Baxter Research Station is a small research base in Omega-3. The player gets to visit it only once during Mission 5, where it is the scene of a brief cut-scene where Doctor Sinclair takes the time to further introduce herself. After fleeing the destruction of the doctor's dig site on Planet Sprague, Trent, Juni and Sinclair escape a flight of three Rheinland gunboats and several Valkyrie fighters by flying into the ice clouds and landing on Baxter. After a couple of minutes of conversation, the Rheinlanders catch up and attack the base, forcing our heroes to flee.
Opportunity to Reload and Rearm[]
While there are no people to talk to in the bar or news to read, and no Commodities trader to sell your goods to, Baxter does serve a purpose other than a place for characters to strut around and talk before being attacked again. Baxter is, in fact, equipped with a fully stocked repair bay, complete with a Robot arms dealer. This bay sells Liberty military weapons, though since the player doesn't reach Level 10 until after the mission is completed, no Class 5 weapons can be purchased.

Baxter Research Station, approximate location
Baxter does not appear before the player accepts Mission 5 from Juni on Planet Cambridge, and is destroyed before the mission's end. It sits near a glowing ball of light in an open area in the ice field near Freeport 1 in Omega-3. This map shows the approximate location of Baxter Research Station in Omega-3:
