A '''Vehicle Depot''' contains the heavy equipment and crew to assemble vehicle kits. Hydraulic cranes serve as the muscle to move everything from Cobra chassis, Scorpion armored plates, and the impressive selection of weaponry that these vehicles can bring to bear. The parts may take awhile to arrive, but when the engine from a new Scorpion fires up in the Vehicle Depot, the rumble is felt all across the base.<ref>http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/vehicledepot.aspx</ref>
A '''Vehicle Depot''' is a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] military building produced off of a prefabricated [[Firebase]].

The Vehicle Depot contains the heavy equipment and crew to assemble vehicle kits.  It is capable of building and reinforcing the UNSC's powerful ground based Corps with [[M9 Wolverine|Wolverines]], [[SP42 Cobra|Cobras]], and [[M808B Scorpion|Scorpions]]. Hydraulic cranes move vehicle parts, including [[SP42 Cobra|Cobra]] chassis, [[M808B Scorpion|Scorpion]] armored plates, and the selection of weaponry mounted on these vehicles. Vehicles are stored as prepackaged "kits", and quickly assembled via the structure's internal assembly equipment and personnel, before being released for use in combat.{{Ref/Reuse|hwsite}} By the time of the [[Second Ark Conflict]], the Vehicle Depot's functions have been largely subsumed by the [[UNSC Garage|Garage]] structure.{{Ref/Game|Id=PL|HW2|Phoenix_Logs#UNSC_Buildings|Phoenix Logs|Detail=[[UNSC Garage|Garage]]}}
