| | The '''reactor''' is a [[United Nations Space Command]] structure used to power a prefabricated [[Firebase]] unit. It appears in ''[[Halo Wars]]''. |
|

|
| ==Overview== | | ==Overview== |
| ===Design details===
| | The prefabricated structure contains a [[fusion reactor]] powered by reactions between [[hydrogen]] isotopes. The reactor allows a UNSC firebase to operate very sophisticated systems. These reactors are modular allowing for quick setup. In order to meet a firebase's power requirements, the reactor has the ability to place an additional power unit on the other socket present on the base of the structure. |

| Prefabricated firebases contain a [[fusion reactor]] powered by reactions between [[hydrogen]] isotopes. The reactor allows a UNSC Firebase to operate very sophisticated systems. These reactors are modular allowing for quick setup. In order to meet a firebase's power requirements, an additional power unit can be placed on the other socket present on the base of the structure, thus upgrading the structure to an '''Advanced Reactor'''.{{Ref/Reuse|hwsite}} These reactors are only employed on older "[[Firebase#"Pod" Firebase|Pod]]" firebases, as more modern firebase designs are capable of only relying on [[UNSC Generator|generators]] to meet their power requirements.{{Ref/Game|Id=PL|HW2|Phoenix_Logs#UNSC_Buildings|Phoenix Logs|Detail=[[UNSC Generator|Generator]]}}

|
| ===Usage===
| | UNSC reactors are usually an attack target in enemy raids. |
| Several standalone reactors were employed by the [[Arcadia ONI facility]]. During the [[Battle for Arcadia]], these reactors were co-opted by forces of the [[UNSC Spirit of Fire|UNSC ''Spirit of Fire'']] to siphon additional power.{{Ref/Level|HW|Arcadia Outskirts}}{{Ref/Level|HW|Dome of Light}}
| |
|
| |
|
| In [[2558]], a reactor was made the target of an attack by [[Covenant remnants]]. During the attack, the remnants were able to hijack an [[M510 Mammoth]] and set it on a collision course with the facility, though the vehicle was stopped by [[Blue Team]] before it could destroy the reactor.{{Ref/Comic|TFS|Story=On the Brink}} | | ==Function== |
| | In game, reactors increase the technological (amount of energy units) level of the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]], which allows them to field heavier and more advanced units. For each unit, building and upgrade of the UNSC, a certain number of energy units is required to make use of it. Typically the most advanced of units/upgrades require more energy units than less advanced ones. Each reactor constantly provides at least one energy unit, and will continue to do so until destroyed. With 1200 resource units, a default reactor can be upgraded to an advanced reactor, which provides the an output of power equal to two default reactors, or two tech units. Reactors provide the output needed to fulfill the UNSC's needs. |

| {{Quote|UNSC Reactors provide the energy needed to access the advanced buildings, units and technology upgrades.|In-game description}}
| |
| In ''[[Halo Wars]]'', the first Reactor costs {{HWResources|250}} to be built; each subsequent Reactor costs an additional {{HWResources|250}} than the previous reactor. Reactors increase the {{HWTech|Tech Level}} of the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]], which allows them to field heavier and more advanced units. For each unit, building and upgrade of the UNSC, a certain technology level is required to make use of it. Typically the most advanced of units/upgrades require more energy units than less advanced ones. Each reactor constantly provides at least {{HWTech|1}}, and will continue to do so until destroyed. With {{HWResources|1,200}}, a default reactor can be upgraded to an advanced reactor, which provides an output of power equal to two default reactors, or {{HWTech|2}}.

|
| Reactors have been replaced by [[UNSC Generator|Generators]] in ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'' to accommodate an adjusted power gameplay mechanic.
| | Basic reactor: 250 resources, each additional unit bought costs 250 more than the previous amount."Increases tech level." |
