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]

"Builds global upgrades, increased pop. limit, and Hero and Super Units."
— In-game description

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 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.

Armories require a Tech Level of 1 to construct, and cost Supplies 100 and Power 150.

The Armory is also used to train Hero units and the UNSC's Super unit, the G81 Condor.
