- "UNSC Reactors provide the energy needed to access the advanced buildings, units and technology upgrades."
- — In-game description[1]
The reactor is a United Nations Space Command structure used to power a prefabricated Firebase unit. It appears in Halo Wars.
Overview
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.
UNSC reactors are usually an attack target in enemy raids.
Function
In game, reactors increase the technological (amount of energy units) level of the 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.
Upgrades
Basic reactor: 250 resources, each additional unit bought costs 250 more than the previous amount."Increases tech level."
Advanced reactor: 1,200 resources.
Trivia
- When even slightly damaged from enemy fire, reactors can be seen venting a blue substance.
- Reactors can be found abandoned throughout the Halo Wars campaign and skirmish maps. Those in campaign are empty while those found in skirmish maps are guarded by hostile units.
List of appearances
- Halo Wars: Genesis (First appearance)
