'''Salvage drills''' are a type of mining platform employed by the [[Banished]]. They were notably used by them during the [[Second Ark Conflict]] in [[2559]]. 

==Operational history==
During the [[Flood]] [[Outbreak on Installation 00|Outbreak]] of [[Installation 00]], the Banished [[Jiralhanae]] [[Jiralhanae Warlord|Warlord]] [[Pavium]] operated a trio of these salvage drills near a Forerunner defense station which contained the [[Archive]]. Pavium used the salvage drills to destabilize the chemicals in the ground underneath and destroyed the Flood growth at the entrance to the Forerunner defense station.{{Ref/Level|HW2|Section=Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare|SectionLinkText=Awakening the Nightmare|Light the Fuse}} The destruction of the Flood growth allowed his brother [[Voridus]] to enter the facility and reactivate the Forerunner defense network to combat the flood.{{Ref/Level|HW2|Section=Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare|SectionLinkText=Awakening the Nightmare|The Archive}}

==In-game information==
===''Halo Wars 2''===
Three salvage drills appear in the ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'' [[Downloadable content|DLC]] ''[[Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare|Awakening the Nightmare]]'', during the [[campaign]] level ''[[Light the Fuse]]'', in which the salvage drills serve as the level's main objective. The salvage drills also appear in [[Skirmish]] map ''[[Fissures]]'', which uses the same level geometry as ''Light the Fuse'', but players cannot interact with the drills .

Players need to destroy crystals found throughout the map to collect {{HW2Power|Power}} to activate the drills. Each drill requires {{HW2Power|8,000}}, so a total of {{HW2Power|24,000}} is required. Upon the drills' activation, the Flood will attack the drills to deter the player's progress. The mission ends in failure if the drills are destroyed.

==Production notes==
Concept art of the salvage drill had depicted the machinery as the "Banished Mining Rig". It also shows the rig over multiple stages of construction, suggesting players were originally tasked with constructing the rig rather than collecting Power to activate it. The design was carried over to [[:File:HW2-Fissure 02.jpg|the art for the Skirmish map ''Fissures'']].
