==Universe and lore==
{{Main|Arcadia}}
Set in a previously [[human]] urban environment, now seemingly abandoned and being encroached upon by a dense jungle, the map itself exists on [[Arcadia]] in proximity of an [[Arcadia ONI facility|ONI base]], as evidenced by [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] chatter when playing the level, as well as multiple [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] structures seen in the level. 

==Overview==
===Layout===
The four starting base locations are set in the four corners of the map, and there are six extra base locations, all of them occupied by a [[Rebel Base]].

Each of the six possible base locations are strategically placed in a crater like area, so that there is only one direction from which it can be assaulted. Also, on the map are eight building sites, which are positioned next to one another in groups of two with a free [[Base turret|turret slot]], one group of two near each starting base. They are small locations upon which a player can build a single building (not base, but base addition), which are defended by small groups of Rebels. In the center of the map, there is a [[Forerunner Lifesupport Pod]], which increases the maximum population limit of whomever controls it. The Forerunner Lifesupport Pod is guarded by more powerful rebels, requiring a reasonably heavier force than normal to control it.

===Strategies===
*The Forerunner Lifesupport Pod will be extremely useful for anyone that controls it. Taking a heavy force to claim it from the Rebels and keep it is advised.
*If a socket hook is taken, leave some troops around to defend it, as socket hook structures are more easily destroyed than those at a base.

==Trivia==
*This is the only map in ''Halo Wars'' to feature the Forerunner Lifesupport Pod. Additionally, it is also the only map where Covenant factions can build Human base turrets. Canonically, members of the Covenant would refuse to utilise human weapons, with Sangheili warriors opting to fight unarmed rather than with human weapons.
