User:RelentlessRecusant/Contingency Operating Base Valiant

Contingency Operating Base Valiant, otherwise known as Mission Staging Site Valiant and later named Forward Operating Base Valiant, was one of nearly a hundred unmanned, autonomous bases constructed in remote tracts of surviving UNSC colony worlds by the UNSC Strategic Command in the aftermath of the Great War under the purview of Operation Deacon. Situated atop a seven-kilometer-tall mountain on the hyperborean foundry world Dashan, it was intended to act as a clandestine mission staging area for the preposition and deployment of special operations forces during low-visibility operations in times of low-intensity conflict. In the event of major theater warfare and the destruction of major central UNSC military installations, remote bases like Contingency Operating Base Valiant would be rallying points for UNSC survivors to launch counterattacks against the aggressor. As such, Contingency Operating Base was a highly scalable facility that could host both small special operations task forces as well as major multiservice UNSC strike forces, depending on the exigent situation at hand.

In 2560, a Contingency Strike Force One strike team would be the first tenant of Contingency Operating Base Valiant since its construction.
