The PrydeRockIndustries fansite has a lot of stuff spread around the components part of the Wiki. Is this one of them? This page has exactly one reference, for the Targeting-Tracking System (which page GreekFire has thoroughly purged of fanon), and this site is not mentioned in that page at all: the manufacturing site there is on Terra. We need a check of the listed reference to see if there is any mention of Baltazar III. If not, I move this page be deleted as probably fanon, along with the single link to it.--Talvin (talk) 11:46, 29 May 2022 (EDT)
- The facility is mentioned in rumors in TRO: Project Phoenix for sure, though as far as I can see only in rumor and innuendo. Unsure where the exact listing of variants is coming from --RasalhagueLibrarian (talk) 15:23, 29 May 2022 (EDT)
- So, what I am hearing from here and elsewhere is this, and if I am in error, I hope someone will correct me:
- Ostroc and Marauder do not appear at all in TRO:3039. Firestarter variant mentioned here does not appear in that book. Baltazar does not appear in that book. 3039 is, therefore, a false reference. (I intend to remove it.)
- We do not have firm info, but Canon Rumor, that the Circinus Federation had a factory on Baltazar III, with the evidence being Marauder designs in Federation hands. TRO:PP page 48. Also the Ostsol entry in Technical Readout: Project Phoenix hints at it without being explicit, I am told.
- TRO:3050U hints at CF production of that Firestarter Variant, but production in this facility would seem to be an assumption rather than cited fact.
- At this point, I think the best we could do is to rewrite this page as a Canon Rumor with what info is available cited, and abandon the standard "What is produced here" format.

- So, what I am hearing from here and elsewhere is this, and if I am in error, I hope someone will correct me:
- There is also another reference to it in Field Manual: 3085. "Hopping from world to world in the disintegrating bandit kingdom, the Guards tracked down and destroyed a number of the remaining Blakist hideouts left behind by the Regulans’ assault, including the Circinan’s long-rumored Baltazar III production center.". --VhenRa (talk) 22:23, 26 September 2022 (EDT)
