Background
The Ark research outpost was one of the few UNSC research bases built on the Ark some time after Operation: FAR STORM in 2555. It's purpose was to study the Ark and it's Sentinels. The UNSC AI Isabel was installed there in order to manage logistics (food supplies, life systems and power management).

In 2559 the outpost was attacked by the Banished, mercenary organization led by the Jiralhanae warlord Atriox. All base personnel was killed. However Isabel managed to remain hidden from the Banished. She issued a distress beacon, which was later intercepted by the, which had arrived over the Ark through unknown means after 28 years of drifting in space. Spartan-II Red Team was deployed to the Ark to investigate the beacon, where the Spartans came across Isabel. However, they were soon ambushed by the Atriox himself and his troops. Taking casualties, Spartans extracted Isabel and evacuated back to the ship covering their exfil with orbital bombardment. Thus the outpost was destroyed by the UNSC Spirit of Fire Archer missiles.
