Editing Sigma Octanus IV/Grid 13 x 24

{{era|HCW}}
'''Grid Thirteen by Twenty-Four''', on the planet [[Sigma Octanus IV]], is a [[Planetary Grid]]-designated location deep in the jungle on the planet, just outside the outskirts of the capital, [[Côte d'Azur]]. Though covered by dense foliage, it was also home to a river and several rocky embankments, which served well to conceal bases.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''pages 165-166''</ref>

==History==
In the early 2500s, a meteor crashed in this Grid. Unbeknownst to the [[human]] colonists, the meteor contained [[Forerunner]] artifacts. The colonists took some of the artifacts from the meteor, and put them in the [[Côte d'Azur Museum of Natural History]].<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''pages 233-234''</ref>

===[[Human-Covenant War]]===
In [[2552]], during the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]], the [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]] set up a [[military base|firebase]] in Grid 13 x 24, [[Firebase Bravo]]. They hoped the embankments would hide the base. Unfortunately, they were wrong. The [[Covenant]] ambushed the base and destroyed it, slaughtering most of the Marines when a force of [[Unggoy]], [[Kig-Yar]], and [[Mgalekgolo]] overwhelmed the group.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''pages 164-169''</ref> A lucky band of survivors, led by [[Corporal]] [[Harland]], managed to make it all the way to [[Alpha Headquarters|Alpha HQ]], where they were relieved by the [[Spartans]] who managed to drive the Covenant away.
