Blarg Tactical Research Station

The Blarg Tactical Research Station (BTS) was Chairman Drek's research lab and weapons-testing center. The Grind Boots were developed here, as were many other illegal gadgets. The Station was in the Nebula G34 and was connected to several asteroids to refine the metal in them for testing.

Testing Station
While in BTS, Ratchet and Clank can travel to a warship outside the Station, which contains new Blargian technology. The duo can activate the warship's self-destruct system, which will cause a countdown to commence, giving Ratchet and Clank enough time to escape the ship before it explodes.

Outside BTS
Clank can be controlled for the first time in the Ratchet &amp; Clank games by exploring outside the station, where Ratchet cannot go without an O2 Mask. It is there that the gadgebots make their first appearance, and where Clank finds the Hydrodisplacer.

Easter Egg
In each of the small computer monitors scattered around the station, if the first person view was used to see the screen, Dan's face was visible with an arrow pointing at him.

Boss
While exploring the station, Ratchet and Clank encounter the Alien Queen, a huge version of the Space Mutants encountered throughout BTS.
