- "Battle tested for your home."
- — A slogan from a Misriah Armory advertisement[1]
Misriah Armory is a major weapons, armor, and vehicle manufacturer based on the planet Mars in the city of Shoreline.[2] It supplies a significant portion of the weapons and matériel used by the United Nations Space Command,[3] and is considered the largest military weapons and equipment manufacturer in human history.[2]
History
Misriah Armory produced munitions and vehicles for the UNSC throughout the Insurrection and Human-Covenant War.
In 2556, Misriah Armory was one of many companies placed under "active investigation" by ONI after the Sedra terrorist attack.[4]
Products
Most of the UNSC's small arms and field equipment, as well as many terrestrial and aerospace vehicles, are produced by Misriah Armory. In addition to their own designs, Misriah manufactures technology created by other firms, most notably AMG Transport Dynamics' M12 Warthog. The company also sells combat-grade weapons (presumably demilitarized) on the civilian market.[1]
Facilities
Misriah had facilities spread out over much of human occupied space.[2] Some known facilities are:
| Planet | Location | Facility Name/Facility Role | Citation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mars | Shoreline, Eos Chasma | Headquarters | [2] |
| Reach | New Alexandria | Misriah Complex (Destroyed) | [7] |
| Erőd | Rajtom Facility (Destroyed) | [8] | |
| Earth | New Mombasa, EAP | [9] |
Trivia

Notes
- ^ A company advertisement seen in Halo 3: ODST indicates that Misriah Armory produces the M90A shotgun and even markets it as a civilian home-defense weapon. However, Halo: The Essential Visual Guide and Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary's Library clearly state that Weapon System Technologies designed the DTM series (including the M90) as a more economical copy of Misriah's M45 series. From this, one may infer that Weapon System Technologies is a subsidiary of Misriah Armory, that Misriah produces the M45 under license, or that Misriah bought the weapon's patent from WST.

The UEG riot troopers who arrived at the scene had been informed that the rioters were armed. As the UEG troopers approached the scene in their Randal Hover tank, plasma fire began spraying upwards. In a flash decision, the commander of the Hover tank ordered his crew to open fire upon the crowd. It took only five seconds for over five hundred starving Martians to be incinerated.
