'''Methane recharge stations'''<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 303''</ref> are portable [[methane]] tanks used by [[Covenant]] [[Unggoy]] to spare additional methane for their [[Methane tank|personal gas tanks]] in the field. | '''Methane recharge stations'''<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 303''</ref> are portable [[methane]] tanks used by [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Unggoy]] to spare additional methane for their [[Methane tank|personal gas tanks]] in the field. | ||
The Unggoy homeworld, [[Balaho]], is a methane-rich planet, and as such, they breathe methane gas. Thus, when they are in an [[oxygen]]-rich atmosphere, like that of the [[Halo Array|Halo installations]] or [[Earth]], they need to wear a [[Methane tank|methane gas tank]]. When Unggoy are in battle, they may run low on their supply of methane, so they must have a ready supply nearby if required. These tanks contain the ready supply of methane gas the Unggoy need. | The Unggoy homeworld, [[Balaho]], is a methane-rich planet, and as such, they breathe methane gas.

The | Most are short, round purple barrel-like devices with a large blue valve on the top. The methane tanks are seen generally where Unggoy operate. The tanks are also highly explosive due to their methane content.<ref>'''Halo 2'''</ref> | ||
The Covenant also use a larger model of the device that can refill the methane tanks of several Unggoy simultaneously.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]''</ref> | |||

== Trivia == | |||
*If the blue "X" pattern on the tank is shot at it will ignite and burn for a while before exploding. | |||
*A different version of the methane recharge station appears in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. It is highly explosive and leaks gas when it is about to explode. It is capable of simultaneously refilling the methane tanks of four Unggoy. | |||
