The '''Quarry''' is a location on the [[Forerunner]] [[Shield World]] of [[Requiem]], the site of many confrontations between the [[United Nations Space Command]] and the [[Covenant remnant]].

After entering Requiem, the Covenant took over this location and blocked the end of the canyon with a shield supported by three generators. The [[UNSC Infinity]] deployed a [[Mobile Anti-Aircraft Weapons Platform M510 Siegework/Ultra-Heavy|Mammoth]] staffed with [[Thomas Lasky|Commander Lasky]], [[John-117]], [[UNSC Marines]] and [[SPARTAN-IV Program|Spartan-IVs]] to disable a [[Gravity Well]] and destroy the [[Particle cannon]]s protecting it. The Mammoth reached the Quarry and John-177 took down the generators and killed Covenant forces. Moving through the canyon, John-117 used a [[Target Locator]] to enable the Mammoth to destroy another cannon. However Covenant forces led by a [[Deployment Platform Type-56 Ground Support/Ultra Heavy|Lich]] supplanted by [[Type-44 Troop Carrier|Phantoms]] attacked the Mammoth. John-117 and the Spartan-IVs fought off the Covenant, with John-117 destroying the Lich. However, John-117 had to progress through the rest of the region without the Mammoth's support.<ref name="Reclaimer">'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Reclaimer (level)|Reclaimer]]''</ref>

Covenant forces reclaimed the Quarry, and several months later [[Fireteam Crimson]] was deployed to the location to defeat groups of Covenant foes and disable more Covenant power cores. Crimson cleared the area of Covenant engaging [[Type-26 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraiths]] and [[Type-32 Rapid Attack Vehicle|Ghosts]], and destroyed the power cores. [[Robert Dalton]]'s [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] then picked up Crimson.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''',  [[S1/Departure|S1E1 ''Departure'']]</ref> Covenant re-took the posistion led by [[Parg Vol]]. Crimson was again deployed to neutralize Vol and defeat the Covenant. While successful in beating back squads of Covenant, Vol escaped and Crimson failed to complete its objective.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Catherine|S1E3 ''Catherine'']]</ref> Later, [[Roland (AI)|Roland]] and [[Jared Miller|Miller]] tracked [[Gabriel Thorne]]'s energy signature to this area after he was captured by [[Sangheili Storm]]. The area was once-again full of Covenant forces, and Crimson was sent in to look for Thorne. Although clearing the Quarry, Thorne was nowhere to be found. As Dalton's Pelican came to extract Crimson it was destroyed. Phantoms and [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]] then converged on Crimson's position.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Memento Mori|S1E5 ''Memento Mori'']]</ref>

In [[Spartan Ops]] the Quarry's ends are blocked off as opposed to the open sides seen in the [[Campaign]] level [[Reclaimer (level)|Reclaimer]]. This is likely for gameplay purposes.
