'''Firebase Bravo''' was the name of a [[UNSC]] [[Marine]] [[Firebase]] set up on [[Sigma Octanus IV]], [[Sigma Octanus IV Grid 13 x 24|Grid 13 x 24]], during the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]]. It was partially dug into a hillside in a valley to minimize its visibility. The base itself was protected by a ring of sensors encircling the encampment. Radar and motion detectors linked surface to air missiles and the compound itself was protected and surrounded by fixed gun emplacements and barb wire. <ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', page 168</ref> | '''Firebase Bravo''' was the name of a [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] [[UNSC military bases|Firebase]] set up on [[Sigma Octanus IV]], [[Sigma Octanus IV Grid 13 x 24|Grid 13 x 24]], during the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]].

The base was set on the outskirts of the [[Covenant]]-held city of [[Côte d'Azur]] so that the Marines could store their ammunition, bunk down and prepare to take back the city, which ended in failure. | The base was set on the outskirts of the [[Covenant]]-held city of [[Côte d'Azur]] so that the Marines could store their ammunition, bunk down and prepare to take back the city, which ended in failure. | ||

All that changed when the Covenant deployed legions of ground troops, including [[Grunts]], [[Jackals]] and [[Hunters]], the latter of which humanity had never previously encountered. [[Banshee]] fliers supported the ambush by air. Despite its defenses, the base was overrun. The only survivors of the base were part of a team sent out along with [[Second Lieutenant]] [[McCasky]] to set up equipment. Four Marines: [[Corporal]] [[Harland]], [[Private]] [[Walker]], [[Private]] [[Fincher]] and [[Private]] [[Cochran]] were all that made it out alive, only to discover that the Marines at [[Alpha Headquarters]] had been overwhelmed and slaughtered in a similar fashion as well. | All that changed when the Covenant deployed legions of ground troops, including [[Grunts]], [[Jackals]] and [[Hunters]], the latter of which humanity had never previously encountered.
