Over twenty-eight years later on March 28, [[2559]], Sunray 1-1 and everyone else were awakened to find themselves drifting above the extragalactic [[Installation 00]], also known as the Ark.{{Ref/Game|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=Alice-130 Report #1}} There, the vessel's forces were forced to contend with the [[Banished]], a heavily-armed faction of ex-Covenant that sought to control the Ark largely due to its capacity for producing [[Halo]] superweapons. | Over twenty-eight years later on March 28, [[2559]], Sunray 1-1 and everyone else were awakened to find themselves drifting above the extragalactic [[Installation 00]], also known as the Ark.{{Ref/Game|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=Alice-130 Report #1}} There, the vessel's forces were forced to contend with the [[Banished]], a heavily-armed faction of ex-Covenant that sought to control the Ark largely due to its capacity for producing [[Halo]] superweapons. | ||
In May of 2559, a month following the [[Battle of Installation 09|departure]] of [[Installation 09]] from the Ark, Sunray were deployed onto the Ark to investigate a cloaking field set up by the Banished to hide a new site of operations commanded by the [[Mgalekgolo]] [[Swarmlord]], [[Colony]]. Sunray landed on the Ark 1.8 miles from the site perimeter, and were tasked with performing a reconnaissance and observation mission. After the Banished presence was confirmed, ''Spirit of Fire'' deployed [[India Company]] to reinforce Sunray as they began to push deeper. Eventually, Sunray stumbled upon a Banished base of operations, and were able to acquire intelligence on the nature of their plan: reactivate an ancient Forerunner {{Class|Despair|fighter}} and use it to destroy ''Spirit of Fire''. However, the fighter was still a dormant [[design seed]], which meant that there was a short amount of time available to stop the plan before it could be brought to completion. Sunray proceeded to act as the spearhead of a large combined-arms force supported by ''Spirit of Fire'' in an attack on a number of control points critical to the operation of the cloaking field surrounding the site, successfully fending off numerous Banished and [[Sentinel]] attacks including a large [[Retriever Sentinel]].{{Ref/Level|HW2 | In May of 2559, a month following the [[Battle of Installation 09|departure]] of [[Installation 09]] from the Ark, Sunray were deployed onto the Ark to investigate a cloaking field set up by the Banished to hide a new site of operations commanded by the [[Mgalekgolo]] [[Swarmlord]], [[Colony]].

With the first stage of the operation a success, Sunray then proceeded to move on to an assault on the launch site itself. This second attack resulted in the deployment of numerous [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark II (J) Colossus|Mark II Colossi]] to help destroy the Forerunner mechanisms constructing the ''Despair''-class fighter, delaying the fifteen-minute countdown sufficiently long enough to allow UNSC forces an opening to destroy the site with an [[AV-14 Hornet]] air strike.{{Ref/Level|HW2 | With the first stage of the operation a success, Sunray then proceeded to move on to an assault on the launch site itself.

Upon returning from their successful mission, Sunray were quickly moved on to conduct more missions against the Banished. Shortly following the success of SPEARBREAKER, the team were used to perform a series of assassinations on Banished officers identified as critical to the operations of [[Atriox]]. One mission in particular was a resounding success, with Corporal [[Devon Sparks]] using tactics gleaned from after-action reports of the war-era [[Operation: GREY VEIL]] assasination on [[Heian]] to land a killing shot against a Jiralhanae [[Captain (Covenant)|Captain]] that quickly became legend among the ''Spirit of Fire''{{'}}s crew. Throughout the later months of 2559, they were deployed among several Banished-occupied regions of the Ark in strikes against a variety of hostile forces including the aforementioned Banished, and those of both Sentinel and [[Armiger]] threats.{{Ref/Site|Id=CF100|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sweet-centennial|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Sweet Centennial|D=24|M=09|Y=2021}} | Upon returning from their successful mission, Sunray were quickly moved on to conduct more missions against the Banished.
