In [[2552]], after [[The Battle of Installation 05]], Zone 67 turned active, with huge numbers of [[Sentinels]] coming out of the area and destroying the excavation team, eventually attacking Camp Currahee as well. The Sentinels then continued to excavate Zone 67 during [[The Battle of Onyx]]. The planet eventually exploded, destroying Zone 67 but, keeping the Forerunner ruins inside it, intact.<ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], Pages 375-378</ref> | In [[2552]], after [[The Battle of Installation 05]], Zone 67 turned active, with huge numbers of [[Sentinels]] coming out of the area and destroying the excavation team, eventually attacking Camp Currahee as well.
