Rapbehscandal: We do not control, host, or own any of the

I’ve always wanted to be given visual insight on what a UNSC planetary airbase would be/look like. It’s likely that they have them because of the military still having a “Wet Navy” and military bases with landing fields like Halo 3’s multiplayer map, The Pit. (in Halo: Reach’s/Halo 2 Anniversary’s art style and in the 2552 timeline)I can see a massive aerial landing field that spreads for miles holding rows and rows of spaced out landed shortswords, longswords, pelicans, darters, hornets, hawks, and falcons spreading along the massive airfield in sections with wide open runways not for taking off, but for vehicle and personnel transportation, and including towing pathways. There would probably be a central command building accompanied by sections of barracks and large hangars spread out along the airfield, including an air traffic control tower that would also be around its area. In some other areas of the airfield along the runways would probably be elevator pads to accessibly transport aircraft and landcraft from within underground hangars and garages below the airbase to the surface and from the surface back underground. A bit a ways away from the central section of the airbase might probably be a radar station that is surrounded by transport runways and garages to house surface supplies not stored underground within the airbase and outposts that would have elevators for personnel and small supply vehicles to use for surface-subsurface access. Along the far perimeters of the expansive airfield and airbase altogether would be Scythe AA and Lance GMWS battery platforms jointed with small airview outposts positioned near them for perimeter visual observation. I also assume that the base would be outfitted with multiple air raid sirens that would sound if invading Covenant cruisers deployed seraphs, banshees, phantoms, and spirits onto the airbase’s position. If the base were under attack, I also assume that such an event would have Covenant aircraft bomb as many stored UNSC aircraft as possible while also aiming to knock out its AA platforms, and its radar and communications array(s) so that contact with an orbiting Human fleet is lost and a deployment of invading infantry forces could be sent in from dropships to gain control of the airfield’s location for strategic battle positions.
