'''Traxus Factory Complex 09''' was a [[Traxus]] installation in [[Voi]], [[Kenya]] on [[Earth]]. Companies such as [[Fueder Construction]], [[SinoViet Heavy Machinery|SinoViet]], and [[COBB Industries]] also worked at Complex 09. [[Traxus Factory Complex 71]] was located nearby.

During the [[Battle of Voi]], the factory was occupied by [[Covenant]] forces. The complex was then retaken by a UNSC counter-attack, led by [[John-117]].<ref name="storm">'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level, ''[[The Storm]]''</ref> Shortly afterward the complex was overrun by [[Flood]] from a [[Indulgence of Conviction|Flood-controlled battlecruiser]] that crashed in a nearby lake bed.{{Ref/Reuse|storm}} Soon after, the entire region was glassed by the [[Sangheili]] [[Fleet of Retribution]].

The facility was originally involved with shipments to the [[Mombasa Tether]], and had extensive port facilities for ships to transport cargo to the coastal city of [[New Mombasa]] where the elevator was based. After the elevator fell in the [[Battle of Mombasa]], the shipment warehouses were soon abandoned.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', [[multiplayer]] map, ''[[Foundry]]''</ref> Known sections of the factory complex included the primary Sections 01 and 02, as well as several other sections, including K2433, K434, K435, K436 and K437.{{Ref/Reuse|storm}}

In the [[Battle of Voi]] during the [[Battle of Earth]] in [[2552#November|November 2552]], the factory was attacked by the Covenant. The small defending contingent of [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marines]] was wiped out and most of the complex was occupied by the attackers, who constructed a [[Type-27 Anti-Aircraft Cannon]] on a nearby hill and deployed multiple [[Ogab'd-pattern anti-aircraft Wraith|Anti-Aircraft Wraiths]] to the lake beds beside the facility. In the ensuing UNSC counterattack, [[John-117]] and [[Thel 'Vadam]], along with a small squad of Marines and [[Civilian|surviving civilian workers]], fought through the Factory Complex to take out the Covenant anti-air defenses in Voi.{{Ref/Reuse|storm}}

A small Marine outpost was located in Section 01 of the complex. It contained 8 [[M41 SSR MAV/AW|rocket launchers]] and four [[Mongoose]]s, and was defended by a [[AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun|turret]]. A small [[squad]] of Marines defended it from the south end, while the rest prepared to assault the nearby Anti-Aircraft Wraiths with their heavy weaponry and Mongooses. The section came under heavy attack from a [[War Chieftain]] and his squad of [[Jiralhanae]], [[Kig-Yar]] and [[Unggoy]]. Just before the Marines ran out of ammo, SPARTAN-117, having taken out the Anti-Aircraft Wraith to the south, attacked and killed the Covenant forces in the area. A [[Kez'katu-pattern Phantom|Phantom]] then unloaded several dozen [[Yanme'e]] through the destroyed skylight on the roof, but they weren't enough to stop the Spartan. In this section, [[Cortana]] messaged Master Chief with "I have defied gods and demons."{{Ref/Reuse|storm}}

All the Marines then mounted up and attacked the Covenant forces on the northern lake bed along the Chief. They were successful in neutralizing both Anti-Aircraft Wraiths as well as a [[Deutoros-pattern Scarab|Scarab]] that appeared soon after. After clearing Section 01, they pushed through Sections K2433, K434 and K435 filled with Covenant forces. In Section K436, a group of civilian factory workers with M6G Magnums helped the Marines kill the Jiralhanae attacking them. In Section K437, a [[Mgalekgolo]] pair attacked the Marines and killed many factory workers.{{Ref/Reuse|storm}}

After the Flood landed on Earth, SPARTAN-117 and Thel 'Vadam fought their way back through the facility en route to the crashed, Flood-infected {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}}. The Flood were pursued by the [[Sangheili]] [[Fleet of Retribution]], led by [[Shipmaster]] [[Rtas 'Vadum]] aboard the [[CAS-class assault carrier|assault carrier]] ''[[Shadow of Intent]]''. The fleet reverted from [[slipspace]] above Complex 09 and deployed Sangheili against the Flood in the surrounding environs. However, the outbreak could not be contained and Rtas 'Vadum opted to [[Glassing|glass]] some of the African landmass, including Complex 09, to prevent the Flood from spreading further.<ref name="floodgate">'''Halo 3''', campaign level, ''[[Floodgate]]''</ref>

*Traxus Factory Complex 09 is also the site of the ''Halo 3'' multiplayer map, [[Foundry]]. Foundry appears to be located along the edge of the complex, against a body of water; across this body of water, another complex ([[Traxus Factory Complex 71]]) can be seen.
