The map is set in the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s [[SWORD Base]], situated along the [[Babd Catha Ice Shelf]] of the [[Eposz]] super-continent on the [[Human]] [[Inner Colonies|Inner]] [[Human colonies|Colony]] [[world]] of [[Reach]]. The base was attacked by the [[Covenant]] early in the [[Fall of Reach]],{{Ref/Level|HR|[[ONI: Sword Base]]}} and was destroyed somewhat during [[Operation]]: [[Operation: WHITE GLOVE|WHITE GLOVE]] much later.{{Ref/Level|HR|[[The Package]]}} | |||
The map is described as "the stepson of [[Prisoner]] and [[Boarding Action]]".

==Production notes== | |||
It was featured in the ''[[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]]''. | |||
Sword base has changed very much from the beta version, the walls around the facility having been destroyed and burnt, with large amount of debris on the ground. The [[Gravity Lift]] in the center has also been weakened.{{Citation needed}} | |||
==Trivia== | |||
Using the [[Forge turret glitch]], one can get behind the large door found on the ground level, and out of the map. | |||
