The Traxus Heavy Industries is a company most likely based on Earth. Not much is known about it,[1] other than its name.
Appearances
There are several windows in Wind Power Station 7 on Zanzibar Island with this name (possibly the name of an Earth company) written on them, with "09" written underneath in smaller lettering. In Halo 3, Traxus has been seen on the cargo crates similar to the way COBB Industries was referenced on crates in Halo 2. Based on these appearances, it is probably some form of shipping or transport company or perhaps manufacturing. The word "Traxus" can also be seen at the beginning of the Halo 3: Keep it Clean trailer, in the city of New Mombasa, possibly confirming it is involved in shipping as New Mombasa is a busy port having proximity to the prominent orbital transport in the center of the city.
As seen in multiplayer gaming, Avalanche, Blackout, Ghost Town, High Ground, The Pit, Last Resort, Rat's Nest and Floodgate hold available props that have the word "Traxus" printed on them.
Trivia
- Traxus Heavy Industries can also be found on tool boxes on the first level and on the maps High Ground, and the Pit.
- Part of Halo 3's campaign takes place in Traxus Factory Complex 09.
- This could be a reference to Traxus IV, an AI that went rampant in the Marathon series.
- The word TRAXUS appears on a building in the teaser trailer for Halo 3: ODST, and the logo appears on some buildings in the game its self.
