This '''gas mine''' was a large structure suspended in the atmosphere of the gas giant [[Threshold]], the planet around which [[Installation 04]] orbited. It was an expansive automated facility that was created and used by the [[Forerunner]]s and later, the [[Sesa 'Refumee's heretic faction]]. It was destroyed when it fell into Threshold and was crushed by the planet's gravity.<ref name="oracle">'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[The Oracle]]''</ref> It was one of many similar facilities on Threshold.<ref name="art">'''[[The Art of Halo]]'''</ref>

Hanging from a larger installation higher in the atmosphere, the mine was shaped somewhat like a grappling hook, with one center shaft and many legs bending down, and inwards it has three tubes extracting gas from Threshold. The station was divided into five modules: two gas refinement arms, each with its own cargo hangar, two laboratory modules for the research of [[the Flood]], and the final module was the control section of the mine. Each of these modules could be accessed by catwalks or landing sites.
