The main room of the structure.
The Relic, as it is referred by The Covenant, is a Forerunner underground structure located at the northern polar region of Harvest. It is apparently a some sort of galactic map room, as when activated, it shows a holographic map of numerous nearby star systems.[1]
Description
The entrance to the complex.
The structure is an underground complex buried under the northern polar region of Harvest. It consists of a large main room with a deep chasm cutting through it. The sides are connected by two Energy Bridges going across the chasm. The main room is connected to the entrance by a large corridor. The room is largely symmetrical, with some differences on each side.
In the back of the main room, there's a circular chasm with a platform on it, accessible by a bridge. On the platform there's a spherical activation console and a hologram projector, which, when activated, projects a holographic map of nearby star systems.
There are also a number of smaller doors around the main room, as well as the corridor. It is unknown where these lead, but it is likely that the underground complex is much larger than the area seen.[2]
History
Arbiter discussing with the Prophet of Regret in the main room.
- Main article: Battle of the Relic
Five years after the Covenant had glassed Harvest, they found this installation. The Prophet of Regret ordered the Arbiter to search the Relic and hopefully bring a key to activate the Apex installation on the Flood-controlled Shield World.
The UNSC was also interested in the structure. After intercepting numerous Covenant communiques referring to the structure, logistical support ship, the UNSC Spirit of Fire, sent troops near the Relic to find out what the Covenant were looking for.
After the Arbiter had obtained necessary information from the Relic, The Prophet of Regret ordered him to destroy it, to prevent it from falling into human hands. However, UNSC forces breached the Covenant defenses and prevented them from destroying the structure. After this, they entered the underground complex, and professor Ellen Anders activated the star map. Some cloaked elites attacked the humans, who managed to escape the structure with the help of two Grizzly tanks.
Trivia
- The design of the relic interior bears some resemblance to the underground tunnels in the Halo: Combat Evolved level Assault on the Control Room.
