{{Main|Control Room (Installation 09)}}
The control room for [[Installation 09]] is different from that of its predecessors, both in design and location. It now lies below the surface of the installation, and can be accessed by descending from a circular aboveground structure. The control room also features an energy shield for protection. Instead of placed at the corner of a cliff, it appears to be on a large landmass.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Last Stand (Halo Wars 2 level)|Last Stand]]''</ref>

The [[Etran Harborage|Etran Harborage's]] [[Apex Site]] was classified as a form of control room.{{Ref/Reuse|evg}} This facility was an elongated platform suspended in the air high above the interior surface of the miniature [[Dyson sphere]], surrounded by docking towers housing [[Forerunner dreadnought]]s. At one end of the platform was a control panel which, like many Forerunner artifacts, could only be operated by a [[Reclaimer]].<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level ''[[Beachhead]]'' (opening cutscene ''"Judgment Day"'')</ref>
