The control room for [[Installation 09]] is different from that of its predecessors, both in design and location. It now lies below the surface of the installation, and can be accessed by descending from a circular aboveground structure. The control room also features an energy shield for protection. Instead of placed at the corner of a cliff, it appears to be on a large landmass.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Last Stand (Halo Wars 2 level|Last Stand]]''</ref> | The control room for [[Installation 09]] is different from that of its predecessors, both in design and location.
