Research Facility Alpha was a research lab on X50.[1]
History
The facility was constructed at the base of an ancient Forerunner structure recently discovered by the UNSC. When it became clear the Covenant were heading for the Forerunner structure, UNSC command feared Alpha facility would be crushed. Sometime between 2553 and 2557 the facility was attacked by the Covenant remnant. Sarah Palmer, with a Marine detachment, infiltrated the Covenant artillery positions and destroyed them. Edward Davis noticed the Covenant's heavy reliance on drop ship insertion. Spartan Davis realized they would be vulnerable to focused anti-aircraft fire, so, using M9 Main Anti-Aircraft Tanks, he began establishing air defenses west of the facility at a location designated Glacial Perch.[2]
