'''Traxus Heavy Industries''' is an interplanetary [[human]] industrial company. It had facilities on the [[planet]]s of [[Earth]],{{Ref/Map|Id=lastres|Halo 3|[[Last Resort]]}} [[Reach]],{{Ref/Level|Id=exo|Halo: Reach|[[Exodus]]}} and [[Andesia]].{{Ref/Reuse|empire}}

Not much is known about '''Traxus''',<ref>[[Last Resort (Level)|Last Resort]]</ref> other than its name. It is a [[Human]] company probably based on [[Earth]]. There are several windows in [[Wind Power Station 7]] on [[Zanzibar Island]] with this word (possibly the name of an Earth company) written on them, with "09" written underneath in smaller lettering. In [[Halo 3]], Traxus has been seen on the cargo crates similar to the way [[COBB Industries]] was referenced on crates in [[Halo 2]]. Based on these appearances, it is probably some form of shipping or transport company or perhaps manufacturing. The word "Traxus" can also be seen at the beginning of the Halo 3: Keep it Clean trailer, in the city of New Mombassa, possibly confirming it is involved in shipping as New Mombassa is a busy port having proximity to the prominent orbital transport in the center of the city. As seen in multiplayer gaming, Avalanche, Blackout, Ghost Town, High Ground, Last Resort, and Rat's nest hold available props that have the word "Traxus" printed on them.
