Christian Ramsey was a human smuggler and contraband specialist.''Halo: Nightfall'', Halo: Nightfall Second Stories|Second Story, Halo: Nightfall: Outbound Cargo - Part 1|Outbound Cargo - Part 1
Biography Christian Ramsey was a well-known criminal with several crimes to his name, including smuggling, trespassing and digital currency duplication.
In early 2556, he was contracted by an unknown entity seeking to acquire a null state stasis container, which it intended to use to carry out the terrorist attack on Sedra City later that year. As Ramsey pointed out, most such containers are United Nations Space Command|UNSC property and are limited in number. He ultimately agreed to secure a small box, 10 cubic metres in size, for the client.
Eventually, Christian obtained the container and had sent it on its way to Sedra, along with a map of the sewer and substrate tunnels. He commented that his client had nothing to worry about when collecting the container, claiming that the UNSC had no significant presence on the planet and the Sedran Colonial Guard|Sedran security was a joke. Unbeknownst to Ramsey, his communications were being tracked by Codename: FIXER, an Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI operative.''Halo: Nightfall'', Second Story, Halo: Nightfall: Outbound Cargo - Part 2|Outbound Cargo - Part 2
The map was later found in possession of the smuggler Axl, who brought the biological weapon to Sedra.''Halo: Nightfall'', Second Story, Halo: Nightfall: The Path of Belief|The Path of Belief

The ''Chwich''-pattern Sky Striker, known colloquially as the Saker, is an automated artillery emplacement employed by the Sangheili prior to the War of Beginnings. Manufactured by local forges on Hesduros, they were re-entered into service with Jul 'Mdama's Covenant during the Blooding Years.
Overview
The ''Chwich'' is a Hesduros-designed weapon emplacement, consisting of a heavy plasma cannon mounted atop a small base. The emplacement is served by a remote-link, allowing an operator to target and aim the weapon from afar.
The original Sakers were employed by the Sangheili in their earlier eras of spaceflight, prior to the founding of the Covenant. Following the empire's dissolution, many found their way into the hands of Jul 'Mdama's revived Covenant alongside the similar . These renewed models were manufactured by local war forges, or stripped from older war-hulks. It is unclear if the ''Chwich''-pattern Saker is related to the Fusion saker|''Shumnku''-pattern fusion saker employed on the - a vestige warship similarly employed by the Sangheili in ancient times.
In-game information
The Saker was never officially seen in the original Xbox 360 release of ''Halo 4''. Following the update to the game's Forge/Halo 4|Forge mode in Series 4: Reclaimer for ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'', the Saker was added to the maps Forge Island, Ravine, Impact and Erosion as a placeable (and destroyable) static prop.

Chyler Silva was an officer cadet of the United Nations Space Command armed forces. She attended Corbulo Academy of Military Science during the early years of the Human-Covenant War as part of the class of 2529.
Biography
Chyler Silva grew up on Cygnus. Chyler and her family later moved to Mamore, a colony world where violence between Insurrectionists and UNSC supporters was a common occurrence.Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn: Squad As a result, even civilians like herself were forced to learn how to protect themselves from a young age. For example, Chyler's mother taught her how to hold a rifle when she was ten years of age. In preparation for emergencies, her father would often race Chyler and her brother Grayson Silva|Grayson to a local bomb shelter and he would allow them to stay up half an hour past bedtime if they beat him. Her cousin's school became the target of a rebel bombing when she was around ten years of age, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of children. Both of her parents were UNSC military and eventually died in battle against rebels.Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, ''part 2''
Developing a strong personal sense of duty to the UNSC, Silva intended to become a soldier like her parents and she attended Corbulo Academy as a freshman cadet of the class of 2529. Assigned to Hastati Squad under the leadership of Senior Cadet April Orenski, she took her education with particular enthusiasm, scoring top marks in training exercises. Although most other members of Hastati Squad berated Thomas Lasky for his poor performance in combat exercises and not taking his training seriously, Silva continuously attempted to encourage him to become a better soldier. As a result of her background, she was not convinced by Lasky's pacifism, maintaining that military action by the UNSC was the only way to end the war. Silva's efforts eventually paid off, with Lasky volunteering to lead the squad during a Capture the Flag exercise and devising an ingenious tactical maneuver which allowed Hastati Squad to catch Zuma Squad completely by surprise. While Hastati Squad was victorious, with Silva playing a major part in the assault on the opposing team's flag, Lasky passed out before the exercise was over.
Concerned for Lasky's condition, Silva later came to check on him. After a brief conversation between the two, Cadet Michael Sullivan called them over to view a classified recording displaying UNSC troops joining forces with insurrectionists to fight Covenant|unknown hostiles. Silva was greatly bewildered by this revelation and she later retreated outside the academy to ponder on its implications. While there, she was joined by Thomas, who revealed that he had been offered the choice to be discharged from the academy on medical grounds. Visibly distraught, Silva told Lasky that she would miss him if he chose to leave and the two shared a kiss.
File:H4 FUD Silva with Carbine.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Silva using a Type-51 Carbine|Covenant Carbine.
When the Covenant invaded Corbulo Academy, Hastati Squad was to be evacuated via the Academy's space elevator. However, after the Covenant's destruction of the tether, the squad was caught in the battle between UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marines and Covenant military|Covenant forces. The squad attempted to escape to the Academy's armory, which resulted in the deaths of cadets Junjie Chen and Walter Vickers at the hands of an active camouflaged Sangheili Zealot. However, the Zealot was killed by SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN Master Chief Petty Officer John-117. John, who had arrived with SPARTAN-II Blue Team to assist in the evacuation of Corbulo Academy, revealed that the surviving members of Hastati Squad - Silva, Lasky, Orenski and Sullivan - were only surviving humans left on the entire planet.
As the Spartan led them to an evacuation point, Silva began to break down under the stress of combat. However, when the Master Chief asked who in the squad was the best marksman, Lasky recommended Silva. John-117 escorted them outside and ordered Silva and Orenski to cover Lasky as he commandeered Black|General Black's M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle|Warthog to allow them to escape to the extraction zone. During the engagement, Silva ran out of ammunition and had to make use of a discarded Covenant Type-51 Carbine, and proved to be quite proficient with the weapon.Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, ''part 4''
Death File:Chyler needle.jpg|thumb|250px|The needle embedded in Silva's stomach.
During the squad's escape from the Academy in Black's Warthog, Silva provided cover fire for the rest of the squad from the Warthog's side seat. Using short controlled bursts from her assault rifle, she killed two Kig-Yar. However, just as the Warthog had cleared the combat zone, they crashed into a lone Kig-Yar and were forced to stop. It was during this lull in the fighting that Silva realized she'd been hit in the stomach by a Needler shard (possibly when the vehicle crashed into the Kig-Yar, causing it to randomly discharge its Needler). The other cadets carried Silva to a small UNSC field depot in the forest while the Chief remained behind to fight a Mgalekgolo|Hunter. Having spent the last of their biofoam on Sullivan's injury, they attempted to numb Silva's pain with the contents of a tactical training round; however, this proved ineffective. Before dying, she removed her dog tags and gave them to Lasky, before reassuring and apologizing to him. Lasky stayed beside her until another Hunter approached and the squad was forced to leave her corpse behind. Distraught over her death, Lasky volunteered to bait the Hunter, allowing the Chief to kill the creature. Lasky was strongly affected by her death and kept her dog tags with him for over thirty years afterwards.Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, ''part 5''
Personality and traits File:FUD - SilvaBrowse.jpg|250px|thumb|Silva reading news articles on her comm terminal. A resolute and highly competent cadet, Chyler Silva maintained a modest, collected outlook and took a serious approach to her training. Both her upbringing and her firsthand experience of the harsh reality of the Insurrection had led her to becoming wholly loyal to the UNSC, whilst despising the Insurrectionists, who she maintained were the ones responsible for the ongoing violence and forced the UNSC to fight a war many considered morally questionable. Driven largely by the will to protect innocents, she considered the UNSC as the only hope for bringing peace; she stated that ''"It's not the kind of war that we should be fighting, but it's the kind of war they're forcing us to fight now."'' Frequent news reports of Insurrectionist attacks and the school's ubiquitous UNSC propaganda only served to further solidify her views.
In spite of having grown accustomed to constant violence since her childhood and having suffered tragedy on a very personal level, she appeared to be remarkably well-adjusted and was content with her military lifestyle. Suffering loss did not cause her to despair or lose her optimism in the UNSC's ability to bring an end to the violence; instead, it apparently served to further galvanize her resolve. Her reaction was largely opposite to that of Thomas Lasky losing Cadmon Lasky|his brother, which drove him to hopelessness and caused him to adopt a negative view of the UNSC whilst dwelling on his brother's death by replaying video comms surrounding the event. Upon viewing some of the videos, Silva expressed puzzlement as to why he kept "tormenting" himself with the incident.
File:FUD - Chyler&Tom 2.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Silva and Lasky moments before the Covenant invasion. The legacy of her parents and her own commitment to the UNSC served as the basis for her motivation for being at Corbulo; she saw a career in the military as a natural choice for herself and fully embraced her education. She was active during lectures and her performance in training was exemplary; she was a proficient marksman and achieved record times among her squad in drills. This placed her in the favor of her superiors, including Hastati Squad leader April Orenski and the school's superintendent, Black|General Black. Although she considered the academy's physical training demanding, she took pride in enduring the difficulty of it, stating that nothing less would make the end result something to be proud of. She typically remained calm under stress and even though she suffered from momentary shell-shock upon the chaotic situation of the Covenant attack on Corbulo Academy, she retained her proficiency and focus in combat during the following battle.
Despite her deeply-rooted belief in the UNSC's cause and her antipathy for the Insurrectionists, Silva denied that this was due to inherent aggression and maintained that her approach to soldiering was strictly professional. She remained friendly to fellow cadet Thomas Lasky despite his somewhat sympathetic view of the rebels and vocal condemnation of some of the UNSC's practices. The two had frequent conversations on the subject, with Silva continuously making an effort to have Lasky realize the importance of their training. Silva's and Lasky's dorm rooms at the academy were adjacent to one another; at night, they would often exchange knocks on the wall separating their beds. Despite their clashing views, Silva and Lasky grew fond of one another and their friendship turned into romance.
Production notes Silva is portrayed by English actress Wikipedia:Anna Popplewell|Anna Popplewell in ''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn''. Popplewell stated that she had virtually no prior knowledge of ''Halo'' and had little experience with video games in general before the project. In preparation for her role, she studied existing ''Halo'' fiction, in particular the Halo novels|novels ''Halo: Contact Harvest'' and ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' due to their setting in the same time period as ''Forward Unto Dawn''.

The Cindershot is a hardlight grenade launcher designed and created for use by the Forerunners.
Overview
The Cindershot fires ionized particle grenades consisting of "hyper-charged splinter cores", which explode seconds after launching, damaging anything caught in its explosion. When fired while the optics are engaged, the weapon is able to guide the projectile with its aim, allowing the operator to manually guide the projectile onto a target.
When reloading, the front of the Cindershot is pulled back, allowing more hard-light grenades to move to the front of the barrel, before it snaps back to its original position.
Backdraft Cindershot: A white-painted Cindershot variant which employs a modified firing core with three-phase sequential detonation. It deals significantly more damage per shot than its standard counterpart. Carried by Myriad during the Battle for Zeta Halo, though it's unknown how the Mgalekgolo pair used it in combat.

The Cindershot is a hardlight grenade launcher that serves a similar role to that of the , but its explosion pulls in targets in close proximity. The projectile must ricochet from a surface once before detonating at the next point of impact. The Cindershot has an alt-fire mode that allows the projectile to follow the wielder's direction. The projectiles are capable of killing a Spartan in two direct explosions.

CIO-class Mjolnir (Counter Intelligence Operator) is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN2] manufactured by Acheron Security.
Overview
The CIO helmet has a tricloptically fixed multi-spectral imaging array, also known as a transponder array. The neural interface bypasses in the CIO helmet allow the wearer to create custom synesthesis profiles to remap the suit sensors with their own senses. The suit also has a galvanized sensory suite that rivals nearly all other similar service packages.
The chest has a modular sensory suite, and a silhouette dampener for motion sensor circumvention.
After seeing the need for highly trained, heavily armored personnel to be deployed deep into enemy-controlled territory, Acheron Security developed and manufactured the CIO-class armor, with its main focus on espionage rather than lethality. The armor was tested at the Acheron Trauma Sim, and was designed to operate in the Martian territory of Acheron Fossae.
Though rarely seen, it is utilized by a handful of SPARTAN-IVs and Counter-Intelligence Operators for intel acquisition and strategic data conveyance deep within enemy territory, often those who endure tier-nine theaters.
Several CIO-armored Spartans were deployed to Terceira, where they captured and transmitted information crucial to the recovery of the colony from Insurrectionist forces.
CIO is also used during information denial missions, hunting down enemy scouts and preventing them from acquiring data of tactical or strategic importance.
In-game information
CIO was first introduced into the ''Halo'' games as an Armor customization (Halo 4)|armor set in ''Halo 4''. The armor has three available skins; Web (WEB), Ruin (RUIN) and Rush (RUSH).

Circinius IV was a Unified Earth Government Outer Colonies|Outer human colony|colony world in the Circinius system. The planet was orbited by at least three natural satellites. It was the location of the Corbulo Academy of Military Science, an Officer Candidate School|officer training school for the offspring of high-ranking UNSC officials.Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, ''Part 1'' The space elevator located at Corbulo Academy was considered one of the planet's most spectacular sites.
Overview
Circinius IV features dense forests and mountains as well as large bodies of water. Locations Corbulo Academy of Military Science
History
After the First Battle of Harvest|first engagements on Harvest, ONI Section Two|ONI Section II kept the Covenant invasion secret from the general population. However, Corbulo Academy's superintendent, General Daniel Black, was informed. As preparation for a possible attack, Black discreetly increased the readiness of the UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marine garrison posted in the academy and authorized limited communications blackouts under the guise of routine maintenance procedures.
The colony and the academy were Battle of Circinius IV|attacked by the Covenant during the earliest days of the Human-Covenant War on 2526|April 26, 2526. Orbiting UNSC vessels soon deployed Orbital Drop Shock Troopers directly onto Corbulo Academy's campus. The planet's space elevator was also destroyed, killing many of the escaping cadets as it fell.Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, ''Episode 3'' During the battle, the Covenant killed almost the entire population of the planet. Only Hastati Squad|four cadets from Corbulo Academy survived the initial assault,Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, ''Episode 4'' although one of them, Chyler Silva, died during the battle. Later, the planet was Glassing|glassed by the Covenant.Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, ''Episode 5''
At some point following the planet's invasion, the UNSC launched Operation: ABLE SENTRY on Circinius IV to investigate Covenant activity on the planet. Edward Buck participated in this operation. Directly afterwards, Operation: PHALANX was initiated and carried out by UNSC personnel, including John-117, to rescue civilians on Circinius IV and to investigate Covenant invasion patterns.
Production notes Along with Hat Yai, Circinius IV is not mentioned in the The Assembly|Assembly's report on glassed worlds (dated 2530|January 1, 2530) in Data pads#Data pad 14|data pad 14 from ''Halo: Reach''. From a real-world perspective, the obvious explanation is that the planet was created after the game's release, there is no clear in-universe reason for this omission. However, given that both worlds had some form of human population on their surface following their presumed glassing dates, it is possible that both Circinius IV and Hat Yai were not entirely glassed by the Covenant.

File:Halo-wars-campaign-demo.jpg|thumb|The Circle Menu in ''Halo Wars'' gameplay.
The circle menu is a control system featured in ''Halo Wars''.http://forums.halowars.com/forums/1/91352/ShowThread.aspx#91352 It is used almost for everything such as constructing units, vehicles and buildings. The player can navigate through the circle menu via the Analog stick, to select whatever they so choose.Halo Wars
It was designed by the Ensemble Studios in order to solve the problem of cumbersome RTS controls on the console. On PC, the player has the ability to use mouse and keyboard at the same time, which makes multitasking easy (it also allows for a great deal of keyboard combinations, which improves the ability to control the interface and the field of battle). The Ensemble studios solved the problem by creating a fast and easy to control mechanism, the circle menu. The menu can contain up to 8 "articles", with units being on the right side and upgrades for them on the other. Additional information (such as cost, name) is displayed in the middle of the circle, with general information on the unit or upgrade currently chosen on the far right beyond the menu itself.
The circle menu is very innovative and truly enriched the RTS genre on the consoles and proved that RTS games can be easily and fluently controlled, even if we only use the controller.

Cirilo was a human crime scene analyst of the Gao Ministry of Protection, serving under Special inspector|Special Inspector Veta Lopis.
Biography When murders in the Montero Cave System coincided with the deployment of the United Nations Space Command's 717th Xeno-Materials Exploitation Battalion on Gao, the Gao Ministry of Protection launched a joint-investigation with the UNSC to identify the murder. Special inspector|Special Inspector Veta Lopis and her team, including Cirilo, was dispatched to the caves to examine crime scenes for clues along with the UNSC.
On 2553#July|July 2, 2553, Lopis had Cirilo use trace evidence bots to examine the latest crime scene. After new victims of the murderer were discovered, Major Ira Halal and Private Hayes left the others so that the major could personally inspect the crime scene before those of the GMoP. When Lopis discovered Halal's intent, she and Cirilo accompanied Frederic-104, Ash-G099, Olivia-G291, and Mark-G313 to search for Halal and Hayes.Halo: Last Light, ''pages 82-90'' Arriving at the crime scene on July 4, the group found Halal and Hayes murdered. Examining the area with Fluorescel spray, Cirilo was able to identify a trail of blood from Huragok Roams Alone, who had been injured by Hayes. Bagging the bodies, the group set out to follow the trail of blood in hopes of locating the killer.
Unbeknownst to the GMoP, the murderer was actually Forerunner Archeon-class ancilla|''archeon''-class ancilla Intrepid Eye, the attached AI of Covert Support Base 4276 located within the caverns. When Cirilo, Lopis, and the Spartans came near the facility, Intrepid Eye sent her four remaining Aggressor Sentinels to engage the humans. While Cirilo and Lopis engaged the Sentinels with M7 SMG|M7 submachine guns, Fred and the SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-IIIs engaged the Sentinels in close-quarters combat. During the engagement, Cirilo was struck by a Sentinel's Sentinel beam|beam and instantly killed; the Sentinel was promptly destroyed by Fred. A cave-in shortly after buried Cirilo's corpse within the cavern, while Lopis and the Spartans narrowly escaped. Cirilo's remains were later found by Roams Alone, who expressed interest in saving the human but realized that Cirilo was "beyond repair".Halo: Last Light, ''page 130''
Personality and traits
A lanky individual, Veta Lopis noted that Cirilo was a flirt, as he often referred to Lopis as "mama" as in "hot mama". Though it did not bother her as she knew that Cirilo respected her as his boss. Circilo was a close friend of Lopis and was aware of her fears of confined spaces, and attempted to make her feel calm after the two had to climb through a small cavern in the Montero Cave System. Lopis regarded him as a handsome individual and the closest thing she had to a lover, a trusted friend and colleague who shared her passion for catching Gao's criminals.

File:Infiltration of the Cistern.png|250px|thumb|Yanme'e in the Cistern. The Cistern was a cave system on X50, the moon of Draetheus V.
History After Draetheus V was disintegrated by X50, large parts of the planet crashed into the moon and revealed a Forerunner structure.

Citadel Charum was a grand Precursor structure on Charum Hakkor. Prehistoric human civilization|Prehistoric humans considered it to be the greatest Precursor ruin on the planet by the end of the human-Forerunner wars.''Halo: Primordium'', page 240
History As the final planetary defenses collapsed and their defeat became inevitable, the last surviving humans gathered in the Citadel on Charum Hakkor. One by one the wounded, the dying, and the captured were laid out on rows upon hundreds of rows of beds inside the citadel. In an attempt to conceal their identities and ranks from the Forerunners, the Admiralty had stripped off their uniforms. Despite this, the Ur-Didact|Didact was able to identify his greatest opponent Forthencho, the Lord of Admirals.''Halo: Primordium'', page 233-234
Furious at humanity, the Ecumene Council|Old Council (primarily composed of Builders) had originally ordered the complete annihilation of the human race despite being convinced that they knew of a cure against the Flood.''Halo: Silentium'', String 3 The Librarian insisted that humanity and their culture needed to be spared, as this might be the only way for the Forerunners to decipher their apparent Flood immunity. The Council yielded to this request, though only in part; after the Librarian and her Lifeworkers had thoroughly studied the human survivors down to a molecular level, their mental patterns were to be extracted via Composers for further analysis. Inside the citadel, the Librarian and her Lifeworkers walked among the human survivors, providing relief before their imminent composition. Forthencho, Yprin Yprikushma, the Admiralty, and numerous other human warriors (along with their children and families) were then processed by the Composers, destroying their bodies but storing their memories and consciousnesses in digital form.
The Citadel, like all other Precursor structures on the planet, was destroyed when Master Builder Faber and the ancilla Mendicant Bias test-fired Halo Array|Halo Installation 07 in Charum Hakkor system|the system in 100,043 BCE.''Halo: Primordium'', pages 190-192

Citadel is a ''Halo 3'' map that was released on September 22, 2009, with ''Halo 3: ODST'', as a part of the Mythic II Map Pack. The map is a section of the structure first seen in the ''Halo 3'' Multiplayer map Epitaph, - ''"It is a small section of the Forerunner structure that players first saw in the Halo 3 multiplayer map Epitaph."'' which is a Forerunner "cathedral" that towers over the Ark.
Design Citadel is based on the ground floor of the shield towers from the ''Halo 3'' campaign level, The Covenant (level)|The Covenant. It is built off of the geometry from the area around the elevators. There are differences in the geometry for multiplayer game play reasons, including the removal of the automatic doors and minor adjustments to the terrain.
The outside of the map is the same desert from Epitaph, as it is a part of the same tower. However, the player cannot see the tower from the map as it blocks the view. The inside of the map is symmetrical, having identical bases and walkways, making it an ideal Team Slayer map. The textures of walls and floors resemble the textures of the walls and floors from Construct and The Covenant.
Citadel has a number of tight corridors and doorways, making grenade throwing much more frequent. The bases have two levels, with the top level accessible by a ramp or a nearby jump. The bases are also open, but still small, and have a wide open view over to the enemies base.
Strategies A good start to secure the M41 SPNKR|rocket launcher is to grab a BR55HB battle rifle|BR or Vostu-pattern carbine|carbine and destroy the power cores on the other side. This weakens the enemies for easy headshots and allows your team's possession of the rockets. There are many angled walls in this map, making grenades an ideal choice when going into a potentially hostile area. It is best to have your team secure the weapons available to them early in the game, as the other team has almost as easy access to them. Considering the small nature of this map, a power drain is ideal for flushing enemies out. When playing in free for all, it is vital you control a power weapon as soon as possible. The small size of this map makes players often pass up the SRS99D-S2 AM sniper rifle|sniper rifle. If you are good at no-scoping, then the sniper can be helpful when looking at the rocket platform. It is possible to jump to the other team's base off of the rocket platform; this is especially good for Capture the Flag matches and Assault. This map focuses incredibly on teamwork due to its tight corridors and open bases. Moving in groups provides a substantial advantage.
Achievements The following achievements can be unlocked on Citadel across the Xbox 360 and ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' editions of ''Halo 3''.

Miscellaneous
This map has a Halo 3 skulls#Citadel|Skull for the multiplayer achievements. When found, it unlocks the achievement Halo 3 skulls#Citadel|Citadel Skull, which is depicted by the skull and a Forerunner symbols|Forerunner glyph on the forehead. The skull is near the blue side of the map; near the area where a doorway is in between two glowing "B"s. The skull is on top of the "B" on the right-hand side. It is hidden atop of the B inside a small concealed place.
The map was first designed to be much bigger and originally had an elevator for each team, though these features have been removed for undisclosed reasons, most likely to reduce possible lag or eliminate possible glitches associated with such features. The map has a cross-shaped symbol, similar to the symbols on Sandbox and Sandtrap. The strange roaring noises heard on Chiron TL-34, Assault on the Control Room and Two Betrayals can also be heard on this map. Although the map takes place on Installation 00, the arms of the Ark are not visible. This is also the same for Epitaph, which takes place in the same structure. If a player looks out of the "windows" with a scoped weapon, one can see what looks like a desert setting with a structure similar in appearance to the edges of a Halo, only it appears to be made out of bricks and mortar. It is possible, in Forge, to go under the glass floor in the middle of the map. You can even go to the bottom of the hole and place objects. If you look out the skylight windows, there is no evidence of the tower continuing. However, looking out of the side windows (and using the road-like metal objects outside as reference points) reveals that Citadel is closer to the ground than Epitaph is. The former would seem to imply that Citadel is at the top of the tower, but the latter proves that it is closer to the bottom.
*This may have been a simple level design oversight. Using Panoramic camera mode|Pan Cam reveals that the developers completely removed the tower's exterior (such that in terms of the Citadel's 3D, the area is effectively a set of hallways floating in midair). They may not have noticed the resulting discrepancy.
*Citadel seems to be set at the top of the tower, if the player looks upward while standing on the elevated area in the center of the map, the player will see sky. However, when on Epitaph and looking upward, Citadel cannot be seen. This disproves the idea that Citadel is at the top of the tower.

The Citizen Alert was a series of propaganda messages released by the United Earth Government to reassure the civilian population during the Battle of Earth in 2552. In New Mombasa, two Citizen Alert messages were displayed on electric message boards.
One of the messages is from Earth Secretary of Defense Paul Huphy Russel, imploring the youth of New Mombasa to enlist in their local "freedom fighter brigade" to fight the Covenant. The other is a message from Earth Minister of Information David Dockmaster Dunn, urging civilians to "please do your part by reporting to the nearest evacuation zone."
Trivia These signs display messages on both sides, despite the fact that one side faces a wall. The player can find these in ''Halo 2'', level Metropolis, near the area where the player fights a trio of (the Marine command post). You can find one by following the road which curves around in a detour to the left. These signs are similar to the four that are visible in the Halo 2 E3 demo, when the Master Chief operates the turret and after one of the Marines on the radio says "Hostiles right". It is unknown if the messages on the boards are the same as in the final game. Unlike most other signs on the level, these signs are destructible and will explode violently (the way they do in the demo). This explosion will launch a Ghost rather far if it is pressed up against it. In Halo 2 Anniversary (PC confirmed), the message from Paul Huphy Russel has a typo stating "Your ciry needs you!"

Forerunners built their own cities. There were quite a few different types of cities.
The capital of the Ecumene was the city-station of Maethrillian.
Forerunners also built cities on planets, some of which survived the nearly 100,000 year gap from the firing of the Halo Array like the Ten Cities of Edification. Other ground cities of the Forerunners were the ones built on Triniel.''Halo: Renegades'', Chapter ??

Ciudad de AriasThe city is referred to as "Cuidad de Arias" on page 202 of ''Halo: Evolutions'', while page 193 identifies it as "Ciudad de Arias". The spelling on page 202 is clearly either a typographical error or an oversight, as "cuidad" is the second-person plural imperative form of the verb cuidar, meaning "to watch over". "Ciudad" means "city". was one of a number of cities on Verge, a human colony conquered by the Covenant Empire|Covenant. A beacon was set up near the city, providing SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan Team Black|Black Team with cover as they attempted destroy it. "Hopalong", a seemingly non-hostile Yanme'e, made contact with the Spartans in a structure in the city, enlisting their aid in a massive escape attempt of a penal colony of Yanme'e Unmutuals; Yanme'e who are "incapable of socialization". After the Yanme'e inmates turned on the Spartans, Black Team used the city's still-functioning transit system to escape to a D77-TC Pelican|Pelican dropship for extraction.''Halo: Evolutions'', Blunt Instruments
Trivia
"Ciudad de Arias" roughly translates from Spanish as "City of Songs", or, more literally, "City of Sung Music". Signs in the city's subway tunnels indicate Spanish was commonly spoken by the city's inhabitants.

The Civet is a military all-terrain vehicle that was used by the Colonial Administration Authority|CAA's Colonial Military Authority.
Overview
Civets are hulking, tracked all-terrain vehicles that can be fitted with cargo boxes or cargo beds. As such, they are capable of ferrying troops and supplies across terrain that might not be traversable by other transports. A Civet may also have a multiple rocket launcher on it. The ATVs are powered by combustible fuel.
Operational history Manufactured by AMG Transport Dynamics, Civets were the second most common military ATV in CMA service by 2329, being only superseded by the M12 Warthog. On 2526#March|March 18, 2526, a convoy of Civets was employed by the Biko Independence Army and other insurrectionists on Seoba, Biko's third natural satellite|moon during Operation: ICE DANCE|an attack by the United Nations Space Command.

A civil war is a conflict where all sides are of the same nationality. The following are civil wars that have occurred in the ''Halo'' universe.
The Insurrection - A civil conflict in which Insurrectionist factions began using terrorism to gain independence from the United Nations Space Command. The War of Wills - An internal conflict between San'Shyuum Reformists and the Stoics over the Forerunner Dreadnought that crashed on Janjur Qom. The Unggoy Rebellion - A brief conflict in which the Covenant Empire's Unggoy populous rebelled against unfair treatment.
*At least Sixteenth Unggoy Disobedience|sixteen minor rebellions involving the Unggoy were also fought. The Struggle for Ideological Purity - Another civil war among the Covenant Empire. This time, the fighting was over the restoration of religion and the Covenant Ideology, and those who were enemies of it. The Great Schism - The final civil war the Covenant would face, started when the Prophet of Truth|High Prophet of Truth ordered the genocide of the Sangheili. The Blooding Years - A series of conflicts between the Swords of Sanghelios, the Servants of the Abiding Truth, and Jul 'Mdama's Covenant.

Civilian Emergency Instructions were documents provided to the civilian population of Arcadia and presumably the other human Outer Colonies as well. They provided instructions on basic survival and evacuation procedures in the event of a Covenant attack. As such, they seemingly represent the civilian response to the United Nations Space Command|UNSC's declaration of WINTER CONTINGENCY (protocol)|WINTER CONTINGENCY.
Arcadia State of Emergency This document supersedes the previous CEI instruction pamphlet [GLYPH 4790] and contains new information regarding emergency management execution.
For the duration of the crisis the UNCOM civilian statute is suspended as detailed in UNSC Security Council Resolution 2532-767ER|Security Council Resolution 2532-767ER. The Council has mandated that United Nations Space Command|UNSC Command, both local to your area and systemwide has authority to manage the crisis.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
LOCAL EMERGENCY SIGNAL. If a local emergency is declared you will hear a long continuous siren. The sirens will broadcast from local broadcasts, military and civilian security centers and other venues. At that time you should proceed as quickly as possible to your designated shelter and await further instructions.
DIRECT EMERGENCY SIGNAL. In cases of a more direct emergency when time is more critical you will hear three short bursts which will repeat at 30 second intervals. At this time you should proceed to the closest public shelter. If you are at home you may be able to improvise some last minute shelter (see document GLYPH 4893 for suggestions). If you are outside and unable to get to a shelter you should find the lowest lying area around you and lie down.
Do not use the local communication system to make calls once either of these emergencies have been declared. In general these systems will switch to emergency service use only. Tune directly to any local news channel and listen for instructions. Purchase a PAPER pad and pen to write directions down since local power may become unavailable and EMP devices may render portable notepads useless.
You may have to stay at your location for an indeterminate amount of time. Anything from a day to a week. Public shelters are stocked with supplies and drinking water and private citizens should keep at least one weeks worth of supplies on hand at all times.
IN CASE OF INJURY. An attack by alien weaponry will lead to many injuries and deaths. Hospitals and doctors may not be available to tend to the wounded and the types of wounds and you may have to treat injured citizens at the shelter. Do not go outside the shelter to seek aid. Radiation fallout from enemy bombardment, fires and other hazards will endanger you and those in your shelter. Heavily radiated rainfall, radiated ash, and toxic gas clouds are typical within the first 24 hours of an enemy attack.
IN CASE OF DEATH. All public shelters have a supply of sealable body bags. If there are casualties in your shelter you should put the body into one of these bags and seal it. If possible attach identification to the body before placing it in the bag. If you are in the shelter for longer than 36 hours place any body bags directly outside the shelter or in the shelter airlock as quickly as possible.
Evacuation instructions will be broadcast as quickly as possible following an attack. You should know within 24 hours when your shelter or location will be evacuated to safety. Before any evacuation from the shelter check the local surroundings for enemy activity. If you see a non-human stay in the shelter. There is no agreement with the alien enemy for evacuating non-combatants.
Trivia
"GLYPH" may be a reference to the online alias of the 343 Industries writer Jonathan Goff.

Destroying the vehicle before running it over is recommended to maintain a high score.
In ''Halo: Reach'', a number of civilian vehicles are actually drivable. This includes the Cart, the S-2 Traxus Cargo Transporter, the Spade, and the HuCiv HC1500|HC1500. None of them have weapons and are quite easily destroyed. However the Spade actually allows Jorge-052 to stand on the rear platform and mount Etilka|his chaingun to the roof.
In ''Halo 2: Anniversary''s multiplayer, the Hog is a drivable vehicle.
A number of civilian vehicles appear as Forge objects. In ''Halo 3'', two vehicles appear as placable scenery items. In ''Halo 5: Guardians'', three vehicles are forge objects; the Fossa, the Dewmax, and an unnamed truck.
The version of ''Halo: Reach'' in ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' added several civilian vehicles to Forge/Halo: Reach|Forge.
Production notes During the production of ''Halo: Chronicles'', several civilian Corporate starship designs were sketched.

File:Civilian_group.jpg|thumb|250px|A group of civilians in New Alexandria (location)|New Alexandria. A civilian, according to international humanitarian law, is a person who is not a member of their country's uNSC Defense Force|armed forces. The term is also often used colloquially to refer to people who are not members of a particular profession or occupation, especially by Civilian security forces|law enforcement agencies, which often use rank structures similar to those of military units. Often, the military's main purpose and occupation is to defend the civilians from invaders. However, many civilians, such as Dr. Catherine Halsey are involved with the military.
Civilian vehicles
One civilian vehicle is the Hog. Another civilian vehicle is the Spade. Cars and trucks appear through Halo 3: ODST and Halo 2.

Gameplay Civilians only play a side role in most of the Halo universe|''Halo'' games, apart from a couple levels. Examples include the Voi factory workers in ''Halo 3'',''Halo 3'', campaign level, The Storm the civilians on Arcadia in ''Halo Wars'', and the civilians in New Alexandria (location)|New Alexandria, Reach in ''Halo: Reach''. Another example is the meta-game Sadie's Story in ''Halo 3: ODST''.''Halo 3: ODST'', campaign level, Mombasa Streets
Both civilians and civilian vehicles have an increased role and appearance in ''Halo: Reach''. For example, in the level Exodus, the player can save civilians that are being slaughtered by Jiralhanae. Killing a civilian in ''Halo: Reach'' results in the immediate death of the player with the message, ''"You killed a civilian!"'' Alternatively on co-op, if the player kills two civilians after respawning, Noble Team will turn on the player and kill them instantly with one shot like Thel 'Vadam|the Arbiter and Avery Junior Johnson|Sgt. Johnson from ''Halo 3''. And, on the level Winter Contingency, the farmers encountered are re-skinned civilians.
Civilians appear in one level of ''Halo Wars'', on the level Arcadia City. They are supposed to be escorted to the transport vehicles.
Civilians in ''Halo: Spartan Assault'' appear in a level where you have to evacuate the civilians through Spirits, while also having a limit of 10 civilian deaths.
In ''Halo 4'', civilian scientists are encountered during the Raid on Ivanoff Station.
Civilians have a more prominent role in ''Halo 5: Guardians'', during the Battle of Meridian (2558)|Meridian story arc.

The Clan of the Long Shields, often simplified as Long Shields, are a Jiralhanae-led Banished clan under the leadership of Jiralhanae Warlord|Warlord Pavium and his brother Voridus, larger than a pack though not the size of a Legion#Banished|legion. They were decimated in the events surrounding the Battle of Epsilon Clarion, leaving only a few known survivors.
History
Pavium and Voridus were sent on a salvage mission to the wreckage surrounding High Charity, with Atriox ordering them to avoid going into the Covenant's former holy city out of fear of the Flood surviving within. Not believing in the existence of the Flood, Voridus led the clan to High Charity, deactivated the Ark's Sentinel defense network and breached the quarantine shield with a Barukaza Workshop Scarab. However, when the Long Shields entered High Charity, the Flood within quickly set upon them, infecting many of the Banished forces and escaping from their quarantine to Outbreak on Installation 00|infest the Ark once more.
Pavium and Voridus quickly regrouped with their remaining forces to contain the Flood. Regardless, Atriox became enraged by their actions which forced him to pull back from positions that he had spent months fortifying in order to focus on the threat of the Flood. As Pavium and many of the Long Shields held the line, Voridus led more troops into a Forerunner structure where he managed to reactivate the Sentinel defense network.
With the Ark's defenses back online, the Long Shields attacked a massive Proto-Gravemind which was in danger of soon becoming a Gravemind. With the help of a Retriever Sentinel, the Long Shields were able to destroy the Proto-Gravemind before an angry Atriox arrived to admonish Pavium and Voridus. The Long Shields then joined a force of thousands of Sentinels in containing the Flood outbreak completely. Ultimately, the Banished and the Sentinels succeeded in "scouring" the Flood from the ruins of High Charity and plundering the ruined city's data stores, retrieving, amongst other things, various access codes for ''Anodyne Spirit'' and a Forerunner entanglement dish.
The conflict cost the Long Shields hundreds of troops and vehicles - 40% of their total forces.''Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare'', campaign level Manifestation
After being disgraced following the Flood outbreak, Pavium and Voridus discovered a note left behind by Veta Lopis, a covert double agent inside the Keepers of the One Freedom. This note informed them that the Keepers intended to fire all the Halo rings from the Ark. Seeing this as an opportunity to redeem their clan, they set out to stop the Keepers who had allied with Dhas Bhasvod's Dhas Bhasvod's Covenant. Throughout their mission, Pavium's authority was indirectly challenged by Thalazan who saw an opportunity to compete with the disgraced warlord for leadership.
During the Battle of Epsilon Clarion, the Ferrets alerted the loyalists and the Keepers to the clan's presence as their impending attack threatened the UNSC's plans to destroy Intrepid Eye. The battle decimated all three sides, leaving Voridus, Pavium and possibly Thalazan as the only survivors of the Long Shields. Following the orbital bombardment by the ''Spirit of Fire'' that destroyed Epsilon Clarion and stopped the attempt at firing the Halo Array, Pavium and Voridus plotted to claim that the Long Shields had held off the Keepers long enough for the humans to commence their bombardment, knowing that there was no one left alive to contradict their claims.
Military assets The Long Shields make use of various Banished vehicles and weaponry. While predominantly composed of Jiralhanae, fifteen of the Banished's many humans were in the clan, as well as Sangheili Sangheili Mercenary|mercenaries from Let 'Volir's Enduring Conviction|clan, Unggoy, and Huragok. A few humans in the clan defected to the UNSC after the Outbreak on Installation 00|Flood outbreak on the Ark, leading Pavium to pre-emptively kick out the humans under his command, killing some in the process. Warmaster Atriox was upset with his decision to do so, considering all Banished humans to be valuable assets.

The Ravaged Tusks are a Jiralhanae-led clan under the leadership of Chieftain Ballas. While the clan serves as a Legion#Banished|legion within the Banished, Ballas holds the rank of legionmaster. The clan is known to be smugglers and slavery|slavers.
History Chieftain Ballas led the Ravaged Tusks for over two decades prior to the Battle for Zeta Halo. By 2559|July 2559, the Ravaged Tusks had been absorbed into the Banished. When War Chief Escharum received a transmission from Atriox that ordered him to find a Forerunner slipspace portal|portal rumored to be hidden on Reach so that he could leave the Installation 00|Ark and return to the Milky Way|galaxy, the Ravaged Tusks were sent to the human Human colonies|colony, alongside the Keepers of the One Freedom and the Legion of the Corpse-Moon, to search for this "Menachite portal complex|Portal under the Mountain."
After landing on Reach, the clans were each assigned a third of the world to search, the supercontinent of Eposz being split into thirds as well. Ballas and the Ravaged Tusks had been assigned the southwest third. However, the three clans had little luck in finding this near-mythical portal. Ballas and Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftain Deukalion, who led the Legion of the Corpse-Moon, started to squabble with over the resources found within the human rehabilitation settlements spread across their search areas. Dokab Castor, who led the Keepers, was able to reason with Ballas and Deukalion convincing them to continue their search for the portal. Recently, a SPARTAN-II program|Spartan Blue Team|team had arrived on Reach as part of a Operation: WOLFE|mission to recover key assets from the ruins of CASTLE Base. Castor did not know of their true objective, but he felt sure that they were searching for the portal.
As part of Castor's plan to follow the Spartan team, forces from the Ravaged Tusks and Legion of the Corpse-Moon would continue to harass them. Ballas' forces also participated in the failed Battle of New Mohacs|defense and recapture of Mohacs|New Mohacs, a settlement ran by the Viery Militia. Luckily for the Banished, the Spartans did lead the three clans to the portal, as CASTLE Base happened to sit atop the Forerunner complex.
Upon Atriox's return to the Milky Way, the warmaster gave the Ravage Tusks new orders. They would accompany the Banished fleet to Installation 07 aboard their warship ''Voidfaith''. Upon arriving, Atriox set Ballas loose against the humans, scouring the ring's surface for any enemies who might have survived.
Military assets The Ravaged Tusks make use of various Banished vehicles and weaponry, such as Eklon'Dal Workshop Marauders, Eklon'Dal Workshop Wraith|Wraiths, 'Ahtulai Workshop Banshee|Banshees, Eklon'Dal Workshop Phantom|Phantoms, Seraphs, Gravity hammer (fiction)|gravity hammers, s, and Grenflekt Workshop Spikers. Though Banished humans were never permitted to fight in their forces, species such as Unggoy and Kig-Yar serve within their ranks under Jiralhanae leaders, as well as Banished Sangheili from other Sangheili mercenary clans.

Clan workshops are local armament workshops held by clans of various species. Predominantly found in Jiralhanae culture, workshops are a vital component of their arms industry.
Overview Rather than massive megacorporations the likes of Misriah Armory operated by the UNSC or the Assembly Forges employed by the Covenant, the Jiralhanae typically produce arms and armaments on a more local level, with each clan having their own workshop who manufacture, modify and maintain the clan's weapons and vehicles. Clan workshops typically design and furnish their own clan vehicles, though may also negotiate deals with larger forges, foundries or crucibles for mass manufacture. In some cases, multiple smaller clans may combine their knowledge to produce a singular design, while in others larger multi-clan organisations such as the Banished may also commission designs from a given clan workshop.
For example, the Barug'qel Workshop Trespasser|Trespasser dropship was designed by Baruq'qel Workshop for the Banished, though the design was later put to mass manufacture by the Armory of Gethrog. Some Jiralhanae designs, such as the Paegaas Workshop Spiker|Spiker design created by Paegaas Workshop, were put to mass manufacture by non-Jiralhanae organisations. This was especially notable during the administration of the Prophet of Truth, with the Hierarch secretly ordering the Sacred Promissory to begin a mass construction of Jiralhanae weaponry - with designs taken from localised clan workshops and modified to suit the Covenant needs.
History The system of localized clan workshops had permeated through Jiralhanae society during the wars fought on their homeworld Doisac prior to their incorporation into the Covenant in 2492. Under the Covenant's reign, clan workshops were run under the careful watch of Covenant missionaries, though toward the end of the Human-Covenant War many workshop designs were taken by the Prophet of Truth and put into mass manufacture by the Sacred Promissory, modified with new Covenant technologies such as plasma weaponry and anti-gravity technology. Many of the Jiralhanae clans and workshops were based on Doisac, and were presumably destroyed along Razing of Oth Sonin|with the planet in 2559.
While workshops are predominantly a Jiralhanae organization, the Ahtulai clan of Banished Sangheili mercenaries have developed their own workshop too, exclusively for Banished service to Atriox.
List of clan workshops Clan workshops are typically named after their host clan. Common parlance dictates that a workshop may be simply referred to as ''[clan name] workshop'', though they may also have more specific names.

While designs originate in the clan workshops, a single clan does not have the resources to construct them on a massive scale. This is instead the job of larger manufacturing centres, which take the clan workshop designs and proliferate them on an industrial scale. Some clans may operate their own manufacturing centres - for example the designs of the Dovotaa Workshop also being constructed in the Crucibles of Dovotaa, or the Eklon'dal Workshop operating the Eklon War-Forges.

A clan is an organized group of players that band together for various reasons. Some battle other focused clans in an all-out clan war ("clanmatch" in matchmaking) in team games and for practice. Other clans consist of members who share a common interest, such as machinima production or Forging.
Overview Clans are primarily social structures and as such, they exist in all three of the ''Halo'' first-person shooters. They are becoming less prevalent in the older games, particularly ''Halo: Combat Evolved''. In Halo Custom Edition, however, clans are still easy to find; they host multiple dedicated servers in an effort to provide places for people to play -- and, of course, to boost their "publicity".
''Halo 2'' is the only ''Halo'' game to explicitly support clans as a built-in option; its clan system allows a clan to hold up to 100 people. A multiplayer emblems|gamertag may only belong to one clan at a time.
There is no built-in clan ladder on ''Halo 3''. This has led to the development of numerous informal ways to identify with a clan; clan members often share the same emblem or service tag. Clans organize externally, coordinating and recruiting on websites and Bungie.net. The much larger communities of gamers are sometimes devoted to other games in addition to ''Halo''; they also tend to be more competitive. Examples include Major League Gaming and LCU, the two largest ''Halo 3'' gaming communities in the world. To survive, such clans tend to keep a close eye on their members' gaming activities; hold meetings; raise money to fund the community and the websites; and constantly recruit in an effort to maintain the clan's popularity and longevity.
In ''Halo 2''
The ''Halo 2'' clan system has a ranking system that consists of the following:
Peon Lowest of all the classes. Can only participate in clanmatches. Usually used as a punishment within a clan. Member Average member of the clan. Can recruit others via clan invite and participate in clanmatches. Staff Managers of the clan. They have all of the privileges granted to the lower ranks, along with the ability to change lower-ranking members' ranks (to Staff or lower). They can also boot lower-ranking members from the clan. Overlord Administrators and leaders of the clan. They have all of the privileges of the Staff, but with considerably more power.
In ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection''
A clan tag will become available after completing 50 multiplayer games or campaign missions.

A clan is a group of people united by actual or perceived kinship and descent. Even if actual lineage patterns are unknown, clan members may nonetheless recognize a founding member or apical ancestor. The kinship-based bonds may be merely symbolic in nature, whereby the clan shares a stipulated common ancestor that is a symbol of the clan's unity. Humans, Forerunners, Sangheili, Kig-Yar, and Jiralhanae live or have lived in a clan-based lifestyle at some point in their species' history.
Background
Sangheili clans are similar to those of the Wikipedia:Scottish clan|Highland Scots in the sense that those within a clan operate as a single family. The family name originates from their founder; for example, the Vadam clan was presumably founded by a Sangheili by that name. Clans are settled in states bearing the family name. They are run by a tribal chief known as a ''kaidon''. The kaidon is supported by a council of Elders.Halo: The Cole Protocol, ''page 89''
Kig-Yar clans ruled their Eayn|homeworld before they were incorporated into the Covenant. These clans often competed for resources and raided each other's cities; they also held inter-clan competitions in major population centers.Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition), ''page 157'' Even after the Covenant's dissolution, clans remain an element of Kig-Yar society, though they no longer hold as much influence as they once did.Halo: Mortal Dictata, ''page 68'' Kig-Yar clans often work in unity unless one clan has grievances with another.Halo: Mortal Dictata, ''page 138''
Jiralhanae clans are typically referred to as packs.Halo: Contact Harvest, ''page 194'' A pack's Jiralhanae Chieftain|chieftain is the group's absolute ruler. Succession among chieftains is realized by the successor killing his predecessor in honorable combat.Halo: Contact Harvest, ''page 347'' Clans are the most prominent division in Jiralhanae society, however some clans united under similar interests to form larger "meta-clan" social divisions. These two social divisions became known as the Rh'tol and the Vheiloth skeins.
Forerunner Builder families were organized into clans. These clans formed alliances with each other and held tributes and records of their ancestors.Halo: Cryptum, ''page 242''

''Clan's Blade'' was the personal ship of the Sangheili rebellion leader Ussa 'Xellus in 851 BCE. Small but slipspace-Slipspace drive|capable, ''Clan's Blade'' was blue and red in color and shaped like a dart. The ship was only large enough for a handful of passengers and had a tiny bridge.Halo: Broken Circle, ''Chapter 1''
History In 851 BCE, Ussa 'Xellus used ''Clan's Blade'' to travel from Sanghelios to Creck, a Sangheili mining colony, with his mate, Sooln 'Xellus|Sooln. He landed at one of the colony's spaceports and headed for the mines in an attempt to rally more Sangheili for his rebellion against the newly formed Covenant. Although his attempts failed, 'Crecka met with Ussa and Sooln at ''Clan's Blade'' and convinced them to allow him aboard. 'Crecka told Ussa about The Refuge|Shield World 0673 and told him that he could use it as refuge for his allies. Intrigued, the three Sangheili departed in ''Clan's Blade'' for the shield world. Upon arrival at the world Ussa landed ''Clan's Blade'' on a portal on the shield world to gain access to its interior. An airlock formed around the ship, whereupon the Sangheili moved out to explore the artificial world, soon meeting with monitor Enduring Bias. Ussa later returned to Sanghelios in ''Clan's Blade'' to transport the rest of his allies to the shield world.
Once 'Xellus and his followers arrived at the shield world, ''Clan's Blade'' was one of the three vessels used by the Ussans. In 850 BCE, Salus 'Crolon betrayed the Ussans and used ''Clan's Blade'' to escape the shield world. ''Clan's Blade'' entered slipstream space and escaped the Ussan system. The ship was eventually intercepted and captured by the Covenant.Halo: Broken Circle, ''pages 155-158'' (Google Play edition) 'Crolon attempted to offer the Covenant coordinates to the shield world in exchange for his freedom, but the Covenant simply searched the navigational systems of ''Clan's Blade'' to retrieve the coordinates and 'Crolon was imprisoned.Halo: Broken Circle, ''page 165'' (Google Play edition)

Clarence was an Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI Office of Naval Intelligence#Section III|Section 3 operative who was assigned to the in 2552#October|October 2552 with Sergeant Zhao Heng Lopez|Lopez and her team.Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe, "The Mona Lisa", ''page 224''
Biography Clarence was part of Sergeant Lopez's squad when they were sent on a reconnaissance mission on the prison ship ''Mona Lisa'' in the Soell|Soell system on October 25.Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe, "The Mona Lisa", ''page 243'' Unlike the rest of the UNSC Marine Corps|Marines, Clarence was fully aware of the mission's true purpose, and was under orders to not permit anybody but the Marines to escape the ship.Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe, "The Mona Lisa", ''pages 338-340''
When the Marines split up in order to enact the United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1|Cole Protocol, Clarence was assigned to Hospital Corpsman|Corpsman Ngoc Benti|Benti's group, alongside Gersten, Orlav and Tsardikos. As they were attacked by the Flood in the ship's bilges, Orlav became infected and was promptly shot by Clarence, but not before managing to bite Gersten.Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe, ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 285'' After Gersten began to show signs of infection, Clarence would swiftly execute him without hesitation as well.Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe, "The Mona Lisa", ''page 291-292''
His status as an ONI operative was revealed to the other Marines moments before the ship's destruction. As the Marines regrouped at the last remaining escape pods, Clarence executed a prisoner named Patrick Rimmer|Rimmer, who had made friends with a Sangheili named Henry. As Lopez trained her rifle on Clarence, a heavily injured Corpsman Benti forced herself and Clarence into a mob of Flood to give Lopez and Henry a chance to escape.
Personality and traits Clarence was known to be quiet and serious, to the extent his silence occasionally disturbed Lopez and the other Marines, who would often talk behind his back, suspecting he had a hidden agenda.Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe, "The Mona Lisa", ''pages 227-228'' He was also an exceptionally skilled combatant, and Sergeant Lopez considered him to be one of her best Marines. He was described by Benti as someone one could depend on and trust. Lopez had noticed how relaxed Clarence always was and mentally noted he was good backup when facing the unknown.Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe, "The Mona Lisa", ''page 226'' It was rumored that he had killed more Covenant over his career than anyone else on the squad. Despite being somewhat ruthless, as he clearly did not regret killing Orlav, Gersten and Rimmer (although he was following orders technically, and Orlav and Gersten were infected by the Flood and he was not to allow anyone other than the Marines to leave the ship), he did have some humanity, saying it wasn't personal when his true nature as an ONI operative was revealed. He also had at least some respect for "Henry", as he referred to him by the nickname and asked him to put down Benti.Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe, "The Mona Lisa", ''page 250''

Clarion spy drones are small probes used by the United Nations Space Command|UNSC. They can be programmed to follow a course, and can propel themselves through space. They use a variety of sensors and cameras to scan space and transmit data to any ship, station, or planet in range.''Halo: First Strike'', Chapter 29
History
In 2552#September|September, 2552, after a Covenant cruiser appears near the Eridanus Secundus asteroid base John-117 discovers that the only has three Clarion spy drones in its launch tubes. Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb has John launch two of them to keep an eye on the cruiser. After a plan is devised to use the ''Gettysburg's'' magnetic coils to shape the plasma for ''Ascendant Justice's'' one working turret, Cortana uses the drones to calculate her shot from behind cover, enabling them to fire on the cruiser before it can enter firing range itself. The cruiser is destroyed while the action leaves one of the drones destroyed as well.
After returning to the ''Gettysburg'' after rigging the ''Unyielding Hierophant'' to blow, the Spartans are informed by Sergeant Avery Johnson that they have a drone almost in place to watch the coming destruction of the station. After realizing that Whitcomb intends to use ''Ascendant Justice'' as a lure, John orders a link to be opened with ''Ascendant Justice'', bouncing it off of the drone. When Johnson is unable to do it, Frederic-104 manages to get the link. Through the camera of the drone, the crew of the ''Gettysburg'' watches as Whitcomb and Lieutenant Elias Haverson succeed in luring most of the Covenant fleet in close to the ''Unyielding Hierophant'' resulting in their destruction when the station explodes. After pulling the drone back briefly for safety, it is used to observe the aftermath, discovering that only about a dozen ships out of around five hundred survived.''Halo: First Strike'', Chapter 36

The ''Clarity of Faith'' was a Covenant Empire|Covenant assigned to High Charity. It was commanded by Shipmaster Thon 'Talamee in 2552, with his brother Reff 'Talamee as second in command.Halo: Blood Line, ''Halo: Blood Line Issue 1|Issue 1''
History In late 2552, around the same time as the United Nations Space Command|UNSC was making final preparations for Operation: BLOWBACK, the ''Clarity of Faith'' was three cycles behind schedule to rendezvous with a supply convoy and escort it through Sub-sector 35|Sub-Sector 35. Before it jumped to the convoy's position, the ''Clarity of Faith'' intercepted a transmission of unknown origin, containing a Pi-constant baseline not used by the Covenant or the humans. Reff believed the message to be a sign from the Forerunners, possibly pointing to "sacred" artifacts, and wanted to examine it further. Thon, however, ignored the transmission, stating that he ''"doesn't run the ship on religious theories"'' and ordered the ship to jump into Slipstream space|Slipstream Space. As they did, the ''Clarity of Faith'' was instantly hit by energy bombardment from Line Installation 1-4 and dropped out of Slipspace. It was caught in the gravity of an unidentified moon (Sub-sector 35)|unnamed moon, and crashed on its surface. Only a handful of the crew survived, and moved out of the wreckage to explore the moon's surface. Coincidentally, the same had happened to the UNSC vessel , which was on a covert mission to sabotage the Covenant ships the ''Clarity of Faith'' was supposed to escort.
Trivia The ''Clarity of Faith'' follows the design of the Assault Carriers in ''Halo 2'', lacking an Energy projector|Energy Projector under its bow unlike the ones seen in ''Halo 3''. The bridge of the ''Clarity of Faith'' appears identical to that of the Ket-pattern battlecruiser|''Ket''-pattern battlecruiser ''Truth and Reconciliation''.

Class-1 directed energy cannon, colloquially referred to by the broad term plasma cannon or plasma turret, is a category of manned automatic plasma turrets used by the Covenant. Several models have been identified, including the Pek-pattern plasma cannon|Type-52 DESW and the Shepsu-pattern plasma cannon|Type-42 DESW.
Design details and operation Plasma cannons are generally found on tripod mounts, but can also be attached to certain vehicles. Some models can be detached from their mount and become man-portable, usually wielded by Jiralhanae War Chieftains, Jiralhanae Chieftains and Sangheili Generals. Plasma cannons are often strategically placed, usually in locations where the much larger Shade cannot fit. The turrets usually have a very high rate of fire and most of them are used as anti-infantry weapons.
Variants
The , colloquially known as the Shadow, is also equipped with a type of medium plasma cannon.Halo: The Essential Visual Guide, ''page 172'' In outward appearance, the weapon is similar to the , although it fires plasma bolts similar to the Eeo'Pimu-pattern Shade|T-27 variant and has a considerably greater rate of fire.Halo 2
The Type-42 DESW is a tripod-mounted plasma cannon and is used as a heavy support weapon in ground-based combat and provides a rapid stream of powerful plasma rounds to suppress enemy movements and offensive actions. The turret is placed in strategic locations and can be operated by most Covenant infantry. The turret only has a 65 degree turn radius and 50 degree pitch and fires plasma bolts similar to that of the .
The Type-46 Infantry Support Vehicle, also known as the Spectre, is fitted with an energy turret classified as a T-46 Directed Energy Weapon/Mounted, which is mounted at the Spectre's rear with a 360 degree turn radius. In comparison with the Type-52 Prowler ISV's cannon, the Spectre's weapon is superior in terms of accuracy and rate of fire.Halo: The Essential Visual Guide, ''page 184''
The Type-52 DESW is the universal replacement of the Type-42 DESW. The Type-52 DESW is very similar to the older version, having roughly the same rate of fire, the same damage per hit and the same range. If the T-52 is removed from its tripod mount in order to be used as a man-portable weapon, its ammunition capacity will be limited to 200 rounds.Halo 3
The , commonly identified as the Wraith, is equipped with a unique type of plasma turret classified as a medium plasma cannon.Halo: The Essential Visual Guide, ''page 206'' It is fixed on a ring mount on top of the vehicle. The turret is composed of a central bulb and two prongs on either side of it that produce the plasma. This version is nearly identical to the Type-52 DESW, but has a much greater turn radius and is primarily used to protect the vehicle from Boarding (gameplay mechanic)|boarding. The turret is mainly used by Unggoy Heavy|Heavy Grunts, Jiralhanae|Brutes and sometimes even Sangheili|Elites.
The is also equipped with a medium plasma cannon to prevent boarding.Halo: The Essential Visual Guide, ''page 9''
The Qavardu Workshop Prowler, more commonly known as the Prowler, is also outfitted with a unique version of the plasma cannon, classified as a light plasma cannon.Halo: The Essential Visual Guide, ''page 150'' This version, like the one mounted on the Wraith, is situated in a ring mount on top of the vehicle and is mainly used to protect the vehicle from boarding. The turret is aesthetically different from the Wraith-mounted version, sharing the crude aesthetic characteristic of Jiralhanae-manufactured technology as opposed to the organic and sleek designs of most Covenant equipment. It possesses a long barrel inside a type of cylinder and bigger handles, but is otherwise identical to the Wraith turret, with the same firing rate, accuracy and damage. This version is almost always operated by a Brute.
Trivia The first type of plasma cannon to appear in the games was the Type-42 DESW, which appeared in ''Halo 2''. Its replacement, the Type-52, first appeared in ''Halo 3'' and has filled the role of the primary Covenant plasma cannon in all subsequent games. Unlike the Type-42 DESW, the Type-52 DESW could now be detached from its tripod mount and become man-portable, at the cost of maneuverability and of limited ammunition (only 200 rounds). In ''Halo: Reach'' and ''Halo 4'', the plasma cannons overheat with prolonged use.

Class-2 directed energy cannon,Based on naming of the Ghost's Class-2 cannons at also referred to as the Class-2 energy gun,Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition), ''page 331'' or medium plasma cannon,Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Library (feature)|Library: ''Ghost'' is a category of ubiquitous Covenant vehicle-mounted weapon systems, commonly used on the s, Type-26 Banshees and Shade turrets.
Design details The Class-2 directed energy cannon is a directed energy weapon that is mounted onto small Covenant craft and is a newer plasma-based projectile weapon system. The weapons power output is 100-250 kW.Halo 2 manual, ''page 18'' The design of the weapon does not differ much from standard Covenant plasma weapons, using a single collimator covered with a two-piece metal case. The class 2 weapon system is used for heavy combat situations and is employed for both anti-vehicle and ship-to-ship combat, but can be extremely effective in infantry support and suppressive roles. The Class-2's role as an anti-vehicle weapon means that the firepower produced by this weapon is considerably high, able to punch through and melt multiple layers of armor until the target vehicles is destroyed, or inoperable. The class 2 energy weapon functions like most plasma based weapons used by the Covenant by rapidly cycling, loading, ignition, and release of plasma at high velocities. The plasma is contained and guided by an electromagnetic bottle which guides the plasma until it either travels too far away from the magnetic source and dissipates, or strikes its intended target.
Against infantry, the lethality of the Class-2 energy weapon is severe as injuries inflicted to infantry with light body armor are severe fourth-degree burns, this level of injury completely burns away all flesh, leaving only bone tissue. Body fluids would be subjected to flash vaporization, and fluids trapped in organs or arteries in addition to the rapid expansion of heat would cause ruptures or small steam explosions causing additional damage to the body. Near misses can also cause injury to the target, as they produce severe burns to the area they pass, this can also cause heat trauma or heat stroke from the extreme temperatures of the bolt.Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, ''page 19''Halo: The Fall of Reach, ''page 315'' Should the plasma impact an object, the impact can cause splash damage creating debris both non-heated and heated that may come into contact with a target, with a crippling or lethal effect.Halo: The Cole Protocol, ''page 15'' Damage to light armored vehicles is high as the plasma's high kinetic energy and extreme temperatures can punch through it with ease, more heavily armored vehicles can withstand a certain amount of fire before its armor can be penetrated.
There are several known variants of the Class-2 directed energy cannon, but they all work more or less the same way. Ghosts have a pair of cannons mounted on their front, which can raise and lower to hit targets of varying altitude. Banshees have bulkier cannons that recoil with each shot. Covenant exo-atmospheric craft, such as Banshee Interceptors and Phantom Gunboats, are equipped with more powerful weapons known as heavy plasma cannons.
The Class-2 energy weapon is a medium range weapon, and can inflict very high damage against armor and infantry the weapon however excels at destroying light armored vehicles and is the primary reason a good number of Covenant vehicles use this weapon system. Vehicles equipped with Class-2 weapon systems can halt enemy infantry advance with its ability to deliver harassing suppressive fire; this tactic is also reflected in the Covenant's combat doctrine: destroy enemy morale with harassing fire from distant or hidden snipers and intimate exposure to the alien-ness of their infantry. The weapon's small power source coupled with the vehicle's design allows prolonged continuous fire without overheating the weapon, excess heat is vented through small vents placed on the vehicle.
Although the Class-2 energy weapon can strike a target at longer ranges, it is not suited for long range combat. The first is the rate of thermal expansion which is determined by the rate of the bloom of the bolt, blooming is the result of plasma breakdown in the air at energy densities of around a megajoule per cubic centimeter. This effect causes the plasma to defocus and disperse energy into the atmosphere. It can be more severe if there is fog, smoke, or dust in the air. As the bolt is accelerated away from the "barrel" of the weapon the plasma begins to decay as a result of the weakening magnetic field. Speed also factors in to this, the faster the bolt is accelerated, the farther the bolt will travel before the temperature of plasma begins to decay and the magnetic field becomes unstable and finally dissipates. As the bolt loses velocity it also loses kinetic damage as it travels longer distances. Each vehicle that uses the class-2 energy gun has their own disadvantages when equipped with this weapon system and as such can either be limited in firing angle or range.
Trivia The sound of the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' Class-2 energy gun firing is the same as the sound of a Type-25 plasma pistol firing. This also applies to the and Banshee. While boosting in a Ghost or Banshee, the player cannot fire the plasma cannons because the energy used to fire them is being channeled to the boosters. In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the twin plasma cannons fired simultaneously and has the capability of stunning the enemy temporarily, while in ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 3'', they fire alternatively and lack the stun effect. It should also be noted that the cannons in ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 3'' are much more accurate during sustained fire.

The Class-5 Bumblebee, or formally the Class-5 Heavy Lifeboat, is a variant of the United Nations Space Command|UNSC lifeboat shuttle commonly known as the Bumblebee.
Design details
Found onboard UNSC prowlers, the Class-5 Bumblebee has one pilot seat and an unknown amount of crash seats. The seats have harnesses to keep people from injury when crash-landing. Though fast, tiny, and difficult to track, a single shot from a heavy plasma weapon will instantly destroy the craft. However, Class-5 Bumblebees are heavily armored, and resistant to small-arms plasma weapons. Like D77-TC Pelican|Pelican dropships and fellow Class-3 Bumblebees, each has a call sign, usually consisting of three letters from the Phonetic Alphabet, followed by a number. As with other models, the Class-5 Bumblebee features thrustersforward and rearas well as air-brakes. The Class-5 Bumblebee notably boasts a large rear bay capable of storing a heavy weapons cache, Slipspace drive, or even several cryo-chambers.
Known Class-5 Bumblebees
''Whiskey Tango Foxtrot One''
Operational History The prowler carried at least one of these Bumblebees which was utilized by Spartan-II Gray Team to safely escape the Operation: SUNSPEAR|destruction of Glyke in 2552#December|December, 2552 and, 2558|six years later, to flee the ''Unwavering Discipline'' before crash-landing on the planet Carrow.

Classic Completion is an achievement in ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection''. It is awarded by completing Exodus without using any armor abilities.
Methods The achievement can be unlocked by playing ''Exodus'' in any difficulty, but it is recommended play it on Easy. One method to unlock the achievement is playing the level in Co-op: in the section where the players must use the jetpacks, one of the players must cross the jetpack section and the other will stay behind; the second player will appear near the first one if they separate too far. Its recommended that the player who use the jetpack must have unlocked the achievement already. Another way is using a second controller. A third way to unlock the achievement is carefully walk through the railways in the jetpack section, and near the end of it, use a grenade and a gravity hammer to jump into higher ground. A fourth way to unlock it is play the level normally and use armor abilities whatever you want, especially in the jetpack area; when the player reach a checkpoint, save the game, and then close MCC. After doing this, return to the game and finish the level; the game will register you didn't used armor abilities and the achievement will be unlocked.
Trivia The name of the achievement refers to previous titles in the series not having any kind of sprint or armor abilities, meaning the achievement is unlocked by completing the level "the classic way".

Cleansing is the eleventh campaign level of ''Halo Wars''. This is the first the player can control HRUNTING Mark III (B) Cyclops|Cyclopses, and second level to control the XRP12 Gremlin|Gremlin.
After the is pulled beneath the surface of Trove|an unknown planet, it is revealed that there are Flood on the ship and Sergeant John Forge is tasked with cleaning them off.
Summary The enters the entrance portal to interior Dyson sphere of Trove, surrounded by Aggressor Sentinels. Soon into the journey, the Flood are detected on the ship's outer hull.
In order to pass through the docking rings, Sergeant John Forge and the ''Spirit of Fire's'' crew work to cleanse the ship's hull of the Flood while avoiding the Sentinels and cleansing ring sent by the installation's AI. After a struggle, the ''Spirit of Fire's'' forces manage to clear the hull and the ship makes it through the entrance portal.
Transcript
''The is seen going through the split in the ocean. The ''Spirit of Fire'' activates its headlights as the split behind it closes. Aggressor Sentinels continue to fly around the ''Spirit of Fire''. One flies in front of the bridge and observes Captain Cutter before flying off.''
Serina: "This is all part of the plan... right, guys?"
''The ship continues to fly through what appears to be a massive underground Forerunner structure.''
{''In-Game Cutscene''}
Captain James Gregory Cutter: "Serina, report! What's going on here?"
''Two Sentinels fly towards where the Spartans, Forge, and some Marines fight off Flood. Flood dispersal pods start dropping everywhere, one of them hits one of the Sentinels. The UNSC forces eliminate a few approaching infection forms.''
Serina: "Best guess, we're being pulled through some sort of docking system. That Flood|alien life form followed us in, we have a significant infestation on the aft quarter."
Cutter: "Forge, get out there and get those things off my ship!"
{''Gameplay''}
Cutter: "You can requisition troops from the airlocks on the deck, if we lose those airlocks, we'll be defenseless."
''More Sentinels fly in, as well as a couple of Protector Sentinel|Protectors being lead in groups by Sentinels. More Flood dispersal pods drop and land on the hull.''
Serina: "Those aliens are dropping pods on the hull from all around us, keep watch for them."
''The UNSC forces continue to eliminate Flood forms.''
Serina: "Alien population on the hull is increasing, and the structure is reacting, more of those sentinel|drones inbound too."
''In addition of the Flood, the UNSC forces also destroyed the Sentinels.''

Serina: "Bad news, I intercepted a signal from the alien AI. Those drones have declared us a threat and are massing behind us."
Forerunner AI: "Decontamination sequence commencing."
Serina: "Sergeant Forge, get your men into the airlocks. Something very bad is coming."
{''In-Game Cutscene''}
''A formation of Hornets fly over the aft hull as more Flood dispersal pod drop onto the hull. The ''Spirit of Fire'' is going through a ring-shaped energy field, which is clearing away the Flood from her hull.''
Serina: "The energy field is reacting to the aliens, it's trying to clean our hull, take cover out there!"
{''Gameplay''}
Serina: "Captain, if our air units fly through the ring in the opposite direction it will minimize damage."
''Flood structures that were regenerated are removed by the energy field.''
Serina: "The drones and the cleansing ring seem to be able to remove the aliens if they're already damaged."
''A timer appears: 02:00. Once the countdown reaches zero, the Forerunner AI will make an announcement, and the ''Spirit of Fire'' flies through the next cleansing energy field. This will continue until all the Flood is cleared off the ship.''
''When enough Sentinels are killed, Super Sentinels will show up to help the Aggressor Sentinels and Protector Sentinels.''
''Once the countdown to the second ring reaches zero:''
Forerunner AI: "Decontamination sequence commencing."
Sergeant John Forge (COM): "Take cover! Another cleansing wave is coming."
''Once the countdown to the third ring reaches zero:''
Forerunner AI: "Decontamination sequence commencing."
Forge (COM): "The ring is back!"
Cutter: "Two AC-220 Vulture|Vultures have just finished repairs, they're yours to command."
''Once the countdown to the fourth ring reaches zero:''
Forerunner AI: "Decontamination sequence commencing."
Serina: "Take cover!"
''The UNSC forces destroy all of the Flood structures and forms.''
Forge (COM): "All clear! The hull is clean."
Cutter: "Serina, maximum power to the engines. Get us out of here!"

Production notes File:HW BossSentinel InGame.jpg|thumb|The cut Sentinel boss in-game. At an earlier point in this level's Development of Halo Wars|development, the level was intended to feature a Cut Halo Wars units#Cut Sentinel boss|Sentinel boss fight. The Sentinel's capabilities are unknown, though images uploaded by artist Robert Walden indicate that the Sentinel boss would have been four-to-five times the size of even the Super Sentinels, and emit projectiles akin to a plasma mortar. The unit's model files remain inside ''Halo Wars''.
Interestingly, the cut Sentinel boss design was later reused as the Protector Sentinel (Installation 00)|Protector Sentinel in ''Halo Wars 2''.
Trivia Near the start, Sentinels are shown as yellow blips on the mini-map, but after the first ring comes, they are shown as red blips. On closer inspection, one will notice that the whole level is an optical illusion, as the ''Spirit of Fire'' is not actually moving, the walls are. This can be seen properly if one moves the camera up against the tunnel walls and looks at the ''Spirit of Fire''.

This is a short mission if you want it to be short. Start by constructing turrets near the airlocks and upgrading them to anti-infantry turrets, place your spartans here to help protect the airlocks. Create a ton of Hornets and start destroying The Flood on the rear of the vessel.
The ship will soon fly through a big energy field which disposes of most Flood, including the dead carcasses and destroyed buildings. It can also hurt your troops unless you place them within an airlock. Air troops cannot be placed in an airlock but they can be moved in the direction opposite to the shield's advance to minimize damage. Turrets also take damage so they should be healed or replaced when their health gets too low.
If the flood buildings still haven't been destroyed by the third wave of the shield, then two Vultures will come down to assist.
The 11th Black Boxes|Black Box can be found by a AV-14 Hornet|Hornet; Search the left side of the rear, as it's on a wing. The Skull in this level can be found after killing 100 Sentinels and then securing it by sending a Hornet to explore the front deck of the ship.
When the shield has passed over several times, while YOU make sure The Flood stays dead, the entire ship will be uncontaminated.

Clearance-of-Old-Forests was a Forerunner Miner. Circa 98,395 BCE, he accompanied the Librarian on the expedition to Path Kethona as a crew member of the ''Audacity''.
Biography Clearance-of-Old-Forests was from an ancient Miner family and had a blunt manner of speaking characteristic of Miners. After the second-last jump to Path Kethona, for the duration of which the crew had entered stasis due to excessive reconciliation effects, Clearance handed out drinks infused with restoratives to the other Forerunners. He noted that the Librarian looked unwell and gave her a double dose of the restoratives. She noted that Clearance looked out of place too; he agreed, stating that he found the complete emptiness of the intergalactic void distressing, being more comfortable near planets.Halo: Silentium, ''String 4''
Over the course of the journey, Clearance made occasional sardonic comments to the Builder members of the crew, being teased in return several times. When the crew discovered a series of undeniably ancient Probability mirror|causality-adjustment constructs, Clearance assessed that the structures may have been Forerunner in origin. When crew members of higher rates showed approval of this theory, he made a rather unconvincing attempt to conceal his pride at his hypothesis. He was the first to voice the obvious fact that the ancient, long-abandoned Forerunner fleet they later discovered was a fleet of war, sent out millions of years ago to carry out a Forerunner-Precursor war|massive campaign of extermination unrecorded in Forerunner history.Halo: Silentium, ''String 8''
After the crew discovered a planet with a population of Sedaaro Forerunner|primitive Forerunner relatives, Clearance remarkedperhaps jokinglythat the locals were all Miners, as they had to dig to find materials for their stone and clay buildings. The Librarian had Clearance stay by their Seeker (vehicle)|seeker transports and stand watch in the event anything went wrong while she and Chant-to-Green went to greet the locals. Clearance was highly apprehensive of the Librarian's choice to forgo her Forerunner personal armor|armor and returned to his seeker immediately as the natives began to surround the Lifeworkers. When one old female bit the Librarian, Clearance flew the seeker over them, scattering the crowd and retrieving the two Lifeworkers. Clearance strongly protested the Librarian's decision to leave her bite wound untreated, pointing out that he and the rest of the crew were responsible for her.Halo: Silentium, ''String 10''
The next day, Clearance, Chant and the Librarian returned to the town where the Librarian met with the old female who had bitten her, with the intention of learning more about the people's origins. Following the instructions of the elder, named Glow-of-Old-Suns, Clearance took the party's seeker to a valley housing what turned out to be a biological analog to the Forerunners' Domain, recording and storing the local history dating back ten million years. After the Librarian had spent some time tapping into this biological reservoir and learning the truth about the origin of the locals, Clearance and the rest of the crew returned to the ecumene aboard the ''Audacity''.Halo: Silentium, ''String 11''

Cleveland is a city|major city in Ohio, United Republic of North America on Earth. The city is viewed as a resort area. An older part of Cleveland also exists, which is named Old Cleveland.
History In the fall of 2552, the Covenant Battle of Cleveland|attacked the city during the Battle for Earth in search of the fictitious Key of Osanalan.
Trivia The Jacobs Field sign can be seen in the background of a panel in ''Halo: Uprising'' Issue #2. However, after ''Uprising'' was published, the Indians' stadium was renamed Progressive Field. Other signs around Jacobs Field indicate that the Indians were about to play the Angels, meaning baseball is still being played in 2552. Additionally, after ''Uprising'' was published the Cleveland Indians name changed to Cleveland Guardians effective 2022.

Cleyell was a Human colonies|colony planet of the Unified Earth Government located among the Outer Colonies.
History
During the Human-Covenant War, Cleyell was attacked and partially Glassing|glassed by the Covenant in 2549. However, the United Nations Space Command was evidently able to repel the Covenant forces, though only a single city on the planet survived the Covenant's assault. Cleyell remained untouched for the remainder of the Covenant War and the colony's remaining population continued to live on the planet.
}}
Following the Covenant War, although the Covenant had been dissolved, Cleyell was attacked in 2556 by a Covenant remnants|remnant of the former alien empire who subsequently glassed the remaining city on the planet. With hostile Kig-Yar raiders scavenging Cleyell's surface, the survivors contacted the Unified Earth Government for assistance. In response, the UNSC launched Mission to Cleyell|a massive rescue operation to Cleyell that included UNSC Marine Corps' Orbital Drop Shock Troopers and elements of the UNSC Army's 412th Engineer Command aboard . After arriving at Cleyell, upon the suggestion of Sergeant Holly Tanaka, a lieutenant commander aboard ''Cascadia'' deployed Army and Marine search-and-rescue teams to rescue the stranded colonists on the surface, rescuing dozens of colonists from death or Slavery|enslavement at the hands of the Kig-Yar.

Cliffhanger is a multiplayer arena map that was included in ''Halo Infinite''s Season 03: Echoes Within.
Universe and lore Cliffhanger is set in and around the Office of Naval Intelligence's ONI Ilex Facility|Ilex Facility, a Wikipedia:Black site|black site atop an ice-covered mountain on an unknown planet. This ONI facility was established as early as 2555 with the launch of the Zeta Halo project and it is dedicated to the study and analysis of UNSC findings brought back from Installation 07. Particular attention has been invested in attempting to reverse engineer Forerunner architectural structures, as well as construction and Reformation|remediation techniques utilized within the species various facilities. However, in order to replicate such systems, it would require immense amounts of power and creative solutions on an equally immense scale.
Overview
The following are locations on the map that are so named on the player's heads-up display during gameplay:
Cliffside Trail Platform Antenna Deck Pipes Hex Roof

Production notes Biome diversity was a major consideration for the art team when designing Cliffhanger. The team wanted it to feel different from other maps based around human structures. Cliffhanger was first designed with zone control modes like King of the Hill and Strongholds in mind, which led the design team to ensure that each "zone" has a unique look and feel. Another goal when designing the map was the emphasis of environmental control and ownership of power positions.
Easter eggs Several cave paintings can be found on the map.
*In the tunnel between Tanks and Radiator, a cave painting can be found depicting a stick figure of John-117 defending a herd of sheep from two wolves.
*At Cliffside Trail across from the power weapon spawn pad, a cave painting can be found depicting two pigeons rendered in the style of the Wikipedia:Nazca Lines|Nazca Lines. The left pigeon features the symbol representing the mysterious organization Evangelion:SEELE|SEELE from the ''Wikipedia:Neon Genesis Evangelion|Neon Genesis Evangelion'' franchise, possibly intending to draw connections between SEELE and ONI. The right pigeon wears a hard hat and a safety vest, referencing the pigeon-themed art on the map Streets.
**In one of the concept arts for Cliffhanger, it shows one of the pigeons screaming "Zenkoku na tenshi no you ni", this being the first line of "Zankoku na Tenshi no These" ("A Cruel Angel's Thesis"), ''Neon Genesis Evangelion'''s theme song. On the ledge with the sleeping bag on Cliffside Trail, Wikipedia:Pixel art|pixel art of a pigeon wearing a MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|MJOLNIR Mark VI helmet can be found.

Clinquant, also known as the Composer's Forge, is an artificial planet constructed by the Forerunner rate of Builders. The Composers are designed and built at the Composer's Forge. The planet's monitor is 859 Static Carillon.
History
Sometime around the New Phoenix Incident, a slipspace portal|service portal between the Composer's Forge and Installation 03 opened, likely as a result of the recent relocation or destruction of the Composer stored on the Halo. In response, 859 Static Carillon attempted to contact Installation 03's monitor, 049 Abject Testament. However, Gamma Halo's monitor remained unresponsive and Static Carillon left the Forge and entered the portal to investigate Abject Testament's silence. Static Carillon emerged from the now empty Composer's Abyss on Installation 03 and soon encountered the Ur-Didact. Upon recognizing him as the monitor of the Composer's Forge, the Didact demanded that the monitor bring him to the Forge.
On 2557|July 26, 2557, SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II Blue Team discovered the portal in Installation 03's Composer's Abyss and entered it, arriving in the city that surrounded the Composer's Forge. The Spartans discovered the Composer's Forge and the six Composers it held. Shortly after, they were confronted by the Didact. Although the Spartans attempted to attack the Didact, they were swiftly incapacitated by the Promethean. The Didact called upon his Promethean constructs to attack the Spartans. After Static Carillon had Installation 03 appear over the Composer's Forge, the Didact departed the installation for the Halo. Blue Team, with the help of Static Carillon, followed after the Forerunner and re-entered the portal leading to Installation 03. The monitor stayed behind for some time to close the portal, after which it traveled to Installation 03, just in time to save Blue Team from the Didact.
John-117 confronted the Didact in Gamma Halo's control room whilst disabling the safeties, which allowed Static Carillon to detach the segment of the Halo housing the control center and plunge it toward the Composer's Forge. The Halo fragment impacted the Forge, presumably destroying the five Composers housed there and successfully digitizing the Didact.

Clipping is a collision-related glitches|glitch that allows a fast-moving object to pass right through another object. The glitch is common in many games, including the Halo universe|Halo Trilogy, and its name is likely derived from the term, "Wikipedia:Noclip mode|noclip".
Explanation Clipping occurs when an object moves so rapidly that it passes through a wall, surface, or other object, without any collision occurring. This happens because of how collision detection works.
On every frame of animation, the game's collision detection engine checks all objects' positions. If two objects are touching or intersecting, then the game knows that a collision has occurred, and steps are taken to handle it.
The flaw, though, is that if an object moves extremely fast, then there may not be any frames of animation where it actually intersects a wall. On one frame of animation, it would be on one side of the wall; on the next frame of animation, it would be on the other side. Most collision detection engines do not check for movement between frames, so such an error would not be corrected, and the fast-moving object would continue its movement.
A typical frame rate for video games is 30 FPS. This means that extremely high speeds are required to clip through a wall. ''Halo 3'' 's Panoramic camera mode|Pan Cam, for example, can be used to clip through Invisible Walls|invisible walls in Theater, but only after it is accelerated to at least fifty thousand times the normal speed.

File:HW2 CloakingGenerator.png|thumb|300px|A cloaking generator on Installation 00. Cloaking generators are fortification structures employed by the Banished, typically for Banished outpost|their outposts.
Overview Based on reverse-engineered stealth pylons utilised by the Covenant, cloaking generators were used by the Banished to hide from the Covenant during their early days. They were later improved by Huragok that were coerced into working for the Banished, and saw more use for preparing ambushes. Cloaking generators generate a cloaking field that conceals infantry, vehicle, and aircraft within its area of effect; during the Battle of Netherop (2559)|Battle of Netherop in 2559, Atriox used a cloaking generator to hide the drekar ''Hammer of Fate'' and four karves on the surface of one of Netherop's two moons. The cloaking generator shares the same housing as the Banished shield generator|shield generator.

Cloaking is an infantry-portable active camouflage module developed by the Covenant.
Overview
While active camouflage technology was reverse-engineered from Forerunner technology by the Huragok, Cloaking modules specifically were developed by the Jiralhanae, intended for use against the United Nations Space Command or heretic factions within the Covenant itself.
They visually resemble the Invincibility modules used by the Jiralhanae, though with a blue colouration as opposed to gold. When activated, they grant the user a single-use temporary active camouflage field lasting for roughly twelve seconds. Unlike Armor abilities|armor ability modules like the Type-3 active camouflage|Type-3 Refraction Dissonance Modifier/Camouflage, the cloaking field is only a single-use item and cannot be used again once expended.
Gameplay
Cloaking appears as a form of equipment in ''Halo 3''. Once activated, it has the same basic function as active camouflage from ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 2'': it renders the user nearly invisible. Unlike active camouflage in the previous games, cloaking is a piece of equipmentit can be activated whenever the player chooses to, whereas active camouflage is automatically activated when the player collects it. In addition to being more portable, cloaking is also more effective in ''Halo 3'' than ''Combat Evolved''s active camouflage - while in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the entire body can be seen faintly, in ''Halo 3'', only a faint shimmer can be noticed. There is a disadvantage to cloaking, however -- it only lasts for ten seconds, after which its effect fades over the course of an additional two seconds.
Like active camouflage, firing a weapon, performing a melee, tossing a grenade or coming under fire slowly begins to disrupt the effects of invisibility and brings the user into sight. Cloaking also does not mask environmental effects or any shadows cast by the user, so it is less effective on maps where footprints can be left or where shadows can easily be seen.
The symbol for the cloaking on the heads-up display resembles the active camouflage power-up from the first two games - a triangle with an eye in the middle. Enemies will not notice you while you are camouflaged as long as you do not do anything to disrupt it, as noted above, or bump into them. If you activate it in plain sight during a battle, enemies will still know your location. It should be noted that Jiralhanae Chieftain|Brute Chieftains can occasionally sense your location, turning slowly as you move and attacking if you get within a few feet.
Cloaking can be found on many levels in campaign, but it is not present in multiplayer. Cloaking is first seen in ''Halo 3''s second campaign level, Crow's Nest. Cloaking appears most frequently on the ''Halo 3'' Campaign level Cortana (level)|Cortana. It can be quite helpful on Heroic, Legendary, and Mythic (difficulty)|Mythic.
Trivia Like the Invincibility, the Cloaking module's design is based on that of a Cut Halo 3 weapons#Bubble shield|early revision of the Z-4190 bubble shield|bubble shield. In the ''Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)'' and its Halo Encyclopedia (2011 edition)|2011 reprint, an image is shown of a Cloaking module in its activate state using an image of the early bubble shield's model.

The seal can be found on United States Wikipedia:Federal Reserve Note|Federal Reserve Notes.

The Clockwork Rat is a fictional character in Perdita's Story, an introspective parable by the Sleeping Princess, in which he serves as the chief antagonist.
Physical Description The Clockwork Rat is, as his name implies, a mechanical rat built from various mundane objects.''Perdita's Story'', Perdita%27s_Story#Chapter_2:_The_Clockwork_Rat|Chapter 2: ''It was a Clockwork Rat, with wires for whiskers and a rubber wiper-blade for a tail, and pointy ears made from open safety pins. Instead of claws it had tiny hooked scissors on the ends of its feet, the kind that doctors use to cut you up. The creature was so terrified its whole body shook and made little rattling noises, and its tin teeth, which looked like they had been made from the scraps under her father's workbench, were chattering furiously.'' His ears are made of open safety pins; his tail is made from a rubber wiper-blade; his whiskers are made from wires; his eyes are made from ball-bearings;''Perdita's Story'', Perdita%27s_Story#Chapter_Five:_The_Path_of_Red_Balloons|Chapter 5: ''Click, snap, went the Clockwork Rat's little scissor claws, and when Perdita glanced at him, his ball bearing eyes were hard as steel.'' his claws are made from surgical scissors; his teeth are made from the scraps of tin from under Perdita's father's workbench. Additionally, the rat's voice is a high-pitched metallic squeak. While without an actual sex the rat is often referred to with male pronouns.
Role The Clockwork Rat is a deceptive and manipulative character, a representation of Dr. Catherine Halsey and the SPARTAN Program.Axons|Axon Media:ILB_A_little_sting.ogg|ILB_A_little_sting.ogg: ''Durga: On my 14th birthday they took me to a lab, and... a doctor came in, and... it was a... lady doctor in a white coat. And, the nurse brought out a steel tray covered in picks, and scalpels, that rattled when she walked.'' (...) ''I let them strap me down... And she, picked up this long needle, with some yellow liquid in it. Black bars like stripes at the milliliter markings... And she said, "this will hardly hurt a bit."''Axons|Axon Media:ILB_The_clockwork_rat.ogg|ILB_The_clockwork_rat.ogg: ''Durga: You all rescued me, and I'm so grateful. Only, some years had passed and I... I... I changed. Kamal: Yasmine, you're still there. Durga: No. She's not, Kamal. The Clockwork Rat got her. When caught by Perdita, he promises to help her survive and eventually find her way to her family.''Perdita's Story'', Perdita%27s_Story#Chapter_3:_Scraps|Chapter 3: ''The Rat promised he would show Perdita the way home, and at first the little girl's heart jumped for joy. But although the Rat was true to its word about finding safe dark holes to hide in, and scraps to eat of things almost like food, somehow they never seemed to find the humble tin-cutter's cottage.'' However, the rat secretly destroys the trail of Red Balloon|red balloons she leaves,''Perdita's Story'', Perdita%27s_Story#Chapter_4:_The_Looking-Glass|Chapter 4: ''But the Rat laughed with a sound like scalpels bouncing on a metal tray, and cut the string, and the red balloon went drifting up, up, up into the night sky. And that's the end.'' and in time alters her into a hideous cyborg while she sleeps.''Perdita's Story'', Perdita%27s_Story#Chapter_3:_Scraps|Chapter 3: ''It was still dark when she woke up, and she felt a throbbing pain in her hand. When she looked down, she found one of her thumbs was missing. In its place was the head of a pair of needle-nose pliers. She looked around for the Clockwork Rat. He was perched on the edge of a rusting barrel full of rain water, furiously washing something off his little scissor claws.''; ''When she woke up, there was a small electric iron at the bottom of her right leg instead of a foot, and something felt strange about her hair.''''Perdita's Story'', Perdita%27s_Story#Chapter_4:_The_Looking-Glass|Chapter 4: ''The next time Perdita woke up, she found an egg-beater where her left hand used to be, and when she bit her lip she found her teeth had gone all thin and flat and sharp as tin.''

History During the Fall of High Charity in 2552, a San'Shyuum flotilla|flotilla of San'Shyuum refugees were evacuated from the High Charity|station by a group including the Prelate Dhas Bhasvod, intending to chart a course for the shield world. By retreating to the shield world, the group intended to have a safe shelter from the firing of the Array, though the death of the Prophet of Truth and subsequent Covenant defeat in the Battle of Installation 00 meant the rings were ultimately never fired. By 2559, whether the flotilla had reached Cloister was unknown to both Bhasvod and Keepers of the One Freedom leader Castor. Cadence, of Edinburgh University, was convinced that the San'Shyuum had survived the Fall of High Charity and was able to secure a research grant from Eto 'Saljhoo (a Sangheili Xenoarchaeology|xenoarchaeologist in the Banished) to begin a search for the survivors.
Cloister is said to house Forerunner gene-forges within its myriad layers - these forges are the goal of the San'Shyuum search, who hope that they may save the species from extinction.

Close Call is a medal in ''Halo: Reach'', ''Halo 4'' and ''Halo 5: Guardians'' multiplayer, campaign, Firefight and Spartan Ops. It is awarded when a player kills an opponent when they themselves have no shields. The player receives the medal when their shields begin to recharge, signifying that they have survived the encounter.
In the ''Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta|Halo: Reach Beta'' it was awarded when a player killed an opponent when they had no shields and had one health bar. Most players died once this medal had been received, as the player was extremely vulnerable to enemy fire once it had been acquired. In the Halo Reach Beta, the announcer verbally announced the medal but does not in the final game, possibly because playtesters found it annoying.

Close Quarters Combat is an achievement in ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'' and ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection''. It is awarded for having at least four sniper rifle rounds left at the end of the level The Truth and Reconciliation. In the original game it is represented by four sniper rifle bullets surrounded by a purple octagon; in ''The Master Chief Collection'' it is represented by a screenshot of Infinity (Halo: Combat Evolved map)|Infinity (strangely, sharing its image with the That Just Happened achievement).
The Achievement is worth 25 Gamerscore in the original game; in ''The Master Chief Collection'' it is only worth 10 points.
Tips Reaching the end of the level with at least four sniper rounds remaining should not be difficult for most players. A player running low can find one cache of sniper ammunition in the brig in which Keyes is being held, and a second cache is just outside the ship's bridge. Playing through the level with the Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary skulls#Bandanna|Bandanna skull will completely eliminate the need to conserve ammo, so the player only needs to remember not to swap out their sniper rifle, something that should not be a problem as the sniper is, understandably, a weapon with no peers in the level.

The Closed Fist is a special variant of the Z-110 Boltshot|Z-110 Directed Energy Pistol/Exotic. Its appearance is identical to that of a standard Boltshot, albeit with the addition of orange stripes flowing through the weapon's main housing, particularly at the top and bottom areas.''Halo 5: Guardians'' - ''Multiplayer''
Background The ''Closed Fist'' is a named variant of the Z-110 DEP/E, which is depicted with a 50% larger ammo capacity over standard Boltshots and a faster rate of fire. It is noted for being the left hand of Endurance-of-Will, a Promethean Knight who served as the Ur-Didact's loyal lieutenant. She carried it, alongside the ''Open Hand'' on her right hand, in the final years prior to Great Purification|the firing of the Halo Array.
In late 2558, both the ''Closed Fist'' and ''Open Hand'' were later integrated into War Games simulations for use by SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IVs aboard the via a method that remains a closely guarded secret among Office of Naval Intelligence personnel.
Gameplay
The ''Closed Fist'' is depicted as an Uncommon Level 2 Requisition system|REQ that grants 75 REQ Points when sold. Its operation is exactly the same as that of a normal Boltshot except that it now fires more quickly, has a 50% larger magazine size, and can carry up to 216 total rounds (72 trigger pulls). These improvements make the ''Closed Fist'' a stronger version of the Boltshot that allows it to compete with loadout weapons like the BR85 battle rifle|Battle Rifle and M395 DMR#M395B Designated Marksman Rifle|DMR, especially with its high round count per magazine that gives its users more time to take down enemies more quickly than with a Battle Rifle or normal Boltshot. In addition, the ''Closed Fist'' can be used to deal with enemies in vehicles like Karo'wark-pattern Ghost|Ghosts, M12B Warthog|Warthogs, and M290 Mongoose|Mongooses.
As with every Boltshot model, Spartans can use thruster evades to avoid the ''Closed Fist''s tracking rounds.
Changes from the Z-110 Directed Energy Pistol/Exotic
50% larger magazine size (24 36). Increased maximum spare ammo count (72 180). Faster rate of fire. Main light on the weapon does not turn off when the weapon is used with Smart-Link.

The Club Errera Easter egg is an Easter egg in ''Halo: Reach'' that is only found in the campaign level ''New Alexandria''.Halo: Reach, campaign level ''New Alexandria''
Description The easter egg requires the player to turn on switches located on top of two buildings, which then make the Covenant forces in Club Errera to start dancing to either Never Surrender or Siege of Madrigal.
Walkthrough
Wait until the waypoint on Club Errera is activated. Do not go to Club Errera, and do not kill anyone there. Fly to the hospital, and look for a platform with two trees on the main building (the one with the blue symbol at the top, not the one with the jammer in it), towards the bottom near the walkways connecting to the other buildings. Land on the platform and activate the green switch on the wall.
Upon returning to Club Errera, a Jiralhanae will act as a DJ, with multiple dancing Unggoy throughout the club. Three more Jiralhanae are found acting as bartenders to the left and right side of the club, as well as beneath the club entrance, who will sometimes start dancing like the Unggoy when the music stops. Never Surrender can be heard.
File:HR NA NeverSurrender Switch.png|The first switch's location at the lower levels of the New Alexandria Hospital (highlighted). File:HR NA NeverSurrender Switch Pad.png|The landing pad where the switch is located (the switch itself is located left, off-screen).
To hear "the Siege of Madrigal," head to the top of the Vyrant Telecom Tower|Vyrant Tower where the club is located and land on the roof. Underneath the ducts next to the ramp to the metal platform is another green switch. Activate it and return to the club. Inside, the Covenant will start dancing to Siege of Madrigal. The Covenant will ignore the player and dance unless the player fires at them.
File:HR NA Madrigal Switch.png|The switch location on top of the Vyrant tower.
If the player kills any of the Jiralhanae or Unggoy, or destroys the communications jammer, the music will stop and the remaining Brutes will attack the player. If Never Surrender is playing the Unggoy will also attack the player; if the Siege of Madrigal is playing the Unggoy will continue to dance.

Trivia The "dancing" performed by the Unggoy and the lower Jiralhanae is actually a continuous chain of animations normally shown when Unggoy (or Jiralhanae) get hit by a M392 Designated Marksman Rifle|DMR bullet (because of the high velocity of the bullet, it causes the victim to recoil). Because of the nature of these animations themselves and the frequency of their initiation during the easter egg, the animation chains appear dance-like. Although the Jiralhanae appear to be completely unarmed while the music is playing, their weapons (either Elo'Nakada-pattern concussion rifle|Concussion Rifles or Paegaas Workshop Spiker|Brute Spikers) actually float in between their feet until the player attacks or activates the Jammer. It is sometimes impossible to assassinate any of the Jiralhanae while the music is playing.

File:0044-CIV-ClubErrera-logo1.png|thumb|150px|The Club Errera logo. Club Errera was a night club in the city of New Alexandria (location)|New Alexandria on Reach, located in the top floors of the Vyrant Telecom Tower, one of the city's skyscrapers.
History During the Fall of Reach in 2552#August|August 23, 2552, Covenant Empire|the Covenant placed a Covenant communications jammer|communications jammer in the club. The United Nations Space Command|UNSC sent 4 Charlie|a trooper squad to destroy the jammer, but they failed to do so after they became pinned down by four Mgalekgolo. The jammer was later destroyed by SPARTAN-B312.
It appears Club Errera may have outlets in many more colonies besides Reach, as Motorsport Manager Erik Burch of AMG Transport Dynamics had hoped that the club would be a potential sponsor of his proposed Project HOGSTICKER|Project: HOGSTICKER, first pitched during the post-war era.
Production notes The club's name is a reference to Claude Errera, the founder and webmaster of Halo.bungie.org.

This CM 300 frontier rifle is a carbine variant of the MA3 series assault rifles employed by the United Nations Space Command. It is colloquially known as the "Confetti Maker" due to its abnormally high rate of fire.
Overview
The CM 300 was introduced in the late-24th century as a carbine variant of the MA3A assault rifle, intended for use by colonial settlers and security forces. The weapon boasts an extremely high rate of fire leading to its affectionate nickname "Confetti Maker", and are grossly inaccurate at any kind of appreciable range, with an effective range of 30 metres.
The carbine fires 7.62x51mm|7.62mm (.30 cal) ammunition, and is compatible with armor piercing rounds such as the MUTA-AP-09334.
The CM 300 was originally designed for use by colonists during the ''Domus Diaspora''. The weapon proved to be immensely popular, leading to unlicensed copies to be produced ''en masse'' well over a century later. As such, surplus CM 300s were a staple weapon of Insurrectionist forces during the Insurrection and other criminals. A common practice in this manner was to pair the CM 300 carbine with high-capacity magazines for improvised use as a Machine gun|light machine gun.
Though retired from UNSC service, it had become popular on the black market by 2531. In that year the Confetti Maker served as the standard weapon of the United Rebel Front cell led by General Howard Graves on the planet Victoria.

CMA ''Argo'' was a United Nations Space Command|UNSC-built scout ship operated by the Colonial Military Authority.Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition), ''page 69'' (2011) Though small, it was equipped with a Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine. ''Argo'' was one of the first human vessels to come into contact with the Covenant.
History On 2525#February|February 3, 2525, contact was lost with the Unified Earth Government Outer Colony of Harvest, in the Epsilon Indi system. In response, CMA ''Argo'' was dispatched to the planet to investigate the sudden loss of communications. Upon arriving in the system on 2525#April|April 20, 2525, the ship sent a brief transmission back, informing its location after dropping out of slipstream space. However, contact was lost with ''Argo'' directly after and no further reports were made by the vessel. Upon arriving at Harvest, ''Argo'' came across the Covenant cruiser ''Rapid Conversion'' in orbit, still in the process of glassing the planet. Jotun Heavy Industries|JOTUNs under the control of Mack, Harvest's agricultural artificial intelligence, witnessed ''Argo'' enter Harvest's orbit and tried to warn the ship off, but, with communications options limited, Mack was unable to warn them in time. ''Argo'' was destroyed by ''Rapid Conversion'' when it strayed too close to the cruiser.Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe, ''page 268'' (2011)Halo: Contact Harvest, ''page 393'' With communications lost with ''Argo'', the CMA and UNSC Fleet Command sent Battle Group 4, lead by Captain (Navy)|Captain Maribeau Veredi aboard ''CMA Heracles|Heracles'', to Harvest to discover the fate of the planet and ''Argo''.
Trivia The ship was presumably named after the Wikipedia:Argo|''Argo'', Jason's ship in Greek mythology. It was said to have been planned or constructed with the help of the goddess Athena, and on which Jason and the Argonauts sailed to Colchis to retrieve the Golden Fleece. The vessel was named after her shipwright, Argus.

CMA ''Heracles'' was a in service with the Colonial Military Authority. ''Heracles'' was commanded by Captain (Navy)|Captain Maribeau Veredi and the destroyer served as the lead ship of Battle Group 4.
History
On 2525#February|February 3, 2525, contact was lost with the Unified Earth Government Outer Colony of Harvest, in the Epsilon Indi system. In response, the Colonial Military Authority sent the scout ship CMA Argo|''Argo'' to investigate. The scout ship arrived in the system on 2525#April|April 20, but transmissions from ''Argo'' ended shortly after. As the issue became more serious, UNSC Fleet Command and the CMA sent Battle Group 4consisting of ''Heracles'', along with CMA Arabia|''Arabia'' and CMA Vostok|''Vostok''into the Epsilon Indi system to discover why the Colonial Administration Authority had lost contact with Harvest.
''Heracles'' and the rest of Battle Group 4 arriving in the system on 2525#October|October 7. Upon traveling to Harvest, the crew of the destroyer discovered that the planet's once-verdant surface had been Glassing|destroyed and that ''Argo'' was missing. While at Harvest, ''Heracles'' recovered a RQ-XII drone left behind eight months earlier by , the sloop of Jilan al-Cygnian Office of Naval Intelligence operative. The battle group soon detected a Covenant , ''Heaven's Brilliant Bier'', in orbit over the planet. Following protocol, ''Heracles'' attempted to initiate communications with the ship. The interdictor responded by broadcasting the message: "''Your destruction is the will of the gods, and we are their instrument''", and then opened fire. After a brief exchange of fire that lasted less than fourteen seconds, ''Arabia'' and ''Vostok'' were destroyed and ''Heracles'' was forced to retreat. Due to the extensive damage it had taken during the skirmish, ''Heracles'' took several weeks to return to Reach in the Epsilon Eridani system. While the ship was repaired at Reach, the sensors logs of ''Heracles'' were analyzed to give Central Command|CENTCOM some knowledge on their new enemy. Battle Group 4's contact with the interdictor eventually led to the Battle of Harvest, which resulted in a pyrrhic UNSC victory and the destruction of the Covenant ship.
Production notes In the ''Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)'' and its Halo Encyclopedia (2011 edition)|2011 reprint, the ''Heracles'' is incorrectly identified as the "UNSC ''Heracles''", a mistake carried to the other CMA vessels of Battle Group 4. This issue is also present in ''Halo Wars: Genesis'', in which the ''Heracles'' crew are shown to wear UNSC Navy Service Uniforms.
Trivia The ship was named after Wikipedia:Heracles|Heracles, a legendary hero from List of Greek mythology references in Halo|Greek mythology.
