'''Warrens''', designated '''Site Req//3490-1189''',<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/requiem '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Requiem'']</ref> is the UNSC codename for a location on the [[Forerunner]] [[Shield World]] of [[Requiem]]. It is a Forerunner structure built into a large cavern close to [[Apex]].

During the [[Requiem Campaign]] in [[2558|February 2558]], [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|reformed Covenant]] had created a small outpost in the "Warrens" with at least three {{Class|CRS|light cruiser}}s overhead guarding it. This facility acted as a central intel center for the Covenant. After [[First Raid on Control|recovering]] data from [[Control|another Covenant outpost]], the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} sent [[Fireteam Crimson]] to infiltrate the facility. Crimson managed to force their way into the facility, but were ambushed by a group of [[Promethean Knight]]s. The Spartans eliminated all hostiles in the area and hacked the intel center's computer. Crimson learned about a Covenant archaeological dig in progress and [[Cyclone|a Covenant supply depot]] very near Crimson's position. With this information, Fireteam Crimson were evacuated from the Warrens by Lieutenant [[TJ Murphy]]'s hijacked [[Type-44 Phantom|Phantom]].<ref>''[[Spartan Ops]]'', [[Scattered/Need To Know|S106 Need To Know]]</ref>

Later in the campaign, [[Fireteam Lancer]] discovered that the Covenant had resettled the "Warrens" and a new Covenant base had been created. Lancer and Crimson regrouped and attacked the base together. However, a shield wall blocked the Spartan's access to the Warrens and the generators powering the walls were camouflaged. After eliminating the [[Sangheili]] that was controlling the cloaked generators, they destroyed the now exposed shield generators, bringing the shield wall down. Crimson and Lancer made their way into the base and clear all the of Covenant forces around the base. The Spartans ventured into the caves of the Warrens, where they detect an SOS signal that is being broadcasted from inside the cave system. While searching the caves, the Spartans come across a [[Forerunner]] structure and they eliminate the Covenant and Promethean forces protecting it. Inside the structure, Crimson came across [[Fireteam Switchback]] - who had gone missing while trying to disrupt [[Harvester (location)|a Covenant excavation]] - trapped behind a shield wall. Crimson rescued Switchback and, after eliminating remaining hostiles, the three fireteams are picked up in a Pelican.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Expendable/Lancer|S108 Lancer]]</ref>

Unable to drop Crimson off at "[[Apex]]" due to heavy Covenant resistance, the fireteam was deployed at the Warrens where Spartan [[Jared Miller]] believed there was a path to Apex through the caves. As Crimson eliminated Covenant and Promethean forces throughout the Warrens, they began to experience tremors from Requiem breaking apart. Eventually, the Spartans made it to "Apex."<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Exodus (Spartan Ops)/In One Way|S1010 In One Way]]</ref> Later, Fireteam Crimson passed through the Warrens with a [[Type-56 Lich|Lich's]] engine core. The Spartans salvaged several vehicles along the way and eventually a Pelican picked them up.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Exodus (Spartan Ops)/Out the Other|S1010 Out the Other]]</ref>

The Warrens were eventually destroyed when Requiem was sent on a collision course with its [[Epoloch system|star]].<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Exodus (Spartan Ops)|S1010 Exodus]]</ref>
