Protocol Field Recovery Department
The Protocol Field Recovery Department (PFRD) was once the most essential core organization of Endfield Industries. PFRD responsibilities included: recovering lost techno-protocols, exploring Old Era ruins, reverse-engineering salvaged technologies, and applying them in actual production. Several years ago, an "unexpected conflict" destroyed the PFRD headquarters. Numerous PFRD personnel as well as the departmental director were amongst the casualties. This incident dealt a severe blow to Endfield Industries and forced it to temporarily suspend tech recovery operations.
However, as various factions on Talos-II rebooted efforts to explore the ruins, Supervisor Perlica was tasked to lead and re-organize the PFRD. By integrating large numbers of PFRD protocol equipment, the Endfield Engineering Center (EFEC) successfully developed the Automated Industry Complex (AIC). The AIC is a system that utilizes a teleportal tech to rapidly deploy power generators, production facilities, and other industrial infrastructure for wildland pioneers to expand upon.
The PFRD deliberately chose to demonstrate the reliability of the AIC teleportal tech at Valley IV -- the most inhospitable and poorest region of the frontier. If this barren waste can be converted into an operational base, the lands that lie beyond will be open for exploration.
