The '''Damascus Materials Testing Facility''' was a [[UNSC]] base located in the [[Chi Ceti system]] on planet [[Chi Ceti IV]] in the [[Outer Colonies]]. This top-secret base is where the [[Spartan-II]] supersoldiers were relocated for their final stage of training and the inclusion of their [[MJOLNIR]] Mark IV battle armor in [[2525]]. Though it was only manned by three technicians, it had a curious feature, which was that a dozen [[AIs]] could operate and utilize the facility in close proximity to one another, which is typically impossible under normal circumstances for technical reasons.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', page 114</ref> [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] also worked here for a while to refine the MJOLNIR armor series. The [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/EOD variant|MJOLNIR/EOD]] was also created and constructed here. There were also obstacle courses for the Spartans to become accustomed with their new armor. | The '''Damascus Materials Testing Facility''' was a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] base located in the [[Chi Ceti System|Chi Ceti system]] on planet [[Chi Ceti IV]] in the [[Outer Colonies]].

Right after the Spartans received their armor, the facility was attacked by a nearby [[Covenant]] ship, the ''[[Unrelenting]]''. All personnel were evacuated and the AIs were deactivated by Halsey when she removed them in the form of data cubes. Spartans [[John-117]], [[Kelly-087]], and [[Sam-034]] boarded the ''Unrelenting'' and destroyed the ship by detonating missiles requisitioned from their [[Pelican]] dropship on one of the plasma cannons.<ref>'''Halo: Fall of Reach'''</ref> | Right after the Spartans received their armor, the facility was attacked by a nearby [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] ship, the ''[[Unrelenting]]''.
