During the [[Battle of the Etran Harborage]] in [[2531]], Professor [[Ellen Anders]] came up with a plan to destroy the [[Shield World]] and its fleet of [[Forerunner]] [[Sojourner-class dreadnought|''Sojourner''-class dreadnoughts]] by taking the FTL reactor of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} and detonating it inside the installation's internal star. This would cause the star to go supernova and obliterate the Shield world.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''', campaign level ''[[Reactor]]''</ref> Due to damage sustained during an attack by Covenant forces, Sergeant [[John Forge]] was forced to take the reactor into the star and detonate it manually. As the ''Spirit of Fire'' escaped the Shield World, the internal star went supernova, destroying the planet and the Forerunner fleet, thwarting the Covenant plan.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''', campaign level ''[[Escape]]''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''', ''cutscene [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rw449I95UHY&feature=player_embedded "One Less Sun in The Universe"]''</ref> | During the [[Battle of the Etran Harborage]] in [[2531]], Professor [[Ellen Anders]] came up with a plan to destroy the [[Shield World]] and its fleet of [[Forerunner]] [[Sojourner-class dreadnought|''Sojourner''-class dreadnoughts]] by taking the FTL reactor of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} and detonating it inside the installation's internal star.

This new element was fatal to humans and was turned into a [[bioweapon]] by [[terrorist]]s. After the source of the new element was traced to Alpha Shard following the [[Terrorist attack on Sedra City]], Private [[Talitha Macer]] correctly surmised that the supernova effects of the destruction of Installation 04 created it, confirmed by the lack of the element anywhere else in the known universe. [[Mission to Alpha Shard|A joint mission]] by an [[ONI]]-[[Sedran Colonial Guard]] team destroyed the deposits of this new element with a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Nightfall]]'''</ref> | ||
At the close of the [[Requiem campaign]] in [[2558]], the leader of [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|a Covenant remnant]], [[Jul 'Mdama]], put the shield world [[Requiem]] on a collision course with the system's sun, [[Epoloch]]. When the shield world was absorbed by the sun, the star went into a supernova state and exploded, nearly destroying the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} which narrowly escaped the shockwave into slipspace.<ref>'''[[Spartan Ops]]''', [[S1/Exodus|S1E10 ''Exodus'']]</ref> | At the close of the [[Requiem campaign]] in [[2558]], the leader of [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|a Covenant remnant]], [[Jul 'Mdama]], put the shield world [[Requiem]] on a collision course with the system's sun, [[Epoloch]].
