Phoenix Log - Ashes

The wreckage of a Covenant freighter lies scattered across the amber wasteland.

This hostile environment, blood-red and battered by harsh winds, is rendered even crueler by the scorched and smoking remains of a Covenant freighter, blasted out of the sky by Forerunner defenses. The impact trench created by the crash leads down into a deep crater, where the force of the collision has destroyed the top layer of the refugia, revealing the proto-Forerunner substructure running underneath.


Production notes[edit]

During the development of Halo Wars 2, Ashes was known internally as "Caldera".[2]
