The map is set on an unknown [[planet]], in and around a sizable mountainside [[United Nations Space Command]] base. At some point, the {{Class|Mulsanne|light frigate}} {{UNSCShip|Panama}} and an [[Unidentified Covenant assault carrier class|assault carrier]], ''[[Purveyor of Virtue]]'', did battle in the skies above the base.
