Traxus Factory Complex 09

Traxus Factory Complex 09 was a Traxus installation in Voi, Kenya on Earth. Companies such as Fueder Construction, Sinoviet, and COBB Industries also worked at Complex 09.

Background
During the Battle of Voi in 2552 the factory, which was originally involved with space elevator shipments, was attacked by Covenant Loyalists. The small defending contingent of UNSC Marines was wiped out and most of the complex was occupied by the attackers. The factory was then retaken by a UNSC counter-attack, led by John-117, and assisted by some surviving civilian workers. Shortly afterward the complex was overrun by Flood from a Flood-controlled Battlecruiser that crashed in a nearby lake bed.

The Flood were pursued by a Covenant Separatists fleet, led by Shipmaster Rtas 'Vadum aboard the Assault Carrier Shadow of Intent. The fleet reverted from slipspace above Complex 09 and deployed Sangheili against the Flood in the surrounding environs. However, the outbreak could not be contained and Rtas 'Vadum opted to glass some of the African landmass, including Complex 09, to prevent the Flood from spreading further.

History
During the battle of Voi, SPARTAN-117 and Thel 'Vadam, along with a small squad of Marines, fought through the Factory Complex to take out an Anti-Aircraft Battery.

A small Marine outpost was located in Section 01. It contained 8 Rocket Launchers and four Mongooses, and was defended by a Turret. A small squad of Marines defended it from the south end, while the rest prepared to assault the nearby Anti-Aircraft Wraiths with their heavy weaponry and Mongooses. The section came under heavy attack from a War Chieftain and his squad of Brutes, Jackals and Grunts. Just before the Marines ran out of ammo, the the Master Chief, having taken out the Anti-Aircraft Wraith to the south, attacked and killed the Covenant. A Phantom then unloaded several dozen Drones through the destroyed skylight on the roof, but they weren't enough to stop the Chief. All the Marines then mounted up and attacked the Covenant forces on the northern lake bed along the Chief. In this section, Cortana messaged Master Chief with "I have defied gods and demons."

After clearing Section 01, they pushed through Sections K2433, K434 and K435 filled with Covenant Loyalists. In Section K436, a group of civilian factory workers with M6G Magnums helped the Marines kill the Brutes attacking them. In Section K437, a Mgalekgolo pair attacked the Marines and killed many factory workers.

After the Flood landed on Earth, SPARTAN-117 and Thel 'Vadam fought their way back through the same sections en route to the crashed, Flood-infected CCS-class Battlecruiser.

Trivia

 * Traxus Factory Complex 09 is also the site of the Halo 3 multiplayer map, . Foundry appears to be located along the edge of the complex, against a body of water; across this body of water, another complex (numbered 71 and presumably owned by Traxus) can be seen.
 * Section 434 is a possible reference to 434 Kirkland Drive, the street address of Bungie Studios.
