'''Relic Interior''' is the third level in ''[[Halo Wars]]''. [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces on [[Harvest]] have entered the [[Forerunner]] [[Relic]]. Sergeant [[John Forge]], [[Ellen Anders|Professor Anders]], and their accompanying [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] are pinned down by [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] forces deep inside the Relic. Two [[M850 Grizzly|Grizzlies]] are sent down into the Relic to rescue the trapped forces.

==Summary==
==Summary==
In the [[Relic]], now under [[UNSC]] control, Professor [[Ellen Anders]] examines the central console against the protests of Sergeant [[John Forge]]. To their surprise, the console [[Reclaimer|reacts to her touch]] and activates, revealing a star map. Before they can examine the star map too closely, [[active camouflage|cloaked]] [[Covenant]] forces attack, determined to remove the humans from the holy relic. Pinned down, Forge calls for assistance from the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}.

With [[Alpha Base (Harvest)|Alpha Base]] under heavy Covenant attack again, it is unable to send backup. Instead, Captain [[James Cutter]] sends down two [[M850 Grizzly|Grizzly tanks]] from the ''Spirit of Fire'' itself to help out. The tanks fight through heavy Covenant forces inside of the Relic and rescue Anders, Forge and their trapped Marines. Andres is able to repair the damage to the tanks which help cover the retreat back outside to an LZ. The retreat is hampered by [[Unggoy]] destroying the controls to the bridge back across a chasm, but Anders manages to activate the other bridge while the tanks and Marines cover her.

Finally, the retreating UNSC forces reach the exit, but come under heavy attack from Covenant [[Mgalekgolo|Hunters]]. While the rest of the UNSC force plus other Marines who were already fighting outside remain behind to cover their retreat, Anders and Forge escape outside the structure where they are extracted by Pelican to the ''Spirit of Fire''.
