In 2556, a BXR facility located in Sedra City was under "active investigation" by ONI after the February 7 terrorist attack.

The company had facilities in the following cities and locations:
 * Szurdok Ridge

Trivia

 * BXR appears in Halo: Reach. The abbreviation is a reference to the button combination which could be used to ensure an instant kill in Halo 2.
 * Some civilians in New Alexandria wear shirts that bear the BXR logo.
 * One variation of the BXR logo is that of three colored squares, a blue square on the left, a yellow square on top, and a red square to the right, representing the X, Y, and B buttons, respectively, on a standard Xbox 360 control pad, another obvious reference to the button combination.
 * The shape of the logo seems to be a reference to the chemical safety sign (NFPA 704) that is seen on containers of hazardous materials, as it is a group of four side-ways squares inside another, larger square, the exception being that the BXR logo only has three small squares in a larger one.
