Halo Array: Difference between revisions

In October 2559, the Banished succeeded in opening a slipspace portal to [[Reach]] through which Atriox and some of his forces returned to the Milky Way galaxy in a [[Eklon'Dal Workshop Lich]]. Before the portal was shut down, [[Castor]] and the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] hijacked Atriox's Lich and used it to fly back through the portal to the Ark, intending on using the Ark to fire the Halo Array and start the Great Journey.{{Ref/Novel|Id=SoR|SoR}} On the Ark, the Keepers allied themselves with [[Prelate]] [[Dhas Bhasvod]] and his [[Covenant loyalists]], guided by the Forerunner [[archeon-class ancilla]] [[Intrepid Eye]] who sought to fire the Halo Array in order to destroy the [[Domain]] and defeat [[Cortana]] for the sake of her own plans. The combined factions were opposed by both forces from the ''Spirit of Fire'' and the Banished spearheaded by the [[Clan of the Long Shields]] as neither the Banished nor the UNSC wanted Castor and Bhasvod to succeed. The Covenant and Keeper forces were able to reach [[Epsilon Clarion]], the only facility on the Ark capable of firing the Halo Array that was not inaccessible or inoperable. However, they suffered heavy casualties from UNSC and Banished [[Battle of Epsilon Clarion|attacks]] along the way and Castor abandoned his plans after learning the truth about the true purpose of Halo. On the order of [[Veta Lopis]], the ''Spirit of Fire'' launched an [[orbital bombardment]] of [[EMP]] [[MAC]] rounds that destroyed Epsilon Clarion and with it, Intrepid Eye and the Ark's ability to fire the Array. The Keepers were left decimated with only Castor and Sangheili [[Blademaster]] [[Inslaan 'Gadogai]] surviving while Bhasvod, after killing [[Mark-G313]], departed to link up with the rest of his own forces.{{Ref/Novel|Id=DW|DW}}
