| | The '''Munera Platforms''' are orbital combat stations of the [[United Nations Space Command]], created shortly after the activation of the [[SPARTAN-IV program]]. Sponsored by weapon and armor manufacturers, these stations allow corporations to analyze the raw data of their products, allowing them to better enhance their own product lines, while the UNSC leverages these events to train and hone Spartans during periods of relative peace.<ref name="universe">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/munera-platform '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Munera Platform'']</ref> |

| Munera Platforms exist across [[human]]-occupied space,{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} at most naval depots and training facilities,{{Ref/Reuse|osfm47}} though [[Earth]] and [[Mars]] currently have the largest numbers. One such platform is '''Munera Platform A7''', located in orbit over Earth.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}
| | Designed as a discrete, self-contained arena, Munera Platforms are capable of simulating a vast number of terrains and scenarios. Utilizing [[War Games]] technology, the platform can quickly generate any environmental schema using advanced [[Holography|holographic]] and [[hard light]] technology. These stations can create simulations of any number of practical scenarios, though the most common simulations involve two [[fireteam]]s facing-off in a symmetrical or semi-symmetrical arena. Combat orbitals have subsequently been utilized by all of the UNSC's branches, garnering a large internal following, creating cross-branch competition.

| ==Description==
| |
| While larger [[warship]]s such as {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} have extensive [[War Games]] facilities, most ships are not sizable enough to hold large exercises. Munera Platforms are designed to provide orbital training facilities for [[Spartan]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|osfm47}}<ref>Halo Waypoint: [https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-needle-me-this ''Canon Fodder - Needle Me This'']</ref>

| [[Wikipedia:Munera (ancient Rome)|Munera]] referred to the creation of public works and entertainments for the aristocrats of Rome, similar to how exercises conducted on the Munera Platforms are broadcasted to the citizens of the [[Unified Earth Government]]. The Munera Platforms serve as the in-universe framing device for the [[Breakout]] multiplayer maps in ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''.
