Raid on Installation 08: Difference between revisions

*Separatist Sangheili Arbiter (1)

The '''Raid on Installation 04B''' was a small engagement between the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]]-[[Swords of Sanghelios|Sangheili]] alliance, [[the Flood]] and later the [[Forerunner]] [[Sentinel]]s acting under [[343 Guilty Spark]]'s orders. It took place immediately after the [[Raid on High Charity|raid]] on [[High Charity]] and marked the end of both the [[Battle of Installation 00]] and the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level ''[[Halo (level)|Halo]]''</ref>

After realizing that the [[Prophet of Truth]] had gained access to the Ark, a joint UNSC-Covenant separatist attack force was sent through [[The Portal|the Portal]] to combat the Covenant loyalist force there, and stop the Covenant form activating the [[Halo Array]] and destroying all sentient life in the galaxy.

The combined forces of the UNSC-separatist alliance was enough to completely destroy the Loyalist forces and prevent the Halo Array from firing. However, the arrival of the [[Flood hive]] on High Charity changed the course of the battle. [[John-117]] set out for High Charity. His goal was to retrieve a copy of Installation 04's index from the captured [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] [[Cortana]] and fire off the newly rebuilt Halo, completely destroying the Flood in and around the Ark.

John-117 landed in High Charity and combated Flood forces deep into their hive. After fighting through waves of Flood forms, he retrieved Cortana, and therefore, the activation index she acquired during the events of the original [[Battle of Installation 04]]. The SPARTAN then set High Charity's secondary reactors to explode. He met up with [[Thel 'Vadam]], who had also ventured into the hive to help him, and they took off in a [[D77H-TCI Pelican|Pelican]] to activate Installation 04B and destroy the [[Flood]]. As they left, High Charity exploded, killing nearly all of the Flood there. Meanwhile, the human and separatist survivors from Installation 00 were evacuated to the separatist [[CAS-class assault carrier|assault carrier]] ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'' which headed back to Earth through the portal.
