Shouldn't this be called the "Covenant Beacon", even though technically it isn't really a beacon in the literal sense of the word, but just a mining facility that is called a "Beacon". I looked up the word "beacon" in the dictionary, and one of the definitions that popped up was "a radio transmitter emitting signals to guide aircraft". This Covenant "beacon" is not a true beacon in itself. A beacon in Halo would be more along the lines of [[:File:HR-TrooperBeacon.png|this device]] seen in ''Halo: Reach'', of which an article should be made to account for this. Either that, or it is an IFF transponder beacon. Either way, the image needs a home, and also this issue should probably be addressed. --'''''[[User:Xamikaze330|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Halo;">Xamikaze330</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Xamikaze330|<font color="Blue">Transmission</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|<font color="Green">Commencing</font>]]''''']</small> 11:28, 9 April 2014 (EDT)Xamikaze330

	:I had figured the UNSC called it a Beacon because it was tall enough it was easily spotted even in a city, acting like a beacon on a horizon since it was apparent where it was, one of the various meanings of a beacon, being a means of locating something. Not sure why putting "Covenant" in front of it would be any more meaningful than changing entries to "Human Assault Rifle". -[[User:ScaleMaster117\|ScaleMaster117]] ([[User talk:ScaleMaster117\|talk]]) 16:51, 9 April 2014 (EDT)
