Line Installation 9-12

Line Installation 9-12 (also simply referred to as "The Line") is a Forerunner installation located in the Maginot Line.

Background
Most of what is known about Line Installation 9-12 is inferred from known facts about its counterpart. The installation likely served as a Flood Research Facility, as well as a defensive installation. It was extremely efficient in this capacity, as it possessed a battery of powerful energy cannons capable even of downing capital ships in slipspace. The Installation presumably had its own Monitor in addition to a sizable force of Sentinels and special Gatherer units under its command. The Installation itself is a vast underground complex with tunnels and hallways reaching kilometers deep. The weapon batteries are extremely effective, with one relatively small area littered with the hulls of at least a dozen crashed starships.

History
The installation destroyed hundreds if not thousands of starships between the time of its construction and 2558. It was rediscovered by post-war scavengers whose vessel was forced down onto the planet's surface. The scavengers set up a camp in the debris field and began to loot treasure trove of wrecked human, Covenant and unidentified vessels. They were unable, however, to find a way off the world before their supplies ran out and by the time ONI pioneer teams arrived and began long-range scans of the planet, it was devoid of any signs of life.
