Render of the UNSC Vehicle Depot.
The UNSC Vehicle Depot in Halo Wars.

A Vehicle Depot is a UNSC military building produced off of a prefabricated Firebase. It is where vehicles are assembled at the base.[1] The Covenant equivalent to the Vehicle Depot is the Factory, while the Banished equivalent is the Foundry.

Overview[edit]

The Vehicle Depot contains the heavy equipment and crew to assemble vehicle kits. It is capable of building and reinforcing the UNSC's powerful ground based Corps with Wolverines, Cobras, and Scorpions. Hydraulic cranes move vehicle parts, including Cobra chassis, Scorpion armored plates, and the selection of weaponry mounted on these vehicles. Vehicles are stored as prepackaged "kits", and quickly assembled via the structure's internal assembly equipment and personnel, before being released for use in combat.[1] By the time of the Second Ark Conflict, the Vehicle Depot's functions have been largely subsumed by the Garage structure.[2]

In-game information[edit]
