Though exact numbers vary, players can expect around ten Imperial Testing Stations scattered throughout this desolate expanse. Navigating the Deep Desert requires preparation—whether it’s a well-outfitted Ornithopter or a party of skilled allies, going alone is ill-advised.

Upon reaching a Testing Station, players must complete combat trials, survive environmental hazards, and eventually face off against a boss encounter. The reward is the Starlight Chest, which drops schematics unique to the Deep Desert, many of which are not found anywhere else in the game.

The rotation system still applies here, so not every visit guarantees the schematic you’re after. However, the Deep Desert’s rewards often come with higher drop rates and offer blueprints for high-tier survival gear, making them a key objective for veteran players.

Conquering the Deep Desert’s Testing Stations is more than a challenge—it’s a badge of honor and a path to unlocking Dune Awakening’s most coveted equipment. Only the strongest survive, but those who do are richly rewarded Dune Awakening Solari.
