==History== | |||
The base was created long ago to fight "earlier and simpler" enemies than those faced by the [[UNSC]] in the 26th century,<ref name="HGBeta">[https://halo.bungie.net/content.aspx?link=h3betaHighGround ''Bungie.net'': High Ground: The Beta guide]</ref> and was at one point occupied by [[North Atlantic Treaty Organization|NATO]] in the past.<ref>[[:File:H3 HighGround NATO symbol.jpg|Screenshot of NATO symbol on High Ground]]</ref> It was recommissioned by the UNSC following the [[New Mombasa Slipspace Event]].<ref>''[[Halo 3]]'', multiplayer map [[High Ground]]</ref>{{Ref/Reuse|HGBeta}} Following their rise to prominence in the hands of [[Jiralhanae]] soldiers in the [[Great Schism]], recovered examples of the [[Type-2 spike grenade]] and the [[Paegaas Workshop Spiker]] were tested at the facility.{{Ref/Site|Id=spiker|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BAGBruteSpiker|Site=Bungie.net|Page=The Spiker|D=30|M=06|Y=2019|LocalArchive=Machines, Materiel and Munitions from the Human-Covenant Conflict, 2525 - Present/Spiker}}{{Ref/Site|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BAGBruteGrenade|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Spike Grenade|D=07|M=02|Y=2021|LocalArchive=Machines, Materiel and Munitions from the Human-Covenant Conflict, 2525 - Present/Spike grenade}} | |||
==Layout== | |||
Outpost C9 consists of a base structure built into a small canyon, with the only point of access being the open water at the canyon's fore. To prevent coastal assaults, the primary defense of the base involves a large solid wall, watchtower and a bunker watching down over the beach. The middle of the wall contains a large blast gate which can be opened by a computer terminal inside the base, and a single [[AIE-486H machine gun]] is situated over the gate to deter potential intruders. The interior of the base contains a command center, hangar and a courtyard at the back, among other buildings. The courtyard contains a static [[surface-to-air missile launcher]] for firing [[Advanced Short-Range Ground-to-Air Missile 10X|ASRGAM 10X]] missiles, and the hangar are has several additional locked doors that lead further into the base. | |||
Due to the base's age and abandonment followed by a swift UNSC recommissioning, many of the structures in the base have crumbled over time, but are mixed with more modern and up-to-date technology of the 26th Century.{{Ref/Reuse|HGBeta}} | |||
