Baumton was once a fairly typical neighborhood on the north side of Paragon City, until the day the Rikti War started. The area was completely devastated, including the former headquarters of the Freedom Phalanx. After the fighting the zone was taken over by gangs, and the Clockwork who took full advantage of the plentiful scrap metal left behind. Reconstruction efforts have recently begun, but are being sabotaged by Arachnos.
