The ''Spirit of Fire'' followed Anders' signal to a previously unknown [[Shield World (Halo Wars)|Shield World]]. Meanwhile, she was imprisoned on top of the [[Apex]], where the Arbiter used her status as a potential Reclaimer to activate the [[Unnamed Forerunner Starship|Forerunner ships]]. Anders used a [[Teleporter|teleportation pad]] to escape to the surface while the Elites were distracted by the majesty of the ships. Shortly after she teleported, she was threatened by a number of [[Flood]] [[Infection Form]]s, and only narrowly rescued by Forge. The latter's Pelican was shot down immediately after, but both were successfully evacuated by Pelican after a brief overland trek. | The ''Spirit of Fire'' followed Anders' signal to a previously unknown [[Shield World (Halo Wars)|Shield World]].

Anders devised a plan to use the ''Spirit of Fire's'' [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|FTL reactor]] to cause the [[Astroengineering #Stars|artificial sun]] inside the Shield World to go [[supernova]], thus destroying the ships (and any other Forerunner technology) before the Covenant could make use of them. Forge and [[Red Team]] encountered complications, in the form of Elite intervention, and the former stayed behind to manually overload the reactor.

After narrowly escaping the exploding Sheild World, the ''Spirit of Fire'' set a course for the nearest UNSC forces under conventional power. Two weeks later, Cutter forced Anders into [[Cryo-chamber|cryo-stasis]], stating that she got them all out of there alive. As the pod closed, Anders reminded the Captain that not all of them had survived.<ref>''[[Halo Wars]]''</ref> | ||
