The Field Armory is a UNSC military building produced off of a prefabricated Firebase.[1] It serves as the UNSC counterpart to the Temple and War Council structures used by the Covenant and Banished, respectively.

OverviewEdit

The Field Armory is a combination of a machine/fabrication shop and a research laboratory. It is the location where the most advanced technology for the UNSC is created by dedicated engineers and scientists.[1] By the time of the Second Ark Conflict, the Field Armory's functions have been largely subsumed by the Armory structure.[2]
