'''Two Giants''' is the codename for a canyon on the [[Forerunner]] [[shield world]] [[Requiem]]. It has seen occupation by [[Covenant remnant]] forces in the [[Requiem campaign]]. | |||
==History== | |||
[[File:H4 Ragnarok-1.jpg|300px|thumb|The Two Giants location on Requiem]] | |||
In early [[2558]], the area known as Two Giants was behind Covenant enemy lines. [[Mountain Squad]], a [[UNSC Marine Corps]] squadron crashed their [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] behind enemy lines. In response [[Commander]] [[Sarah Palmer]] deployed [[Fireteam Crimson]] to the area, where they combated a steady battlegroup of some Covenant and [[Promethean]] forces. Though they rescued Mountain Squad, Crimson was sent to investigate one of the [[Beam emitter]]s and activate it to Dr.[[Catherine Halsey]] could analyze it. The emitter sent out a pulse and triggered a Covenant response. <ref>'''[[Spartan Ops]]''', ''Episode 3, Chapter 3: "Spartan Mountain"''</ref> A [[CCS-class battlecruiser]] was attracted and sent in waves of [[Type-44 Troop Carrier|Phantoms]] to Crimson's position. Crimson was beating them off, but needed equipment help, prompting [[Robert Dalton]] to drop in [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark IX Armor Defense System|Mantis]] mech suits for the team. The Spartans utilized them and defeated the Covenant battlegroup, while [[Cyrus Shaw]]'s [[Charon-class light frigate]] destroyed the battle cruiser. Crimson then left the location. <ref>'''[[Spartan Ops]]''', ''Episode 3, Chapter 4: "Shootout in Valhalla"''</ref> However the area was re-taken by [[Jul 'Mdama]], and Crimson located him at Two Giants. Defeating minimal Covenant forces, Crimson found that 'Mdama had escaped using [[Slipspace translocation]]. Crimson was able to open a portal of their own, and left Two Giants, getting teleported to the [[Fortress (location)|Fortress]]. <ref>'''[[Spartan Ops]]''', ''Episode 4, Chapter 2: "Rally Point"''</ref> | |||
==Trivia== | |||
*The [[Multiplayer]] map [[Ragnarok]] is the Two Giants location. | |||
*Considering that the Two Giants area and thereby Ragnarok are solidified canon on Requiem through [[Spartan Ops]], it makes them a canon location just as the [[Valhalla]] map was from ''[[Halo 3]]''. As Ragnarok is a re-make of Valhalla, it shows that there is in the [[Halo Universe]] an eerie coincidence between Mountain Squad's crashing of their Pelican, and the crashing of [[Victor 398]], despite the events happening during the Requiem campaign and the [[Battle of Installation 00]]. Quite possibly this Forerunner canyon structure appears often on Forerunner installations due to the massive areas the Forerunners terraformed. However, the coincidence of the two events still remains. | |||
