This '''ONI Base''' is | This '''ONI Base''' is a [[UNSC]] [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] base in the jungles of planet [[Arcadia (Planet)|Arcadia]]. It is located in close proximity of the [[Arcadia Forerunner Ruins|Arcadia Forerunner Ruin site]]. It’s unknown if this is a coincidence, or if the ONI built the base to the area on purpose.<ref name="dome">''[[Halo Wars]]'' level ''[[Dome of Light]]''</ref> | ||

The base is built onto a plateau, likely called "Beasley's Plateau", it's edge overlooking the valley that contains the [[Arcadia Forerunner Ruins|Forerunner ruins]]. It consists of five landing platforms, all of which are connected to a large central field. The base has two [[UNSC Reactor|Reactors]] powering it. It also has a hangar and several other buildings around it. There are also multiple air control towers around the base.<ref name="dome"/> | The base is built onto a plateau, likely called "Beasley's Plateau", it's edge overlooking the valley that contains the [[Arcadia Forerunner Ruins|Forerunner ruins]].

During the [[First Battle of Arcadia]] in [[2531]], the base was apparently attacked by the Covenant during the opening stages of the battle, as much of the base was left in ruins. The [[UNSC]] used the apparently-deserted base as their base of operations, when they attacked a [[Covenant]] base inside a dome-shaped energy shield. They used an air pad on the base to call in [[Rhino|Rhino tanks]] from the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} in orbit, and placed the tanks on the landing pads on the edge of the cliff. After a few unsuccessful attempts, they managed to destroy the Covenant outposts in the area and breach the energy field. After destroying it, they proceeded down to the valley to investigate the area.<ref name="dome"/> | During the [[First Battle of Arcadia]] in [[2531]], the base was apparently attacked by the Covenant during the opening stages of the battle, as much of the base was left in ruins.
