===Design details===
Anvil Station is a [[space station]] in the form of a central spoke with two circular sections rotating about it.{{Ref/Reuse|HAA}}{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg251}} The station features several armor bays, [[hangar bay]]s, and [[War Games]] simulation decks.{{Ref/Reuse|HAA}} Notably, for the purpose of fostering greater collaboration between Anvil Station's [[human]] and [[Sangheili]] personnel, the station was not assigned an [[Smart AI|volitional]] [[artificial intelligence]]. While Anvil Station's primary function is as a military installation, its unique role has seen it outfitted with recreation decks, gardens, and commissaries.{{Ref/Reuse|CF155}}

The majority of the personnel aboard Anvil station are younger individuals who have been carefully vetted and selected across a variety of disciplines, though veterans of the [[Human-Covenant War]] from both species also serve aboard the station. Following the discovery of the [[Ussans]] and their folding into the Swords of Sanghelios, some of these Sangheili were assigned to Anvil Station to bolster its personnel with individuals who had never before encountered humans or the other [[Covenant]] client species. With their lack of post-war political strife and xenophobia, it was hoped that their inclusion would provide a unique perspective and help dissuade conflict between the crew aboard the station.{{Ref/Reuse|CF155}}

==Service history==
==Service history==
===Origins===
===UNSC and Sword of Sangheilios partnership===
During the Human-Covenant War, Anvil Station was a repair and resupply outpost, but it fell into disuse. After the formal end of the war against the Covenant, the UNSC looked for a way to put the station to use again, with the task falling to [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood]].{{Ref/Reuse|HAA}}{{Ref/Reuse|CF155}} Retrofitted for an additional 250 operational years, the revitalized Anvil Station was intended to serve as a base of operations for testing skunkworks prototypes and emerging [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|Mjolnir]] technologies as development of the platform's [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|second generation]] began in earnest for the [[SPARTAN-IV program]].{{Ref/Reuse|CF155}} On [[2553#July|July 2, 2553]], knowing that there were emerging generations for whom the Covenant War would eventually be a distant memory and seeing the opportunity to lay a foundation of hope for the future, FADM Hood proposed to the [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]—leader of the emerging Swords of Sanghelios—to use Anvil Station as the base for {{Project|CRUCIBLE}}, leading to the creation of a multispecies task force, and the development of new technologies between human and Sangheili. Thel 'Vadam would end up accepting Hood's proposal.{{Ref/Reuse|HAA}}
Anvil Station is the result of a classified partnership between the UNSC and Swords of Sanghelios, retrofit to support the newly-established [[Anvil Initiative]] and [[Project CRUCIBLE]]. Anvil Station was designed for the UNSC to test skunkworks technologies clandestine prototypes, some destined for full and successful production runs, other merely serving as a stop-gap in the development pipeline of Mjolnir components, weapon advancements, and more. Additionally, the station proved home to combat test simulations for both Spartan and Sangheili troops, hoping to test technologies and hone their combat skills.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFAO|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/armor-online|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Armor Online}}
 
===Anvil Initiative===
Anvil Station is the result of a classified partnership between the UNSC and Swords of Sanghelios, retrofitted to support the newly-established [[Anvil Initiative]] and Project: CRUCIBLE. Anvil Station was designed for the UNSC to test skunkworks technologies clandestine prototypes, some destined for full and successful production runs, others merely serving as a stop-gap in the development pipeline of Mjolnir components, weapon advancements, and more. Additionally, the station proved home to [[War Games|combat test simulations]] for both Spartan and Sangheili troops, hoping to test technologies and hone their combat skills.{{Ref/Reuse|CFAO}}
 
With the emergence of the Ussans in 2553, an ideal opportunity was presented to the Arbiter to bolster the Sangheili ranks aboard Anvil Station with individuals who had never humanity or even other Covenant client species. Though the Ussans were few in number, the Arbiter believed their perspective to be invaluable, as they were unfettered by post-war political strife and xenophobia that had been nurtured by the Covenant's caste system.{{Ref/Reuse|CF155}}
 
Sangheili lorekeepers would help in deciphering information that would be later used in the [[NOMDAGRO-class Mjolnir]]. Anvil would also test armors manufactured by third-parties as well, such as with [[PIONEER-class Mjolnir]] for [[Acheron Security]].{{Ref/Reuse|MCCDesc}}{{Ref/Reuse|CFAO}} Prior to March 3, 2560, a set of [[ASSAILER-class armor]] would be transferred to Anvil Station after an [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] operation on [[Venezia]].{{Ref/Reuse|HAA}}
 
On [[2560#March|March 3, 2560]], Anvil Station would receive a distress signal from [[Nysa]], forcing the station to mobilize some of their forces, including three Condors and Amity, Harmony, and Sympathy wings to the ''A'uzr''-pattern sword frigate ''Sword of Conjunction'' to answer it.{{Ref/Reuse|HAA}}

====Design====
Anvil Station was originally introduced into ''Halo'' as the setting for ''[[Halo Online]]'' and its multiplayer. The game's cancellation means that much of the released details about ''Halo Online'' from that era are now-considered non-canon. The below section records information released about Anvil Station that has yet to be corroborated in a more recent canon source.
[[File:Anvil Station Blueprint.png|thumb|200px|left|Blueprints of the station.]]
Built by the UNSC, Anvil Station was created for the Spartan-IV program for use in training human and Sangheili forces.<ref>[https://ru.4game.com/halo/install/ '''Halo Online''' - ''Install Page'']</ref> The station consists of a large, cylindrical mid-structure featuring a command center on top. The structure is surrounded by two disk-shaped facilities, with the upper one consisting of several decks used for simulation training, and the lower one comprising of living quarters. At the lower end of the station are docking ports for transport modules. The station has a projected operational life of 250 years and in total there are 7,365 humans and Sangheili working on-board.<ref>[[:File:Anvil Station Blueprint.png]]</ref>

Anvil Station was the setting for the cancelled ''[[Halo Online]]'' game. After the game's cancellation, both the station and the Anvil Initiative have been mentioned in ancillary media, such as ''[[Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual]]''. With the arrival of [[Series 5: Anvil]] on ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', Anvil Station was mentioned for the first time as the testing ground of several new armors added into ''[[Halo 3]]''{{'}}s [[Armor customization (Halo 3)|armor customization]] and the namesake of the aforementioned Season. It was later the basis for an [[Anvil (Operation)|eponymously titled]] multiplayer [[Event#Operations|operation]] in ''[[Halo Infinite]]''.
