The base had been built onto a plateau, likely called "Beasley's Plateau", its edge overlooking the valley that contains the Forerunner ruins. The landing area consisted of five landing platforms, all of which were connected to a large central field. This section had two [[UNSC reactor|reactors]] powering it. It also had a hangar and several other buildings around it, as well as tunnels that led to other sections of the base. There were also multiple air control towers around the landing area.{{Ref/Reuse|dome}} The base also had an on-site [[Landing pad]] and air tower near to the site of the [[Firebase]] deployed in the area, allowing for the requisition of [[M145D Rhino]] artillery.{{Ref/Reuse|dome}} | The base had been built onto a plateau, likely called "Beasley's Plateau", its edge overlooking the valley that contains the Forerunner ruins.

The base's placement near the Forerunner ruins may have been the result of a coincidence, or it may have been originally constructed to serve as a site to conduct research on possible Forerunner findings, and to keep the planet's civilian populace away from the area. | The base's placement near the Forerunner ruins may have been the result of a coincidence, or it may have been originally constructed to serve as a site to conduct research on possible Forerunner findings, and to keep the planet's civilian populace away from the area. | ||
