'''Fathom Station''', also known as '''UNSC Fathom''',<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-rhine-installation '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Rhine Installation'']</ref> is an underwater research facility constructed by the [[Imbrium Machine Complex]] for use by the [[United Nations Space Command]] located along the [[Aleutian Rim]] in the [[Cortez Ocean]] on the [[human]] [[Inner Colony]] [[Beta Gabriel]]. With operation's conducted by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s [[Xeno-Materials Exploitation Group]], Fathom was designed to search for [[Covenant]] weapon plans located aboard the [[carrier]] ''[[Splendid Intention]]'', which had crashed nearby.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} The station features docked submarines.<ref name="GI">'''Game Informer''', ''July 2015 issue''</ref> | |||
==History== | |||
Funded by the [[UNSC Navy]]'s [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] and designed by the [[Imbrium Machine Complex]] in [[2554]],{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} Fathom Station was designed to locate the crash sites of ''[[Splendid Intention]]'' and {{UNSCShip|Of Uncommon Courage}}, two ships that crashed in the sea during the [[Human-Covenant War]]; the staff of Fathom had the intent of rediscovering the valuable weapon plans carried by the [[Covenant]] [[Covenant carrier|carrier]], weapons that would render the [[energy projector]] obsolete.{{Ref/Reuse|GI}} | |||
Though the station's operations were unhindered for years and the location of ''Splendid Intention'' was discovered, the crew of Fathom were largely unsuccessful in their search for the [[Covenant carrier]]'s weapon plans. However, during a routine search conducted by twenty-three explorers in [[2556]], ''Splendid Intention'' suddenly shifted from its resting place in the [[Aleutian Rim]] and violently slid down a nearby trench, sending debris and water into Fathom Station's northern terminal. The complex was torn apart and forty-one researchers were killed in the incident. ''Splendid Intention'' and the twenty-three explorers trapped inside the carrier were lost, and operations at Fathom Station did not continue.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} | |||

Onboard the research station before it was lost was at least 5 divers. | |||

As one point the submarine [[SS Murrill|SS ''Murrill'']] was docked onto Fathom Station before it was lost. | |||
