It is a [[Human]] company probably based on [[Earth]]. There are several windows in [[Wind Power Station 7]] on [[Zanzibar Island]] with this name (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 Mombasa]], possibly confirming it is involved in shipping as New Mombasa is a busy port having proximity to the prominent orbital transport in the center of the city.
