"FOB Alpha is clear of hostiles. Time to claim it for the UNSC."
— The Weapon to John-117 after the Spartan eliminated the Banished troops at the FOB.

FOB Alpha is a UNSC Forward Operating Base (FOB) on the fragment sections of Installation 07 during the Installation 07 conflict.[1]


Operational history

Following the Banished's ambush on the UNSC Infinity upon its arrival at Installation 07 on December 12, 2559, UNSC forces made landfall on the ring.[2] While many survivors at the fragmented section of the ring gathered at the wreckage of the Mulsanne-class frigate UNSC Mortal Reverie as a base of operations,[3] they also established Forward Operating Bases in nearby locations.[4] FOB Alpha was located south of the Reverie, with the Banished outpost Armory of Reckoning located to its east.[1]

By March 3, 2560, FOB Alpha was in Banished control,[4] with the Banished adding their own equipment and troops around the FOB.[1] The FOB was also connected to the Banished battle network protocol,[5] tracking nearby UNSC and Banished activity.[6] At some point after Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 was retrieved by Fernando Esparza onboard Echo 216 on May 28,[7] the Spartan eliminated the Banished forces at the FOB and deployed his artificial intelligence known as the Weapon at the FOB's terminal.[1] The Weapon removed the FOB from the Banished network, returning it to UNSC control,[6] and marked the nearby locations of interest on John-117's TACMAP.[1]


Gameplay

"FOB Secured! Nice work, Chief! We are just a stone's throw away from Outpost Tremonius, just above where we met. Do you remember what it was like, before you found me? I was on my own for so long, just waiting for you. Feels like a lifetime ago."
— The Weapon to John-117 after capturing the FOB.

FOB Alpha becomes available in the "Connections" section of the Halo Infinite campaign.
