-'''Firebase Bravo''' was the name of a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] [[Military base|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>

 The base was set on the outskirts of the [[Covenant Empire|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.
