Template:Base Infobox Fathom Station was an underwater research facility on Beta Gabriel.

History

The Fathom Station was builted by the Imbrium Machine Complex for use by the United Nations Space Command. Located in the southern seas of the human Inner Colony Beta Gabriel, the facility's crew was tasked in 2554 with locating the crash sites of Splendid Intention and UNSC Of Uncommon Courage, two ships that crashed in the sea during the Human-Covenant War; the staff of Fathom had the intent of rediscovering the valuable weapon plans carried by the Covenant carrier, weapons that would render the energy projector obsolete.

Destruction

In 2556, during a routine survey, the Covenant carrier suddenly shifted from its resting place, violently sliding down into a nearby trench and sending debris and water directly into the station's northern terminals, tearing the complex apart and claiming the lives of 41 researchers. Splendid Intention would be lost forever, along with 23 explorers who were trapped within it; this solemn event triggered the end of UNSC Fathom's research activity, though it would secretly live on during War Games simulations.
