The '''Damascus Materials Testing Facility''' was a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] base located in [[Vhalkem]],<ref>[http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2013/07/10/The-Halo-Bulletin-71013.aspx ''The Halo Bulletin 7.10.13]''</ref> on the [[Outer Colonies|Outer Colony]] of [[Chi Ceti IV]]. This top-secret base is where the [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan-II]] supersoldiers were relocated for their final stage of training and the inclusion of their [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR]] Mark IV battle armor in [[2525]]. Though it was only manned by three technicians, it had a curious feature, which was that a dozen [[Artificial intelligence|AIs]] could operate and utilize the facility in close proximity to one another, which is typically impossible under normal circumstances for technical reasons.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', page 114</ref> [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] also worked here for a while to refine the MJOLNIR armor series. In [[2542]], under the supervision of Halsey, the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V]] underwent development here.<ref>'''[[Halo Waypoint]] | The '''Damascus Materials Testing Facility''' was a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] base located in [[Vhalkem]],<ref>[http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2013/07/10/The-Halo-Bulletin-71013.aspx ''The Halo Bulletin 7.10.13]''</ref> on the [[Outer Colonies|Outer Colony]] of [[Chi Ceti IV]].

There were also obstacle courses for the Spartans to become accustomed with their new armor. | ||
Right after the Spartans received their armor, the facility was attacked by a nearby [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] ship, the ''[[Unrelenting]]''. All personnel were evacuated and the AIs were deactivated by Halsey when she removed them in the form of data cubes. Spartans [[John-117]], [[Kelly-087]], and [[Samuel-034|Sam-034]] boarded the ''Unrelenting'' and destroyed the ship by detonating missiles requisitioned from their [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] dropship on one of the plasma cannons.<ref>'''Halo: Fall of Reach'''</ref> | Right after the Spartans received their armor, the facility was attacked by a nearby [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] ship, the ''[[Unrelenting]]''.
