The levels [[The Storm]] and [[Floodgate]] in the ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[campaign]] take place in Traxus Factory Complex 09. There are several windows in [[Wind Power Station 7]] on [[Zanzibar Island]] with this name 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. Traxus Heavy Industries has a few buildings in the city of [[New Mombasa]] and advertisements for this company are seen all over the city. [[The Rookie]] encounters many of these buildings and signs on his journey through the city. In addition, the company had a prominent industrial facility, [[Traxus Factory Complex 09]] in the town of [[Voi]].
