The entrance

Traxus Factory Complex 09 was a Traxus installation in Voi, Kenya on Earth.

Background

During the Battle of Voi in 2553 the factory was attacked by Covenant Loyalists. The small defending ontingent of UNSC Marines was wiped out and most of the complex was occupied by the attackers. The factory was then retaken by a UNSC counter-attack, led by SPARTAN-117, and assisted by some surviving civilian workers[1]. Shortly afterwards the complex was overrun by Flood from a Flood-controlled CCS-class Battlecruiser that crashed in a nearby lake bed [2].

The Flood were pursued by a Covenant Separatists fleet, led by Shipmaster Rtas 'Vadum aboard the Assault Carrier Shadow of Intent. The fleet reverted from slipspace above Complex 09 and deployed Elites against the Flood in the surrounding environs. However, the outbreak could not be contained and, with the advice of the Arbiter, Rtas 'Vadum opted to glass some of the African landmass, including Complex 09, to prevent the Flood from spreading further [3].

Associates

Companies such as Fueder Construction, Sinoviet, and Cobb Industries also did work at Complex 09.
