The '''factory''' is a [[Covenant]] structure featured in ''[[Halo Wars]]''. The factory is where the player can build [[Type-32 Ghost]]s, [[Type-25 Chopper]]s, [[Type-26 Wraith]]s and [[Type-30 Locust]]s. All the land-based vehicle upgrades are researched in the factory as well.<ref>[http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/Factory.aspx '''Halowars.com''' - ''Game Info'']</ref>
The '''factory''' is a deployable [[Covenant]] structure, typically as an extension on their [[Covenant citadel|occupation citadels]].{{Ref/Site|Id=hwsite|URL=http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/Factory.aspx|Site=Official Halo Wars Community Site|Page=Factory|D=17|M=10|Y=2010|LocalArchive=Archive:Halowars.com/Covenant#Factory}}


The Covenant are able to build the factory from the beginning of the game, without needing any upgrades on the [[Covenant citadel|Citadel]] first. The vehicles built here are prone to an air attack. Like the Covenant Hall and Summit, it costs 150 [[resources]] and requires no tech level.
==Overview==
In addition to being a warehouse, the factory is also manufactures ground-based vehicles in the Covenants arsenal, including {{Pattern|Karo'etba|Ghost}}s, [[Barukaza Workshop Chopper]]s, [[Type-25 Wraith|Wraiths]] and {{Pattern|Shua'ee|Locust}}s.{{Ref/Reuse|hwsite}} It serves as a counterpart to the [[UNSC Vehicle Depot|vehicle depot]] and [[Banished Foundry|foundry]] employed by the [[United Nations Space Command]] and [[Banished]], respectively.


The [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] equivalent is the [[UNSC Vehicle Depot|Vehicle Depot]].
