Chawla Base

"Honor Bound To Defend Freedom"

- Base motto

Little is known about Chawla Base other than it is an ONI base located in the city of Boston, Massachusetts in the United States, on Earth. It consisted of at least 44 buildings. It also housed a Forerunner artifact. It is possible that the name was inspired by Kalpana Chawla, an Indian-American scientist and NASA astronaut who was killed in the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster on February 1, 2003.
