'''Anvil Station''' | '''Anvil Station''' is a secret [[UNSC]] [[space station]] in orbit over an unknown planet. The [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IVs]] and [[Swords of Sanghelios]] [[Sangheili]] warriors use the station to run [[War Games]] exercises in which they hone their combat skills and test experimental technology.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/halo-online-closed-beta-launching-in-russia|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo Online}} | ||

ANVIL Station is defended by dedicated [[squadron]]s of [[Space fighter|interceptors]], with their pilots sporting the [[AVIATOR-class Mjolnir|AVIATOR]] Mjolnir. The station has an additional internal security detail, with Spartans attached to these units noted to prefer the [[AIR ASSAULT-class Mjolnir|AIR ASSAULT]] armor.{{Ref/Game|Id=MCCDesc|MCC|''[[Halo 3]]'' [[Armor permutations (Halo 3)|customisation]] menu descriptions}} | |||

ANVIL Station is the result of a classified partnership between the UNSC and Swords of Sanghelios, retrofit to support the newly-established [[Anvil Initiative]] and [[Project CRUCIBLE]]. ANVIL Station was designed for the UNSC to test skunkworks technologies clandestine prototypes, some destined for full and successful production runs, other merely serving as a stop-gap in the development pipeline of Mjolnir components, weapon advancements, and more. Additionally, the station proved home to combat test simulations for both Spartan and Sangheili troops, hoping to test technologies and hone their combat skills.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFAO|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/armor-online|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Armor Online}} | |||
