The Covenant | As predicted, the Covenant [[First Battle of Arcadia|followed the information]] from the artifact to Arcadia. The Covenant hoped that the planet would contain more Forerunner artifacts for them to claim, and while they only found a [[Arcadia Forerunner Ruins|complex of ruins]], information garnered from them led them to a [[Shield World (Halo Wars)|Shield World]]. The ''Spirit of Fire'' followed and removed the Covenant presence from the planet. However, 'Moramee's capture of an [[Ellen Anders|important civilian researcher]] forced Captain Cutter to pursue the Covenant to the newly discovered Shield World without reinforcements. | ||
On the Shield World, the crew of the ''Spirit of Fire'' eventually discovered that the Covenant needed Professor Anders to activate [[the Apex]] and claim the huge fleet of [[Unnamed Forerunner Starship|Forerunner starships]] held there. A group of Marines, together with SPARTAN-II [[Red Team]], rescued the researcher and destroyed the Shield World by initiating the collapse of the interior star. The Arbiter was also killed by [[John Forge]] during the battle though the Prophet of Regret escaped. | On the Shield World, the crew of the ''Spirit of Fire'' eventually discovered that the Covenant needed Professor Anders to activate [[the Apex]] and claim the huge fleet of [[Unnamed Forerunner Starship|Forerunner starships]] held there.
