The '''Damascus Materials Testing Facility''' was a [[UNSC]] base located in the [[Chi Ceti system]] on planet [[Chi Ceti IV]], in the UNSC-controlled, [[Outer Colonies]]. This top-secret base is where the [[Spartan-II]] supersoldiers were relocated for their final stage of training and the inclusion of their [[MJOLNIR]] Mark IV Battle [[Armor]] in [[2525]]. Though it was only manned by three technicians, it had a curious feature, which was that a dozen [[AIs]] could operate and utilize the facility in close proximity to one another, which is typically impossible under normal circumstances for technical reasons.<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', page 114</ref> It is implied that [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]] worked here for a while to refine the [[MJOLNIR armor]] series. The [[Mark VI MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/EOD variant]] was also created and constructed here. There were also obstacle courses for the [[Spartans]] to become accustomed with their new armor. | |||
Right after the Spartans received their armor, the facility was attacked by nearby [[Covenant]] activity, the ''[[Unrelenting]]''. All personnel were evacuated and the AIs were deactivated by Halsey when she removed them in the form of cubes of data. Spartans [[John-117]], [[Kelly-087]], and [[Sam-034]] boarded the ''Unrelenting'' and destroyed the ''[[Unrelenting]]'' by detonating missiles requisitioned from their [[Pelican]] drop ship on one of the plasma cannon's.<ref>''Halo: Fall of Reach''</ref> | |||
The remaining [[Covenant]] force captured weapons and armor, which were studied later on in a 'Science lance'.<ref>''Halo Wars Timeline''</ref> | The remaining [[Covenant]] force captured weapons and armor, which were studied later on in a 'Science lance'.<ref>''Halo Wars Timeline''</ref> | ||
