HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6, nicknamed the Hive,[1] is a United Nations Space Command military base and its formal headquarters located in Sydney, Australia. The building was roughly conical in structure, and on the outside, it was surrounded in security gates and other defenses; while on the inside the entrance way bore an atrium.[1]
HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6's underground section is reinforced with massive blast plating, anti-EMP armor and three kilometers of solid rock. The UNSC Security Council convenes here. One notable meeting was the debriefing of Lieutenant Wagner in front of the Security Council on the Fall of Reach.[2]
Although Sydney was devastated during the Battle of Earth, Bravo-6 itself remains untouched and continues to be the UNSC's headquarters in the post-war era.[3]
