This Jiralhanae encampment was a base of operations set up by the Jiralhanae during the Battle of Installation 05, located within a series of Forerunner structures in the cliffs near the control room of the installation.[1][2]
Layout[edit]
The encampment comprised of a cluster of Forerunner structures that were built into the mountainous walls at the base of a winding ravine. These structures were linked by a passageway that contained a central room, which was used as a makeshift armory by the Jiralhanae during their occupation, and a small cave connected the camp to an adjoining canyon, where Installation 05's control room was located.[2]
History[edit]
- Main article: Battle of Installation 05
During the Battle of Installation 05, Jiralhanae forces deployed to the surface of the installation took control of this encampment, along with many others within the vicinity of the Halo's control room. The encampment was used by the Covenant to store large amounts of their own weaponry, as well as those taken from UNSC forces during the battle. The structures were occupied by numerous Jiralhanae and their Kig-Yar subordinates, and were guarded by a pair of Muz-pattern Wraiths.[2]
During the opening stages of the Great Schism, Arbiter Thel 'Vadamee led a Sangheili force through the nearby structures and ravines, clearing out the forces of the Jiralhanae-led Covenant that had betrayed them. The separatists soon attacked the encampment itself, and fought their way through through to the cave beyond. The Arbiter proceeded alone, and eventually joined forces with Rtas 'Vadumee.[2] The two would go on to assault the nearby Bastion of the Brutes in order to secure a docked Protos-pattern Scarab to use to gain access to the control room.[3]
Production notes[edit]
The encampment is not formally named in Halo 2 itself, only being named in Halo 2: The Official Strategy Guide, where it is identified as the "Brute encampment".[1]
Trivia[edit]
The eleventh Terminal in Halo 2: Anniversary can be found in an alcove on the encampment's first structure, before the small rock bridge leading to the armory room.
