BXR Mining Corporation
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
BXR Industries[1] was a mining corporation on the UNSC colony world of Reach.[2] During the Covenant invasion of Reach, one of the corporation's mining facilities on the Szurdok Ridge at Ütközet was made into a stronghold by Covenant forces.
Facilities
In Sedra City there is an BXR facility. Sometime after 2556 February 7th 0921 hours its under "Active Investigation" by ONI.[3]
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.
