The citadel is a basic command structure with defenses such as [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraiths]], [[Type-32 Ghost|Ghosts]], and [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]], and can also be defended by base turrets. It also has a similar underground garage to the UNSC's Firebase. These provide field command facilities for invading or defending Covenant Armies. Much like its [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] equivalent, it possesses seven expansion "sockets" for more structures for research, unit production and defense. | The citadel is a basic command structure with defenses such as [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraiths]], [[Type-32 Ghost|Ghosts]], and [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]], and can also be defended by base turrets.

The citadel does not appear to have any physical openings for which to enter or exit the base - troops simply use teleporters to enter and exit the base. When threatened, the base can lock down, which will establish a shield around the teleporter into the base to prevent unauthorised entry or exit into or out of the base. | ||
