The Oblivion/Data folder also contains a Blank.bsa. It was created using BSA Commander. The BSA contains only one file, which is the LICENSE file in this repository, and is compressed.

Blank.esm: Description field value is v5.0. Contains 10 records, with one being an interior CELL. The TES4 header also contains an XXXX subrecord followed by an ONAM subrecord that contains 16,384 0x00000000 FormID references.
