During the fighting, a joint UNSC-[[Covenant separatists]] force fought against the predominantly [[Jiralhanae]]-led loyalist [[Covenant]] forces led by the [[Prophet of Truth]]. At the end of the conflict, the Covenant were defeated and a [[Installation 08|nascent Halo ring]] detonated over the Ark - causing immense damage to the installation. | ||
The Ark was abandoned after that (save for a small contingent of [[Dhas Bhasvod's Covenant|Covenant remnants]] left hiding inside the Prophet of Truth's [[Anodyne Spirit|flagship]]), with only a minor expedition from the scout ship ''[[UNSC Rubicon|Rubicon]]'' in [[2553]]. In [[2555]], the Ark's [[monitor]] [[000 Tragic Solitude]] initiated a plan with the intent of repairing the installation, intending to reactivate the portal on Earth to use [[human colonies]] as resource bases through which it would restore the Ark to full operational status. This plan was [[Operation: FAR STORM|ultimately foiled]] by a joint UNSC-[[Swords of Sanghelios]] team, after which the portal remained open and a large contingent established on the Ark to explore and study the installation. This contingent was centred on the [[Henry Lamb Research Outpost]], itself named after [[Henry Lamb|a scientist]] who had died in the 2555 excursion onto the installation. | The Ark was abandoned after that (save for a small contingent of [[Dhas Bhasvod's Covenant|Covenant remnants]] left hiding inside the Prophet of Truth's [[Anodyne Spirit|flagship]]), with only a minor expedition from the scout ship ''[[UNSC Rubicon|Rubicon]]'' in [[2553]].
