Halopedia:Halo Wars RPG

''Looking for Halo Wars, the RTS game?

PROJECT: Halo Wars, was a Halopedia-namespace project page created by the user RR. It has since been migrated to the HaloFanon site. Its purpose was to encourage members to interact with each other in a friendly fashion, and to uphold the First Commandment of Halopedia: "Thou shaltest haveth fun."

Background Plot
Installation 03 is an enigmatic Forerunner-machined superstructure, a supermassive ring thousands of kilometers in diameter that was artificially constructed by the ones who had strode the stars before both the Covenant and the Humans.

A Sangheili elite infiltration team was able to bypass United Nations Space Command forces on Coral and find a Forerunner artifact, a virtually impregnable vast antechamber within a wreath of coral reefs underneath the spacious saltwater oceans in the southern hemisphere. A light explosion was able to dislodge the barriers, and ancient symbolic runes were found engraved upon the surface of the chamber: stellar coordinates written in an advanced language, along with the words GAMMA INSTALLATION.

It took seven months before Covenant CENTCOM was able to decipher the glyphs. However, due to the uncertainty of the translation, only a relatively small battlegroup was dispatched to Installation 03 - the Covenant Flagship Divine Wrath and five Covenant Frigates under Fleet Master Queta 'Polsimee.

However, the Covenant's voyage miraculously came to the attention of the Office of Naval Intelligence. A prowler, the Prescience, tailed the Divine Wrath as it left the Hawking System, and was propelled through Slipspace by the flagship's multidimensional turbulence wake.

In Slipspace, the Prescience dispatched a burst transmission to the Archimedes Slipspace Monitoring Station in the fringes of the nearby Sigma Octanus System, alerting the UNSC of its location. When it emerged from ethereal dimensions behind the Divine Wrath, it risked a second transmission: the presence of a small Covenant taskforce over an unidentified ring. (This was before and during the timeframe that SPARTAN-117 and the discovered Alpha Halo)

The synthetics of the ring shocked ONI into completely canvassing that section of space - the immensity of the structure and the technology necessary to create a world from nothingness was awe-inspiring... if only the UNSC could get in contact with those builders...

A UNSC battle group of one Marathon-class Cruiser-Carrier, a pair of carriers, ten destroyers, and twenty frigates were sent to eliminate the Divine Wrath and its escorts, and to enlist the builders of the ring, presumably on the ring's surface, in the Human-Covenant War.
