This article is about the base. For multiplayer map, see Sword Base (level).
The main atrium of the base.

Sword Base was an Office of Naval Intelligence facility located near the Babd Catha Ice Shelf on the Human colony of Reach [1].

The base was located in the Babd Catha Ice Shelf, and a military airfield was located just outside the main complex. The base's interior consisted of a long and tall main atrium, with smaller rooms, walkways and staircases on its both sides. The atrium had a ceiling of glass running along its length, which also extended down the wall on the other end of the atrium. Two specimens of Covenant technology recovered during Operation: GUARDIAN LANCE were on display in the main atrium.[2]

At some point during the Fall of Reach in August 2552, Sword Base became the target of a Covenant attack. As the facility became compromised, "Condition Alpha" was declared and the base was defended by Noble Team and the UNSC Army.
