The '''base turret''' is a stationary weapons platform used by the [[United Nations Space Command]], particularly deployed in UNSC [[Firebase]]s. One of several automated turrets in UNSC service, the emplacement's standard armament is the [[M202 XP machine gun]].<ref name="cs">[http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/firebase.aspx#Turret '''Official Halo Wars Community Site''': ''Game Info - UNSC Firebase'']</ref>

==Design details==
Base turrets are commonly used in the prefabricated UNSC firebases. When needed, a turret is assembled in the underground section of the firebase before being deployed into one of the four available slots. Ammunition is stored under the turret, providing a steady supply for the weapon mounted on its 360-degree traversal mount. When a base turret sustains too much damage, the structure explodes, but the turret slot remains intact, allowing the base to assemble and deploy another base turret.<ref name="cs"/>

Three versions of the base turret are fielded, each of which has progressively heavier armor and armament. The light model features only one M202, whereas the medium variant mounts two M202s, and the heavy variant has four [[M41 Vulcan]]s.<ref name="cs"/>

Base turrets are also equipped on starships. The {{UNSCship|Spirit of Fire}} features at least 15 base turrets on its hull, though their use is limited to repelling boarders rather than naval engagement.<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level ''[[Cleansing]]''</ref> At least one of a weaker variant was mounted within the ''[[Pilgrims' Pride]]'', and was destroyed by Spartan-IV [[Anthony Madsen]] during the skirmish onboard.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #4''</ref>

==Variants==
A '''rebel''' variant of the base turret was used by [[unidentified insurrectionist group|a group of insurrectionists]] operating on [[Harvest]] and [[Arcadia]]. These turrets operated similarly to the light UNSC model, but possess maroon-colored plates over the UNSC green and have much weaker armor.<ref name="HW">'''Halo Wars'''</ref>

In addition to the turret's machine guns, a base turret could be equipped with additional armament. Their use is mutually exclusive, however, as there is insufficient space to mount more than one system on any given turret.<ref name="HW"/>
*'''Anti-infantry''' - A [[KG Mark 34 flame mortar]] is outfitted on the left side of a base turret for launching a ball of flame onto attacking infantry.<ref name="HW"/>
*'''Anti-armor''' - A pair of [[M66 light railgun]]s is outfitted on both side of a base turret for firing  high-density ferrous projectiles to penetrate armor at extreme range.<ref name="HW"/>
*'''Anti-air''' - Two [[Anaconda surface-to-air missile]] launchers are installed on both sides of a base turret to repel attacking aircraft.<ref name="HW"/>

In ''Halo Wars'', the base turret is the main defensive building, serving as the human equivalent of the [[Covenant automated plasma turret#Heavy model|Covenant automated plasma turret]]. Base turrets become available for construction at the UNSC firebase's turret sockets after purchasing the ''Station'' upgrade. The campaign levels ''[[Cleansing]]'' and ''[[Repairs]]'', both of which take place on the hull of the UNSC ''Spirit of Fire'', feature a number of individual turrets sockets (15 and 11, respectively) on the hull to repel enemies. On the Skirmish map ''[[Beasley's Plateau]]'', both UNSC and Covenant players have access to four individual turret sockets, each defending two building sites. On Skirmish, each [[rebel base]] features two to four base turrets, but they are considerably weaker than their UNSC counterparts.

For the specialised upgrades, the player may only use one upgrade at a time. Extra weapons do not affect the machine guns' operation. For example, a turret armed with an anti-air upgrade will still fire at infantry and vehicles. As well as weapon upgrades, base turrets can be further upgraded to medium turrets, and then large turrets at the [[UNSC Field Armory]]. The upgrade to a medium turret adds a third of the armor and another M202 XP machine gun. The upgrade to a large turret adds an additional 50% armor and two more machine guns.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars: Official Strategy Guide]]''', ''page 32''</ref>

Like their ''Halo Wars'' counterparts the turrets in ''Halo Wars 2'' can be upgraded to anti-infanty, anti-vehicle, or anti-aircraft. Each of these upgrades cost 300 power and can only be built once the firebase has been upgraded into a Combat Station. The turret can be upgraded with [[energy shielding]] if the player applies a Leader Point into R&D Leader Powers and also can be upgraded with Fortify Base Upgrade to increase their health and attack power. The turrets can only be upgraded through the UNSC Armory.

-===Design details===
+Base turrets are commonly used in the prefabricated UNSC firebases.

-[[File:HW2 BaseTurret.png|thumb|250px|The 2559-era base turret on [[Installation 00]].]]
-The Talos is a fairly modular weapons platform, capable of targeting and firing on enemy targets automatically or via manned use of a remote [[UNSC battle network|battle network]] uplink. The system can be mounted on a large variety of towers and mounting platforms, and accepts a variety of weapon systems for differing roles.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} They are generally used as part of the defensive network for UNSC [[Firebase|prefabricated firebases]], which typically have power and control hookups arranged for up to four Talos systems. Their use is the relic of an abandoned defence-in-depth doctrine used by the UNSC and abandoned as the [[Human-Covenant War]] ground on, destroying much of humanity's armed forces and industrial centres.{{Ref/Game|Id=phoenix|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=Turret}}
-As with most [[human]] automated defences, the Talos can be deployed with multiple units [[UNSC battle network|networked together]] to act as a single machine. In these scenarios, the turrets are generally deployed with overlapping fields of fire with which they can be used to their best effect. Defensive networks like this generally rely on an optical or laser sensor and an [[Identification friend or foe|IFF]] interrogator for target acquisition, which can then be shared across the network to best facilitate effective firing.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
+Three versions of the base turret are fielded, each of which has progressively heavier armor and armament. The light model features only one M202, whereas the medium variant mounts two M202s, and the heavy variant has four [[M41 Vulcan]]s.<ref name="cs"/>

-Talos weapon stations are capable of fitting a wide variety of weapons, depending on intended use. The most standard loadout is a pair of [[M202 XP machine gun]]s, though this can be upgraded to three or four M202s or even [[M41 Vulcan]]s as needed.{{Ref/Book|Halo Wars: Official Prima Strategy Guide|Page=30-32}}{{Ref/Reuse|cs}} For anti-infantry defence, the turrets can be upgraded with a [[KG Mark 34 flame mortar]] or up to four unidentified rotary cannons, or a pair of [[M66 light railgun]]s and [[Anaconda surface-to-air missile|Anaconda SAM]] launchers for anti-vehicle and anti-air defence, respectively.
-The culmination of the Talos' power comes in the form of a mount for the [[M4131 rapid-fire howitzer]], turning the turret into a 152mm heavy artillery system for long-ranged ground defense roles{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=141}} This configuration is known as the "[[siege turret]]"..{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

-Talos turrets are capable of being mounted on a huge variety of mountings and platforms. These include specially-designed towers constructed underneath a firebase or starship hull, a [[dropship]]-portable tower for rapid field deployment and even use inside a starship.

-This version of the base turret was in use by at least [[2531]]. It was used by the forces of the UNSC ''Spirit of Fire'' in the battles of [[Harvest]], [[Arcadia]] and [[Trove]], wherein it was deployed in the "pod" [[Firebase]]s deployed by [[D20 Heron]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|HW}} These turrets were assembled in the underground section of the firebase before being deployed into one of the four available slots. Ammunition is stored under the turret, providing a steady supply for the weapon mounted on its 360-degree traversal mount.

-The turrets deployed by the ''Spirit of Fire'' on [[Installation 00]] demonstrate a few minor aesthetic differences to their 2531 counterparts. These turrets can be deployed independently of Firebase deployments via [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] airlift.{{Ref/Level|HW2|One Three Zero}} Leaders such as [[Morgan Kinsano]] can use this ability to deploy a turret anywhere on the battlefield. [[Jerome-092]] also has the ability to call in a specialised variant known as the '''Victory Turret'''. When deployed, it inspires friendly units.
