Quito Terminus

The Quito Terminus is a space station atop the Quito Space Tether above Earth.

History
Following the Battle of Mombasa in late October 2552, the Office of Naval Intelligence appropriated the Crimson Wing of the Quito Terminus for their operations. The defected Huragok, Quick to Adjust—containing the Vergil subroutine of the Superintendent—was brought to the facility by Alpha-Nine, which guarded the Huragok, alongside other aliens harbored in the facility, for the following several weeks until Sergeant Major Avery Johnson arrived to question the creature on November 15. As it was technically Dare's interrogation, the Huragok was subsequently interrogated by ONI on information relating to the Portal at Voi. However, they were unable to obtain any actionable intelligence before the Prophet of Truth arrived in his Forerunner Dreadnought. Alpha-Nine was returned to the field shortly after their stay on the station and subsequently fought in the final battles of the Covenant War.

Trivia
In Halo 3: ODST, the interior of the station uses the level geometry from the Halo 3 multiplayer map Orbital.
