 '''HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6''', nicknamed '''the Hive''',<ref name="hive"/> is a [[United Nations Space Command]] military base and its formal headquarters located in [[Sydney]], [[Australia]].

+==History==
+[[File:HI Highcom.png|thumb|220px|A meeting of UNSC Admirals at Bravo-6.]]
+During the [[Insurrection]], Bravo-6 was used by the UNSC to monitor dissident Earth colonies. High ranking UNSC officials utilized the [[Wendy House]] of Bravo-6's [[Threat Analysis Wing]] to stage war-games and run table-top exercises. Such rooms were later left abandoned as the emergence of the [[Human-Covenant War|Covenant War]] took precedence over human-on-human violence.<ref>'''[[Halo: Glasslands]]''', ''page 62''</ref>
+On September 4, [[2552]], following the [[Fall of Reach]], a debriefing meeting was held at Bravo-6 for [[Lieutenant]] [[Wagner]] in front of the Security Council. Wagner informed the Security Committee of the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}'s escape from Reach, and the apparent [[glassing]] of the planet<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''pages 100-106''</ref>
+Bravo-6 was left unscathed during the Covenant's assault of Earth and continued to serve as the UNSC's primary headquarters.
+In January of [[2553]], a meeting of high level UNSC officials was held by [[Musa-096|Commander Musa]]. He discussed the development and necessity of the new [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan IV program]]. Musa informed the council that the Spartans would have their own independent branch within the UNSCDF.<ref>'''Halo: Initiation''', ''Issue 1''</ref><ref>'''Halo: Initiation''', ''Issue 3''</ref>
+On January 26, [[2553]], [[ODST|shock troopers]] [[Malcolm Geffen]] and [[Vasily Beloi]] arrived at Bravo-6 and met with [[Lian Devereaux|Sgt. Lian Devereaux]], Spartan [[Naomi-010]], Capt. [[Serin Osman]], Prof. [[Evan Phillips]], and [[ONI|CINCONI]] [[Admiral]][[Margaret O. Parangosky]]. They were assembled into a black operations team known as [[Kilo-Five]].
+On March 3, [[2558]], Captain [[Thomas Lasky]] and Spartan [[Sarah Palmer]] were requested to appear before the Security Council at Bravo-6. The Security Committee expressed misgivings about Lasky's handling of the [[Second Battle of Requiem]].<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue 1''</ref>
