The '''Chiron Test Station''' on [[Mars]] was one of the main training facilities for the [[Spartan-II]]'s elite super soldiers.
Chiron also contained several micro-gravity equipment and martial arts training facilities. [[Li-008|SPARTAN-008]] trained extensively in these facilities.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', page 219</ref>
 
==Chiron TL34==
[[Chiron TL-34]] was one of the harsher training areas that the Spartans had to train in, simulating close quarters for engagements within [[Covenant]] ships. The courses are filled with [[teleporters|"warpers"]], as the troops came to call them, based on Covenant technology which was obviously derived from [[Forerunner]] technology.
 
Chiron TL34 is also a [[Multiplayer|multiplayer]] map in [[Halo: Combat Evolved|Halo:CE]].


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The station is the setting of the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' [[multiplayer]] map "[[Chiron TL-34]]".
*Chiron TL34 may be reference to 3+4=7, [[seven]] being a number Bungie incorporates into many features of the Halo series.
*[[Wikipedia:Chiron|Chiron]] is a centaur who trained [[Wikipedia:Achilles|Achilles]] in Greek mythology.
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiron Chiron] is also one of the few noble centaurs who trained Achilles in Greek Mythology. This could also be a reference as the Spartans were believed to have been near invincible, as was Achilles, although Achilles' only weak spot was his ankle, the so-called "Achilles Heel."
*The "TL" in Chiron TL-34 can be presumed to mean 'Testing Lab'.
