'''Alpha Base''' was the main tactical [[Firebase]] used by the remaining [[UNSC]] forces after planetfall on [[Installation 04]]. It was located on a small mesa several kilometers down-spin from the crash site of the ''[[Pillar of Autumn]]''. The mesa itself housed a collection of [[Forerunner]] structures as well as a system of caves stretching beneath the facility and linking with the larger subterranean system of the ring. [[Wellsley]] tagged the base as '''HS2604'''.<ref> [[Halo: The Flood]] page 48</ref> | '''Alpha Base''' was the main tactical [[Firebase]] used by the remaining [[UNSC]] forces after planetfall on [[Installation 04]].

The [[humans]] set up camp around the base using the supplies they had scrounged from the ''Autumn'' and their [[Human Entry Vehicles]]. They lived in [[Cubicles]] and ate mostly [[Meals Ready to Eat]]. A good deal of the activities also took place in caverns underneath the facility, in the Forerunner structures. | The [[humans]] set up camp around the base using the supplies they had scrounged from the ''Autumn'' and their [[Human Entry Vehicles]].
