Shortly after one of the last battles of the [[Harvest campaign]], [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]] and his ships quickly left the system after learning the location of Arcadia from a [[Forerunner]] [[relic|artifact]] buried under [[Harvest]]'s north pole. Professor [[Ellen Anders]] briefly examined the artifact and learned that it pointed in the direction of another planetary system. Under her suggestion of Professor Anders and permission from [[Preston Cole|Admiral Preston Cole]], the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} followed the [[Covenant fleet]] in hot pursuit.<ref name="point">'''Halo Wars''' ''cutscene [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erPDrK3CBP8 "All it Did Was Point"]''</ref> | Shortly after one of the last battles of the [[Harvest campaign]], [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]] and his ships quickly left the system after learning the location of Arcadia from a [[Forerunner]] [[relic|artifact]] buried under [[Harvest]]'s north pole.

Upon reaching Arcadia, two [[Covenant]] {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}}s exited slipspace. The ''Spirit of Fire'' arrived soon after. The {{UNSCShip|Belfast}}, {{UNSCShip|Texas}}, {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, and {{UNSCShip|Armstrong}} engaged the two battlecruisers immediately, catching one of them, designated ''[[CCS-U321]]'', with its shields down and destroying it. However, the UNSC force suffered for its part in the battle. The ''Texas'' and ''Belfast'' were both destroyed, the ''Armstrong'' was venting atmosphere due to damage, and the ''Autumn'' suffered severe damage. After disabling the remaining UNSC vessels, the second battlecruiser, designated ''[[CCS-U624]]'', moved towards Arcadia. Meanwhile, the ''Autumn'' and the ''Armstrong'' were assisted by the ''Spirit of Fire''.<ref name="point"/> | Upon reaching Arcadia, two [[Covenant]] {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}}s exited slipspace.
