specimens were then sent to the Primary Containment Facility for further testing in order to synthesize a cure for the bacterium.
This Precursor base is heavily damaged, and unlike the other bases, is completely filled with water. It lies partially suspended by several loose-hanging cables, with several sections of destroyed cables found scattered around the perimeter of the facility. The base was attacked and destroyed by a Sea Dragon Leviathan in an attempt to retrieve its stolen eggs - an event that also unleashed the Carar bacterium into the native ecosystem and prompted the Precursors to initiate their planetary quarantine by activating the Quarantine Enforcement Platform.
The Disease Research Facility was set up partially to study the skeleton in the Bones Field - the remains of a ten million year old super-predator.
