ARAR

ARAR (Allzweck-Reparatur-Arbeiter Replika), (All-Purpose Repair Worker Replika 'Macaw') or Ara, are Generation 2 Low-Cost General Purpose Replikas. These units are deployed across various industrial sectors in the Eusan Nation, owing to their expertise among a wide range of trades. Their name is a direct reference to macaws, a family of parrots native to the western hemisphere.

Combat

Corrupted Aras have inflated puffy arms and a corroded head, and are hunched over, exposing the skin on their back which has degraded to the point of exposing flesh and their spinal structure underneath.

They hide in the vents of the facility before emerging from underneath the floor to attack the player, and can appear in groups of 2-4. Them being hidden can catch an inexperienced player off guard, and may easily overwhelm them especially with the help of other corrupted Replika Units.

Besides Disposable Stun Prods, the recommended weapon to dispatch them would be the Pistol, as any other weapon's damage would be excessive and could be better utilized for enemies with higher health. (Corrupted Aras have 30 HP, the least amount of HP in the game, even less than the corrupted Eules.)

Further information about Aras may be found in their overview page, located in the ARAR dorms. As with all other Replikas, they possess both biomechanical insides and a titanium-reinforced polyethylene shell. Notably, they're issued a hard hat that resembles an amigasa, a traditional Japanese straw hat:

"The tough 'worker bees' of the construction and repair industry."
"One of the earlier Replika designs, the simple but efficient Aras are actually the most-produced Replika type to date. These strong and heavy worker units are a perfect fit for work in construction and production of industrial goods. In many places throughout our Nation, Aras have already replaced all Gestalt workers in fields like Klimaforming and explosive ordnance disposal."

A Known Issues document reveals some of the psychological problems faced by this unit:

"Even though they may seem like quiet simpletons, do not underestimate Aras. While they may not show it, they judge those who are rude or unkind harshly and will quietly share this judgment with their entire Cadre. Aras get along best with Eules, who tend to be patient and friendly, and have a talent for reading Aras' expressionless faces. In many facilities, Aras will construct service tunnels accessible only to them, often under floors and in walls. Unstable units may retreat into these tunnel. It is not recommended to attempt to retrieve them."
"Ara Personas can be best stabilized by allowing them access to plants to take care of, ideally colorful flowers or trees."

The AEON propaganda poster for this unit depicts an Ara readjusting her hand, in front of a construction site.

ARAR Dorms

The ARAR Dorm is on the the 6th Floor. Equipped with eight bunk beds, it allowed for sixteen ARAR units to call this room home during S-23 Sierpinski's operation.

On the north wall there is an ARAR propaganda poster, and in the center of the room there is a large hole that leads down to the lower STAR dorm. On the southern side of the room there is a boat that was likely constructed by the Aras.
