'''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 2500's, 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]], page 233/234</ref>

In [[2552]], during [[The Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]], the [[UNSC]] [[Marines]] set up a [[Firebase]] in [[Planetary Grid|Grid]] 13 x 24, [[Firebase Bravo]].
