Oasis is a multiplayer Big Team Battle map that was included in Halo Infinite's Season 03: Echoes Within.[1][4][3]

Universe and lore[edit]

Oasis is set in and around an Office of Naval Intelligence research facility atop a cliffside on a far-flung moon.[1][5] In early 2553, ONI Section Three initiated Operation: INTERIOR EXILE, a recon mission with the goal of establishing this research site that would serve to examine a dormant Forerunner starship embedded in the moon's rocky terrain. However, this initial effort ended in failure, with agents Dinh and Padraig being among the few survivors.[6][5]

Ultimately, the facility was constructed and to further study the vessel, ONI dug into the cliffside, creating a cavern system,[1] seemingly discovering an mysterious artifact in a fissure below the base.[7] At some point after the start of the Created uprising in October 2558, the Created managed to take control of the dormant vessel. By 2560, an unnamed Created-aligned artificial intelligence has reactivated the vessel's creation engines, beginning the process of terraforming the desolate world as part of a wish to create life where there was once none and to follow in the footsteps of the Forerunner Lifeworkers.[3][5][6]
