While the Guardian's activation heavily damaged Liang-Dortmund's local headquarters at Meridian Station and resulted in the destruction of Pinnacle Station, the corporation's regional directors implemented contingency plans to mitigate the economic impact and reconstitute operations on Meridian. Relocating to the surviving Darkstar Station on the other side of the world with many of the corporation's employees now stationed in Meridian's orbit, Liang-Dortmund continued to work to extract Meridian's resources, despite the uncertain astro-political climate that resulted from Cortana's efforts. However, several Forerunner artifacts within Meridian's mantle were since reactivated, drawing the attention of the UNSC.{{Ref/Reuse|glassed ceiling}}

By late [[2559]]-early [[2560]], all of the settlements on Meridian's surface had been effectively abandoned. Following the [[Battle over Installation 07|defeat]] of the Created in late 2559, [[High Auxiliary]] [[Sloan]] ventured to Meridian and took control of a [[Promethean Knight]] that had been left wandering the surface of the planet. As he traversed the planet looking for signs of life or activity, he considered the [[essence]] of the [[Composer|composed]] human occupying the Promethean shell and compared them to both himself and the planet of Meridian himself; considering all three an evolution rather than a destruction. He came to the conclusion that the Created's defeat was just a setback rather than a full downfall, and that giving up would do nothing to restore honour to Meridian itself.{{Ref/Novel|Id=MDHC|HMerDi|Detail=Adjunct - [[Meridian Homecoming]]}} These comparisons and conclusions evidently became manifest in Sloan's [[Executor]] program.
