Note on the use of material from the infamous Half-Life 2 Beta in the Combine OverWiki
As many Half-Life 2 fans know, most if not all material from the Beta was stolen from Valve in 2003. Therefore, possessing these files is somehow illegal. Although the Combine OverWiki does not encourage piracy and does not provide any direct link to these files, the existence of this material cannot be ignored, as it constitutes a vital source for behind-the-scenes information for Half-Life 2.

Featured article
The Borealis is an Aperture Science research vessel introduced in Half-Life 2: Episode Two. According to Isaac Kleiner, Aperture was working on a promising project, but in their rush to beat Black Mesa for funding, they neglected ordinary safety rules and it appears that the ship simply disappeared with parts of her dry dock, which earned her an almost legendary stature. It is assumed that the Borealis contained an immensely powerful and dangerous secret.Did you know...
