During the [[Battle of Installation 00]] in late [[2552]], the [[Prophet of Truth]] landed upon Installation 00 on the [[Forerunner Ship]], and seized the Citadel while the majority of his fleet and armies distracted the pursuing [[United Nations Space Command]]/[[Covenant Separatists]] allied forces. However, [[Ship Master]] [[Rtas 'Vadum]] "laid waste" to the Prophet of Truth's aerial fleet and [[SPARTAN-117]] and the [[Arbiter (Character)|Arbiter]] led a Marine and Sangheili ground attack on the Ark's surface, pushing forth to the Brute-held Citadel. However, the Prophet of Truth activated the Barrier Towers, forcing the UNSC and the Elites to send strike teams to lower the Barrier Towers before gaining access to the Citadel. During the assault, however, [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery J. Johnson]] was captured by the Brutes, and was taken to the Citadel, where the Prophet of Truth was sermonizing before activating the Halo array. | During the [[Battle of Installation 00]] in late [[2552]], the [[Prophet of Truth]] landed upon Installation 00 on the [[Forerunner Ship]], and seized the Citadel while the majority of his fleet and armies distracted the pursuing [[United Nations Space Command]]/[[Covenant Separatists]] allied forces.

After the Barrier Towers were deactivated, the UNSC launched an assault on the Citadel, with one [[M808B Scorpion Tank]], one [[Warthog|M12 Warthog LAAV]], one [[Mongoose]], and multiple [[Hornet]] VTOLs, and a [[Pelican Dropship]]. However, the [[Covenant Loyalists]] defended the Citadel, landing a pair of [[Scarab]]s by an atmospheric landing, and supplemented it with one [[Wraith]] tank and a handful of [[Ghost]] and [[Prowler]] attack vehicles. Despite heavy resistance, SPARTAN-117 and the Arbiter were able to defeat the Loyalist defense, and with [[343 Guilty Spark]]'s assistance, enter the Citadel. | After the Barrier Towers were deactivated, the UNSC launched an assault on the Citadel, with one [[M808B Scorpion Tank]], one [[Warthog|M12 Warthog LAAV]], one [[Mongoose]], and multiple [[Hornet]] VTOLs, and a [[Pelican Dropship]].
