The Covenant discovered the location of Installation 04 after the Covenant [[Fleet of Particular Justice]] followed the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, which was fleeing from the [[Fall of Reach]] through [[slipspace]]. The Halos are deeply ingrained into the Covenant's [[Covenant religion|religious dogma]], but prior to this discovery they had never actually found one. Due to the Covenant's faster slipspace capabilities, they arrived before the ''Pillar of Autumn''. | The Covenant discovered the location of Installation 04 after the Covenant [[Fleet of Particular Justice]] followed the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, which was fleeing from the [[Fall of Reach]] through [[slipspace]].
