'''Empire''' is a ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' [[multiplayer]] map.  It is set in an [[AMG Transport Dynamics]] [[M12 Chaingun Warthog|Warthog]] manufacturing facility<ref name="HW">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/art-showcase '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Halo 5 Art Showcase'']</ref> in [[Noctus]], the capital city of [[Andesia]].<ref name="cannonfodder">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-beta-late-than-never '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Cannon Fodder: Beta Late Than Never'']</ref> The map is based of the first location where the [[SPARTAN-II program]] was openly used to quell an insurgent uprising.{{Ref/Reuse|HW}} The remix version of this map is [[Eden]].

==Layout==
Like many other maps in ''Halo 5: Guardians'', Empire is symmetrical and emphasizes on verticality.

===Red Base===
Red Base is the area where red team spawns. It has exits leading to both Middle and Turbine. An [[SMG]] and two [[plasma grenades]] spawn on the platform attached to the main room, and a [[BR85HB battle rifle|battle rifle]] spawns on a small balcony area that is able to be clambered to.

===Blue Base===
[[File:H5-Empire-Beta-10.jpg|thumb|250px|Blue Base.]]
Blue base is the area where blue team spawns. It is on the opposite side of the map and has a layout identical to Red Base, with a few aesthetic differences.

===Top Middle===
[[File:H5-Empire-Beta-2.jpg|thumb|250px|Top Middle.]]
Top Middle is the large area in the middle of the map which has stairs, ramps and ledges leading to all other areas of the map. Below a climbable ledge leading to Turbine is a depression in the floor where the [[overshield]] spawns. On top of two adjacent raised platforms are the [[frag grenade]] spawns.

===Turbine===
Turbine is comprised of an open outside area with a circular section in the center which is partly indoors. It has entrances leading to both Red and Blue Bases, and a drop to the overshield spawn. Inside the circular area is the [[boltshot]] spawn and another frag grenade spawn. The outside area has two raised platforms on either side of the circular area, with [[Kelos'vaarda-pattern storm rifle|storm rifle]] spawns and one raised platform running along the rim of the building, where in the middle is the {{Pattern|Tufasumo|plasma caster}} spawn and at either end are plasma grenades.

===Tower===
The Tower is located on the opposite side of the map to Turbine and is comprised of 3 levels:

'''Level 1'''- The lowest level of the Tower is accessible from two entrances on either side of the room or a ramp descending from Level 2. The [[M45 shotgun#M45D Tactical Shotgun|shotgun]] spawns in this area.

'''Level 2'''- Level 2 has ramps on either side leading to Top Middle and ramps leading up to Level 3. Behind a small wall near the center of the room is another plasma grenade spawn.

'''Level 3'''- Level 3 is the top level of Tower. It is exposed and is in jumping distance of the raised platforms on Top Middle as well as the platforms attached to Red and Blue Base. The [[M395 DMR|DMR]] spawns on this Level.
