The '''Battle of Requiem''' was a series of skirmishes on the [[Forerunner]] [[shield world]] [[Requiem]] beginning on [[2557|July 21, 2557]].

In [[2552#December|December 2552]], the aft half of the {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}}, carrying [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan]] [[John-117]] and AI [[Cortana]], was transported via slipspace on a course toward Requiem after the [[Battle of Installation 00|last battle]] of the [[Human-Covenant War]]. Cortana activated ''Forward Unto Dawn''{{'}}s [[emergency locator beacon]] while the Spartan entered cryostasis.{{Ref/Level|Halo 3|[[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]]}} Within the next two years, [[Jul 'Mdama]] led his [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|forces]], an [[Covenant remnants|offshoot]] of the former Covenant going by the same name, to Requiem in search of the shield world's "treasure": he sought the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]], the leader of the [[Warrior-Servant|Forerunner military]], due to their mutual hatred of humanity. However, 'Mdama could not find a way into Requiem, so the fleet held station in orbit. On July 21, 2557, the ''Dawn'' entered the [[planet]]'s gravity well; 'Mdama sent his forces to board the frigate to keep any humans away.<ref>'''Halo 4''', ''[[Terminal (Halo 4)|Prologue Terminal "Jul 'Mdama"]]''</ref> As his Covenant troops entered the ship, Requiem began to scan the ''Dawn'' for a "[[Reclaimer]]".{{Ref/Reuse|Dawn}} | |||

The Spartan battled through the wreckage and managed to destroy the cruiser moments before it fired its energy projector. While on the outer hull, John was scanned by a beam coming from Requiem, which then opened its interior for the Reclaimer. ''Forward Unto Dawn'', along with several Covenant cruisers, was pulled into Requiem's interior. At least one cruiser was destroyed when a piece of wreckage from the ''Dawn'' impacted upon it as they were drawn into the shield world.{{Ref/Reuse|Dawn}} | ||

In an effort the warn ''Infinity'' of Requiem's gravity well, the Spartan-AI team disabled two energy pylons inside [[Core of Requiem|Requiem's core]] in order to eliminate interference emitted from a satellite in the core. When John attempted to contact ''Infinity'' in the satellite, it was revealed that the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]] had purposely manipulated ''Infinity''{{'}}s signal to trick John-117 into releasing him from his [[Cryptum]]. The Didact openly declared war on humanity and resumed control of his mechanized Prometheans; viewing the Didact as a living god, the Covenant forces followed suit. John escaped Requiem's core just as ''Infinity'' entered Requiem's outer shell.{{Ref/Level|Halo 4|[[Forerunner (level)|Forerunner]]}}{{clear}} | ||

Following the destruction of the gravity well generator, the Master Chief and Cortana began to push for Captain Del Rio and ''Infinity'' to assault the Didact's Cryptum and destroy it to keep the Didact from leaving Requiem. However, Del Rio refused to believe the two, calling their encounter with the Librarian "the hallucinations of an aging Spartan and his malfunctioning AI." This was furthered when Cortana's [[rampancy]] caused her to have an angry outburst.

The Master Chief departed ''Infinity'' in the Pelican as ''Infinity'' and her crew made their escape from Requiem. Without ''Infinity's'' firepower to back them up, Cortana suggests instead disrupting the communications at two of the towers near the Didact's Cryptum which would allow her to forge an override code and lower the Didact's shields so they could reach him. Using the Pelican's cannons, the Master Chief was able to destroy the [[Phantom]] dropships guarding each tower and make his way within. Inside each tower, the Master Chief fought his way through 'Mdama's determined Covenant and Promethean defenders and used an EMP in one tower to destroy a carrier wave generator and destroyed the attenuators in another tower, giving Cortana the opportunity to lower the Didact's shields. All through this, the Didact telepathically taunted the Master Chief about the futility of his actions. | |||

The Didact would arrive at Ivanoff Station and despite the efforts of the UNSC, he obtained the Composer and digitized everyone on the station excluding John-117, who was saved thanks to genetic augmentations provided by the Librarian.
