Phoenix Logs/UNSC Buildings/Turret

The following is a verbatim transcription of an official document for archival reasons. As the original content is transcribed word-for-word, any possible discrepancies and/or errors are included.

Defense emplacements.

Automated weapon towers are installed around UNSC firebases to deter

attack. Most firebase facilities have power and control hookups prearranged for

up to four Turrets. Turrets can engage a variety of targets, but each can be

upgraded to specialize against one particular threat: aircraft. vehicle, or infantry.

The base towers used by the Spirit of Fire are relics of a defensive-in-depth

tactical doctrine the UNSC was eventually forced to abandon as the Covenant

War ground down Humanity's armies and industrial centers. Turrets are still

invaluable tools for the field commander's arsenal on the Ark, however, freeing

up troops and vehicles needed to find. fix, and destroy the Banished.
