Monolith Polar HQ

The Monolith Polar Headquarters is an advanced research and development center that acts as the core of Monoliths operations. The base is located in the isolated North Pole of the planet Ballast.

Facilities
The base itself houses both research assets as well as logistical and combat assets. The bulk of the organizations critical functions seemed to be focused there including the Hyper Advanced Cloning Program, mass data logs, research labs and mission operation centers. Supplies of varying application appear to be available on-base but not as heavily amassed like the ones in the Shibi Plaza Storehouse.

Several key organization members were also stationed at the base, including the mission operator, Miguel, the entirety of Fireteam Darkhorse as well as Monoliths director, Dr. Ian Carabach.

Lineage: Huntress Volume II
In late October of 2555, Fireteam Darkhorse was deployed from the base to track down Agent Twenty-Seven, who had defected from the organization the night prior. Twenty-Seven would eventually return on her own seeking answers about Monoliths true purpose. She would interrogate Dr. Carabach after entering the base disguised as Agent Twenty-Eight. She would subsequently be captured and remained so until she was rescued by Gregg Waller. The duo went on to disable the safety locks on the bases geothermal generator. The following meltdown led to destruction of the base.

A large portion of Monolith staff and operatives died during the event, including Miguel. However, Carabach, Jax Rojas, Spartan Teller and Spartan had left the base shortly before and were not present for the meltdown.
