==Summary==
{{Article Quote|The civilian evacuation is complete. UNSC forces must safely withdraw from the city.}}
After evacuating numerous civilians inside [[Arcadia City (location)|Arcadia City]], [[Sergeant]] [[John Forge]], his [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]], a [[M808B Main Battle Tank|Scorpion]] tank and [[Red Team]] retreat to a nearby impact crater, the closest defensible position. However, along the way they encounter large numbers of [[Covenant]] near their route and pursuing them. The UNSC forces manage to reach the crater and clear it of Covenant forces.


The UNSC forces construct a [[Firebase]] in the crater and begin building up their forces as they defend the crater, joined by more retreating forces brought in by Pelican dropship. The UNSC forces are forced to hold for around twenty minutes against massive waves of Covenant troops and vehicles, with the Covenant eventually constructing a {{Pattern|Emp'seam|Antlion}} nearby. Finally, Forge and his forces manage to hold out long enough for [[Team Omega|SPARTAN Team Omega]] to arrive to reinforce them.
'''Arcadia Outskirts''' is the fifth level of the real-time strategy game, ''[[Halo Wars]]''.


With the help of Team Omega, the UNSC forces launch an attack on a nearby [[Covenant citadel]], the main Covenant base in the area. After the base is destroyed, Team Omega departs the area and Forge is recalled to the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} because they've got a new problem.
==Plot==
After evacuating numerous civilians inside [[Pirth City]], [[Sergeant]] [[John Forge]], his [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]], a [[M808B Main Battle Tank|Scorpion]] tank and [[Red Team]] retreat to a nearby crater for evacuation. However, along the way they encounter large numbers of [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] near their route and pursuing them, with an additional Covenant base being built nearby.  
 
Once they had retreated to the crater, a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] base is being built to assist them on the ground. Due to a large number of Covenant infantry and vehicles, they are further assisted by [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelicans]] deploying Marines, [[SP42 Cobra|Cobras]], and [[Team Omega|Spartan Team Omega]] (note this is the only level you can control Spartan Team Omega). Once nearby Covenant forces are wiped out, the UNSC forces are recalled back to the ''[[UNSC Spirit of Fire|Spirit of Fire]]'' by [[James Gregory Cutter|Captain Cutter]], upon discovering a new problem on Arcadia.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In the crater at the beginning of the level, the player will encounter multiple Covenant Grunt lances, but there is a lone [[Jiralhanae|Brute]] leading a Grunt squad into battle.
*If you look closely in the crater at the beginning of the level, you will encounter multiple Covenant Grunt lances, however there is a lone [[Jiralhanae|Brute]] leading a Grunt squad into battle.
*It is impossible to beat the level before the 20 minute mark when Serina announces the arrival of [[Team Omega]]. Even if the player destroys the Covenant base, enemy reinforcements will continue to be sent through the highway tunnel until the Spartans arrive. Destroying the base before then may cause the level's closing dialogue to play out of order.{{Ref/YouTube|Zt6C8K2Vsr4|Wolfwood824/WolfieGGnS|Ⓦ Halo Wars Legendary Campaign}}
