'''Menachite Mountain''' was a mountain in the [[Highland Mountains]] on [[Reach]]. Housed underneath it was the secret [[ONI]] [[CASTLE Base]], built out of a [[titanium]] mine,<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', page 108, ''ONI Section Three's secure-and-secret research facility buried under Menachite Mountain. Two decades ago it had been a titanium mine, and then the abandoned tunnels were used as storage until Section Three had taken over the mountain for their own purposes.''</ref> which was in turn placed above a network of volcanic tunnels and further down, a series of [[Menachite Forerunner complex|Forerunner ruins]], which housed a [[Forerunner crystal]].
