Inside [[Mechanite Mountain]], [[ONI]]'s '''CASTLE Base''' is located on the planet of [[Reach]], two thousand meters below the [[Highland Mountains]]. Protected by massive amounts of granite, it is virtually bombproof, well defended and impenetrable.<ref name="omega">[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], page 229</ref> CASTLE Base could withstand the force equivalent to an 80 megaton nuclear blast. The complex was originally a titanium mine, but was closed down after the mine breached the [[Forerunner]] complex below.

[[Dr. Catherine Halsey]] had an office in CASTLE Base, as did [[Colonel James Ackerson]]. The [[SPARTAN II|Spartan-IIs]] were familiar with CASTLE Base. During the [[First Battle of Reach]], the base was Delta Team's fallback position. [[Spartan-043|William-043]], [[Spartan-030|Vinh-030]] and [[Spartan-039|Isaac-039]] arrived here. They were soon accompanied by [[Spartan-104|Fredric-104]] and [[Spartan-087|Kelly-087]]. It turned out that Dr. Halsey was left in the base as well in order to activate [[Operation: WHITE GLOVE]] to prevent the [[Covenant]] from getting [[UNSC]] [[technology|technologies]].

When the [[Covenant]] forces breached the base, [[Dr. Halsey]] was forced to put operation: WHITEGLOVE into action and destroy the base and AI, forcing Dr. Halsey and the Spartans into the titanium mines below.
