The Portal at Voi as seen in the Halo 3  level Tsavo Highway.

The Artifact is a gargantuan Forerunner megastructure of unknown purpose buried beneath the sands of Africa. When the Covenant invaded Earth, they concentrated all of their forces on the East African megacity of New Mombasa. Within the day, the aliens had begun digging and excavating a massive Forerunner relic hidden beneath the Earth for unknown millennia. Now, the Excession at Voi has been uncovered, and the Forerunner Dreadnought has made landfall on its surface. The UNSC now believes the Artifact to be the Ark - the key to activating - or preventing the activation of - Halo.

H3 Installation00 Full.jpg

The Ark, officially designated Installation 00, is a large megastructure constructed by the Forerunners and situated outside of the Milky Way galaxy. Safe from the effect Halo array's firing thanks to its distance, the Ark served as a refuge for species preserved by the Forerunners and reseeded following the Great Purification. The central forges of the Ark strip-mine the planetoid in the centre for resources used in constructing Halo rings.
