History

A meeting of UNSC officers at Bravo-6

During the Insurrection, Bravo-6 was used by the UNSC to monitor dissident colonies. High-ranking UNSC officials used the Wendy House of Bravo-6's Threat Analysis Wing to stage war games and run tabletop exercises. Such rooms were later left abandoned as the emergence the Covenant War took precedence over inter-human violence.[3]

On September 4, 2552, following the Fall of Reach, a debriefing was held at Bravo-6 for Lieutenant Wagner in front of the Security Council. Wagner informed the Security Council of the planet's glassing and the UNSC Pillar of Autumn's escape.[4]

Bravo-6 was left unscathed during the Covenant's assault of Earth and continued to serve as the UNSC's primary headquarters.

In January 2553, a meeting of high-level UNSC officials was held by Commander Musa-096. He discussed the development and necessity of the new SPARTAN-IV program. Musa informed the council that the Spartans would have their own independent branch within the UNSC.[5][6]

On January 26, 2553, shock troopers Malcolm Geffen and Vasily Beloi arrived at Bravo-6 and met with Sergeant Lian Devereaux, Spartan Naomi-010, Captain Serin Osman, Professor Evan Phillips, and CINCONI Admiral Margaret O. Parangosky. They were assembled into a black operations team known as Kilo-Five.

After they were recovered by Kilo-Five, Dr. Catherine Halsey and the other survivors from Shield World 006 were taken to Earth to be debriefed at Bravo-6.[7]

On March 3, 2558, Captain Thomas Lasky and Spartan Sarah Palmer were requested to appear before the Security Council at Bravo-6. The Council expressed misgivings about Lasky's handling of the Requiem Campaign.[8]
