Barlow

From Ratchet & Clank wiki

Barlow was a desert planet that was once Gadgetron's major hub in Bogon Galaxy. However, Gadgetron was forced to leave because of the Vukovar Tribesmen which began to raid the headquarters and Megacorp being the more popular choice in the galaxy, leaving only a few scientists behind.

It was possible that Megacorp nuked it, due to the Fizzwidget Bot on Todano saying that a missile made Megacorp the one and only choice.

The Gadgetron facility was also where Gadgetron created the Cute Hound of Cuddly Death, which was basically Gadgetron's answer to Megacorp's Protopet. Like the Protopet, the Hound was to be the perfect pet for children, but the experiment failed and it instead became a killer, and now they roamed through the ruins freely.

The Gadgetron facility still maintained one active vendor, which was overseen by the Matron.

During this period, Barlow had become famous (or infamous) for being home to the Desert Riders.

[edit] Trivia

• The name of the planet came from Tom Barlow, an Insomniac employee.
• The name of the canyon may be based on Vukovar, a city in Croatia which also has some wrecked houses, due to the Croatian War of Independence that occurred in the 1990s when Croatia sought to secede from Yugoslavia. ^[source?]
