Conveyors move heavy packing crates along its central spine for delivery and distribution.{{Ref/Reuse|Manual}} Two conveyor belts exist on both sides, moving in opposite directions. As the game goes on, large crates appear on the belts. | ||
Elongation is somewhat of a small, close quarters combat level, hence the presence of a [[Type-25 Brute Shot|Brute Shot]] and [[M90 shotgun|shotgun]].

*Despite the map's description of the ''Onan'' being on the other side of the planet to where the Battle of Earth is being fought, the map's skybox shows Earth with Europe and Africa facing the ship - the same locale as where Cairo Station and the [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration]] were in the battle. This is likely for the reuse of the skybox seen in the Cairo Station level. | *Despite the map's description of the ''Onan'' being on the other side of the planet to where the Battle of Earth is being fought, the map's skybox shows Earth with Europe and Africa facing the ship - the same locale as where Cairo Station and the [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration]] were in the battle.
