On September 19, 2552, the {{Class|Halcyon|light cruiser}} ''Pillar of Autumn'' exited [[slipspace]] above Installation 04, having escaped the [[Fall of Reach]]. The cruiser was quickly engaged by the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]], including four battlegroups of three {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}}s. During the fighting, one Covenant vessel, the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'', was heavily damaged and forced to land on the surface upspin of the UNSC's operations at [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]] to conduct maintenance.<ref>''[[The Halo Conflict]]'', The Truth and Reconciliation</ref> The vessel was brought to rest one hundred units above a dry desert plateau, and became the center of activities for Covenant units assigned to "harvest" technology from the ringworld. Because of this, the corridors were thick with high-ranking personnel and even [[Huragok|engineers]].<ref name="flood3">''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', Chapter 3</ref> | On September 19, 2552, the {{Class|Halcyon|light cruiser}} ''Pillar of Autumn'' exited [[slipspace]] above Installation 04, having escaped the [[Fall of Reach]].

Following the [[Landing on Installation 04|evacuation]] of the ''Autumn'', Captain Jacob Keyes was captured by Covenant personnel and brought to the ''Truth and Reconciliation''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s brig for interrogation. UNSC forces were able to recon out the ship and confirm the captain was held there, and [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] John-117 was briefed by Major [[Antonio Silva]] on his mission - to lead a strike force into the ship and rescue the captain.<ref name="flood3"/> The recon flights had also confirmed a blind spot in the cruiser's sensor grid, and the AI [[Wellsley]] had created an array of signals designed to trick technicians into believing an approaching [[D77-TC Pelican]] dropship was one of the Covenant's own. Seventeen hours and eleven minutes after landing on the ring, ''[[Echo 419]]'' deployed the Master Chief and several [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] onto the plateau for a boarding action.<ref name="flood4">''Halo: The Flood'', Chapter 4</ref><ref name="CETAR">''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', campaign level ''[[The Truth and Reconciliation]]''</ref> | Following the [[Landing on Installation 04|evacuation]] of the ''Autumn'', Captain Jacob Keyes was captured by Covenant personnel and brought to the ''Truth and Reconciliation''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s brig for interrogation.
