Penance is a multiplayer map included in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary and the Anniversary Map Pack for Halo Reach.[1] It is a remake of Damnation from Halo: Combat Evolved with several alterations to map layout.[1]
Universe and lore[edit]
The map is set in a massive Covenant hydro-processing center on Buwan, the primary satellite of the Unggoy homeworld Balaho.[4] The moon provides resources necessary to power and refuel a variety of capital ships. During the breaking of the Covenant Empire, the facility was left abandoned but is still operational via automated subsystems.[4]
