*The [[Battle of Installation 00]]: The joint Sangheili-human force arrives at Installation 00 and immediately engages Truth's forces while the {{UNSCship|Forward Unto Dawn}} deploys ground forces to locate Truth. Despite being outnumbered three to one in space, the separatist fleet makes short work of the Covenant space forces. After locating Truth via the Cartographer, the separatist-UNSC alliance launches an assault on the Ark's [[Forerunner Citadel|Citadel]] where Truth intends to activate the Halo Array. At the same time the former Covenant city ship High Charity arrives from slipspace and crashes on the Ark. Debris spread from the city-ship helps spread a new Flood infestation on the Ark. The Sangheili and UNSC finish off the last stand of the Covenant's resistance, consisting of two Scarabs and many other ground forces, in [[Battle of the Citadel|a large battle]] before the Citadel.
