'''Alpha Base''' was the main tactical [[Military base|firebase]] used during the [[Battle of Installation 04|Battle of Alpha Halo]] by surviving [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces after landfall on [[Installation 04]]. It was located on a small [[Wikipedia:Mesa|mesa]] several kilometers down-spin from the crash site of the {{UNSCShip|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.

The second battle was [[Zuka 'Zamamee]]'s attempt to get into the base and kill the Master Chief. Approximately six [[Type-28 Troop Carrier|Spirit dropships]] full of Covenant and the captured [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] ''[[Charlie 217]]'' full of cloaked [[Sangheili]] commandos participated in the attack. The Pelican managed to touch down and release the Sangheili within before its landing pad was doused in fuel and lit. However, Zuka 'Zamamee and several Sangheili had already fled and began in search of the Chief. Before being killed by the [[Stealth Sangheili]] led by Zamamee, a valiant crewman, [[Cho (Navy technician)|Cho]], gave the AI Wellsley control of the 50mm autocannons, with which he was able to eliminate 1 Spirit dropship. The remaining dropships released their troops further away from the base and attempted to assault it thus. Snipers expertly inflicted heavy casualties on the disembarking troops. Two of the recovered [[M808B Main Battle Tank|Scorpion Tanks]] had been entrenched and were able to cut down much of the onslaught, including the [[Field Master|Field Commander]]. With their leader dead, lesser Sangheili attempted to assume command with little success. In the end, all remaining Covenant were either captured, killed, or forced to retreat. [[Yayap]] and [[Zuka 'Zamamee|Zamamee]] were able to survive by stealing one of the [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]] that the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] had been able to salvage.
