The High Prophet of Truth, having successfully activated the artifact in [[Voi]], left Earth through a [[Slipstream space|Slipspace]] portal to the Ark, a Forerunner structure that can be used to fire all of the Halo installations at once. Despite Lord Hood's skepticism, Commander Keyes took the ''Forward Unto Dawn'' with a small fleet of separatist [[cruiser]]s led by the [[Covenant assault carrier|Assault Carrier]] ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'' and proceeded through the Slipspace portal, arriving at the Ark. The Separatists immediately engaged the [[Jiralhanae|Brute]] fleet stationed to protect the [[San 'Shyuum|Prophet]] while the ''Dawn'' deployed the [[John-117|Master Chief]] and [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s in six [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelicans]] to locate Truth. Despite being outnumbered three-to-one in space, the Separatist fleet made short work of the Loyalist space forces, likely due to the [[Sangheili]]'s remarkable tactical adeptness. The Jiralhanae's tactical helplessness can be heard in a radio transmission, saying "''No! Shoot the Carrier!''" The Covenant Loyalist Fleet had been destroyed and the only Loyalists left alive were Truth and his forces on the Ark. Also, presumably Truth landed the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] on the Ark although it was never seen again and was specifically said not to take part in the battle above the Ark. | The High Prophet of Truth, having successfully activated the artifact in [[Voi]], left Earth through a [[Slipstream space|Slipspace]] portal to the Ark, a Forerunner structure that can be used to fire all of the Halo installations at once.
