UNSC Armory
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The Armory is a type of structure built and operated by the United Nations Space Command as part of their modular firebases.[1] They serve as lighter, air-transportable equivalents to the larger and more permanent Field Armory structures on larger bases, or the Temples and War Councils of the Covenant and Banished.
Overview[edit]
Armories contain advanced manufacturing modules, electronic support measures, specialised machinery, and robotic assemblers needed to support the logistical upgrades provided by Isabel for UNSC Spirit of Fire during its war on Installation 00. They also contain communication and sensor systems to expand a force commander's options when assembling battle groups.[1]
Unlike their larger Field Armory cousins, Armories are air-transportable, and can be deployed in the field by via D77 Pelican dropship.
In-game information[edit]
Halo Wars 2[edit]
Armories were introduced in Halo Wars 2 to replace the Field Armories from the first game. They function similarly, providing army-wide research and upgrade options including buffs to base defences and 
population cap. However, with Halo Wars 2's changes to leader powers, those are now located in their own dedicated menu rather than researched in the Armory.
The Armory is also used to train Hero units and the UNSC's Super unit, the G81 Condor.

Phoenix log[edit]
 Requisition and tech upgrade structure. Armory structures contain advanced manufacturing modules and electronic support measures that unlock structure, training time, and population capacity upgrades. Construction of an Armory allows the requisition of UNSC Spartans and Operatives to the battlefield. as well as deployment of the Condor gunship. These are key facilities for a UNSC field commander, though their full potential is only unlocked once sufficient resources are available. The Armory contains specialized machinery and robotic assemblers needed to support the logistical upgrades Isabel has added to the Spirit of Fire, as well as additional communication and sensor systems to expand the force commander's option when assembling battle groups. |
Production notes[edit]
The Armory's Phoenix Log makes reference to its ability to train the "Operator", one of several units ultimately cut from the game.
