The industrial estate and facilities of the chemical plant No.16 were rented out illegally to the TerraGroup company. During the Contract Wars the premises of the plant became a scene for numerous firefights between USEC and BEAR that determined control over the industrial district of Tarkov.
Later on, in the wake of chaos, the plant facilities turned into a shelter for remaining civilians, Scavs and all kinds of straggling military and armed forces, including scattered remains of USEC and BEAR.
