'''Olympic Tower''', also known as the ''' | [[File:HaloReach - Olympic Tower.jpg|thumb|250px|[[SPARTAN-B312|SPARTAN-B312's]] [[UH-144 Falcon|Falcon]] approaching Olympic Tower.]] | ||
'''Olympic Tower''', also known as the '''Office of Naval Intelligence Headquarters''' and abbreviated '''ONI HQ''', was a building at [[Fleet Command Headquarters]], in the city of [[New Alexandria]] at [[Eposz]] on the planet [[Reach]].<ref name="reach">'''[[Halo: Reach]]''' campaign level ''[[New Alexandria (level)|New Alexandria]]''</ref> It was one of FLEETCOM HQ's main buildings for special projects and high ranking officials, including those with [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]].<ref name="CH">'''[[Halo: Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 230''</ref> As one of New Alexandria's highest buildings, it was quite prestigious a tower to be in, and in particular, the corner offices provided a wonderful view of the surrounding area.<ref name="CH"/> | |||
[[Dr. Catherine Halsey]], leader of the [[SPARTAN-II]] and [[MJOLNIR]] projects, was offered a corner office in this tower when her projects flourished. Fortunately, she declined, as her office at [[CASTLE Base]] provided some isolation and peace from those who wanted to bother her.<ref name="CH"/> Eventually CASTLE Base proved to be her salvation as Olympic Tower and almost all of the surface of Reach was [[glassed]] by [[Covenant Empire|the Covenant]], but Dr. Halsey's office managed to stay intact and safe until her SPARTAN-IIs came, inside CASTLE Base. | |||
During the Fall of Reach, the Olympic Tower was the center of operations for the evacuation effort, but later came under attack after the Covenant zeroed its position. In the later stages of the evacuation, [[Colonel]] [[Urban Holland]] requested that all personnel be evacuated from the building immediately.<ref name="reach"/> | |||
There was a fallout bunker on sublevel two of the facility, where [[Noble Team]] headed after the Covenant began [[glassing]] the city. The tower also had a small retractable landing pad on the upper floors.<ref name="reach"/> | |||
