'''Beachhead''' is the thirteenth level of the real-time strategy game, ''[[Halo Wars]]''. | |||
== Description == | |||
After [[Ellen Anders|Prof. Anders]] escapes from the top of [[the Apex]], Sergeant [[John Forge]] rescues her from three [[Flood]] [[Infection Form]]s. They, escorted by a couple of [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] squads, head off to a nearby LZ where a [[Pelican]] arrives to pick up Anders and bring her to safety. Sergeant Forge is then tasked to capture and take control of 4 other nearby Covenant bases. Due to the difficulty of this task, [[Red Team]] arrives via [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|HEVs]] to assist the Sergeant. With the help of a newly built UNSC [[firebase]], they complete their task with difficulty and success. While Banshees fly over your bases often, the Covenant have abandoned a Scarab because it was contaminated by the Flood. The Scarab can be hijacked and be used against the Covenant to great effect | |||

''The Arbiter lifts her hand above the holographic, spherical console, which reacts by spinning, and then stopping to reveal five highlighted hexagonal "buttons", upon which the Arbiter places Anders' hand. In response to human touch, the control console begins to emit a steady beam, which terminates in a flash as the once dormant structures surrounding the Apex platform begin to slowly unfold and awaken from their millennia of inactivity, revealing themselves to be [[Unnamed Forerunner Starship|advanced Forerunner starships]]. Staring up at the unraveling fleet in awe, the Arbiter releases his grip on Anders. The two other Elites which had accompanied him share the same reaction. The several honor guards leave their posts, to better behold the spectacle of the unfolding fleet. The Arbiter lifts his fists into the air, and begins to preach charismatically.'' | |||

It was captured by the [[Flood]], and as [[Sergeant Forge]] said, "The [[Covenant]] left their keys in it". Killing 25 enemy units with this Scarab will unlock the [[Beaming with Pride]] Achievement. Strangely enough, said Scarab is also labeled a "Super" Scarab, like the one that was destroyed in the Seventh level. This was made to create a new unit to prevent the heavy "20" population count. Also note that this scarab can't climb over impassible terrain, a trait present in other Scarabs. | ||
