The Quarry is a location on the Forerunner Shield World of Requiem, the site of many confrontations between the United Nations Space Command and the Covenant Remnant.

History

After entering Requiem, the Covenant took over this location and blocked the end of the canyon with a shield supported by three generators. The UNSC Infinity deployed a Mammoth staffed with Commander Lasky, John-117, UNSC Marines and Spartan-IVs to duisable a Gravity Well and destroy the Particle Cannons protecting it. The Mammoth reached the Quarry and John-177 took down the generators and killed Covenant forces. Moving through the canyon, John-117 used a Target Locator to enable the Mammoth to destroy another cannon. However Covenant forces led by a Lich supplanted by Phantoms attacked the Mammoth. John-117 and the Spartan-IVs fought off the Covenant, with John-117 destroying the Lich. However, John-117 had to progress through the rest of the region without the Mammoth's support.

Covenant forces reclaimed the Quarry, and several months later Fireteam Crimson was deployed to the location to defeat groups of Covenant foes and disable more Covenant power cores. Crimson cleared the area of Covenant engaging Wraiths and Ghosts, and destroyed the power cores. Robert Dalton's Pelican then picked up Crimson.
