==Universe and lore==
==Description==
This observation outpost was established to examine the site of a spectacularly violent meteor collision recorded by an [[ONI]] patrol drone in [[2547]]. When researchers first arrived, they were startled to find a non-native fragment of the impacting agent had actually survived and was of unknown origin. More recently, interest in the site has grown as the fragment has proven to have originated from long before the earliest of known [[Forerunner]] artifacts.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2012/10/25/The-Halo-Bulletin-102512-.aspx|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=The Halo Bulletin: 10.25.12|D=16|M=11|Y=2012}}

==Overview==
Impact is situated on two large, gray asteroids floating about in space. Smaller chunks are located around it and a singular, empty [[UNSC]] structure sits on the main rock. It is mostly featureless, but this accommodates forging with structures that have a unique palette to the level.
===Layout===
Impact is situated on two large, gray asteroids floating about in space. Smaller chunks are located around it and a singular, empty [[UNSC]] structure sits on the main rock. Although the map is set on small asteroids exposed to the vacuum of space, there is sound and Earth-like gravity.

==Forge==
It is mostly featureless, but this accommodates forging with structures that have a unique palette to the level. There is a small, holographic sphere that rotates in the center of the would-be floor in the UNSC base. This is, in fact, an in-map magnet that is used to easily place the Central Floor Cap object.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
The ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'' map ''[[Nebula]]'' shares Impact's skybox.
*Although the map is set on small asteroids exposed to the vacuum of space, there is sound and Earth-like gravity. This may be present because it is intended for the player to forge indoor space station style maps with their own artificial gravity and atmosphere.
*The map's description hints that the object being excavated could be [[Precursor]] in origin.
