The map is set in the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s [[SWORD Base]], situated along the [[Babd Catha Ice Shelf]] of the [[Eposz]] super-continent on the [[Human]] [[Inner Colonies|Inner]] [[Human colonies|Colony]] [[world]] of [[Reach]]. The base was attacked by the [[Covenant]] early in the [[Fall of Reach]],{{Ref/Level|HR|[[ONI: Sword Base]]}} and was destroyed somewhat during [[Operation]]: [[Operation: WHITE GLOVE|WHITE GLOVE]] much later.{{Ref/Level|HR|[[The Package]]}} | |||
Prior to this though, the atrium boasted a minor collection of recovered artifacts and materiel from elsewhere, including those that were recovered in [[Operation: GUARDIAN LANCE]] on [[Jericho VII]].{{Ref/Generic|[[:File:HR GuardianLance Plaque.png|Plaque]] on the map}} | |||

==Overview== | |||
===Layout=== | |||
The map is described as "the stepson of [[Prisoner]] and [[Boarding Action]]". It is a small, asymmetrical slayer map with three [[Gravity Lift|gravity lifts]] and a series of bridges and walkways leading over a central atrium.{{Ref/Reuse|BWU}}<ref>[http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/108/1082381p3.html '''IGN''': ''Halo: Reach -- The Beta Maps'']</ref> It features many external and internal stairways and rooms, making it an appealing map for [[Infection|infection games]] as there are many strategically controllable areas and vantage points. | The map is described as "the stepson of [[Prisoner]] and [[Boarding Action]]".

==Production notes== | |||
This map has changed very much from the [[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta|Beta]] version, the walls around the facility having been destroyed and burnt, with large amount of debris on the ground. The [[Gravity Lift]] in the center has also been weakened. | |||
==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
Using the [[Forge Turret Glitch]], one can get behind the large door found on the ground level, and out of the map. | |||
