| A '''Station''', also known as '''command center'''<ref name = "09 Cam">[http://www.g4tv.com/ces2009/hdvideos/36151/Halo-Wars-CES-09-Cam-Footage.html Halo Wars CES 09 Cam Footage]. ''G4''. Accessed on 2009-01-20</ref> or '''firebase'''<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''</ref> is an encampment set up by [[Marines]] in combat zones or other locations that are otherwise hostile.

| ==Overview==
| |
| [[Image: UNSC Firebase2.jpg|thumb|Station render]]
| |
| The Station combines the needs of a tactical communications command center and expansion into both a barracks and a production facility capable of assembling combat vehicles. The Station itself is a variant of the old [[colony starter]] units constructed out of [[polycrete]] and powered by a small hydrogen reactor. Because gaining a foothold quickly was key to fighting insurrections throughout the colonies, ships can directly deploy the entire assembly unit of a Station, making it immediately useful. This ability proved invaluable in the ongoing war with the [[Covenant]] and was often considered a key advantage of the UNSC on the ground.<ref name = "Firebase"/>
| |
| | |
| In addition, Stations are capable of producing unarmed [[Warthog|Warthogs]], their lack of armament giving them extra speed.<ref name = "Firebase"/>
| |
| | |
| Stations were used to great effect at the [[Second Battle of Harvest]] and were also used at the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]], the [[Battle of Reach]], and the [[Battle of Installation 04]].
| |
| | |
| Beneath the Firebase there is a large underground garage in which resources and vehicle parts dropped down the from the Spirit of Fire may be stored. Also, all firebase additions such as [[UNSC Reactor|Reactors]] or [[Supply Pad|Supply Pads]] emerge up from this subterranean area, pre-built and fully constructed.
