| This unidentified '''Forerunner relic ''' is a type of [[Forerunner]] structure located on the surface of the [[shield world]] [[Trove]].{{Ref/Map|Id=HW|HW|Release}}

|
| ==Function==
| | A '''Relic''' is a [[Forerunner]] structure found in ''[[Halo Wars]]'', they hold the keys to the containment doors, and thus can be used to release [[Flood]] upon an enemy. They must be garrisoned with troops to release the seal. They can only be found on the multiplayer map [[Release]]. |
| The structure was a Forerunner platform with a central control panel, which provided remote access to the nearby [[Flood]] [[Flood containment facility|containment facility]]. It has a large [[Forerunner symbols|Forerunner symbol]] that correspond to those found at the entrance into the facility. By [[2531]], although the external surface of containment facility was overrun by Flood infestation, the control panels remained operational, allowing users to release Flood from the containment facility.{{Ref/Reuse|HW}}

| ==In-game information== | | ==Trivia== |
| The Forerunner Relic appears exclusively on the ''[[Halo Wars]]'' Skirmish level [[Release]]; one located on the northern corner of the map, while the other is located on the southwest corner. Each Relic is defended by a [[Flood Root]]. When garrisoned with friendly infantry units, players can access the Relic's circle menu and release Flood from the corresponding Containment Unit, with the starting cost being {{HWTech|1}} and {{HWResources|300}}; subsequent activations cost an additional {{HWResources|300}} each time (until it reaches a maximum of {{HWResources|900}}) and can be purchased as many times as desired, but with a wait time of two minutes between each wave.
| | It is currently unknown why the Forerunners would build a way to ever release the Flood. Though, it is possible they were built before the war against the Flood started in full scale. |
| | |
| The Flood Containment Units are located near the starting base locations, but the released Flood units could attack both players. Furthermore, the first three times the control panel is activated, each wave has units in greater variety and numbers. The first swarm has [[Flood attacker form|infected marines]] and [[Flood carrier form|carrier forms]], the second wave adds [[Flood thrasher form|thrasher forms]], and the third adds [[Flood swarm form]]s. Continued releases result in a repeat of the third wave.
