Phoenix Logs/Forerunner/Forerunner Power Node

Power resource point

The Forerunners built the Ark to be completely self-sustaining, and much of its

power lies in the vast subterranean web of power structures beneath its

surface. These external power nodes were designed to provide auxiliary power

during repairs or emergencies, giving those in control of them a steady flow of

power resources.

On this remote installation, light years from any support, both the UNSC and

the Banished have realized the strategic importance of Forerunner power

nodes. Eschewing the Covenant's reverence for Forerunner artifacts, Atriox has

no compunction of taking control of them for his own ends, and many a battle

involves a desperate scramble to capture power nodes before the enemy can.
