Upon following the Covenant to Arcadia, the ''Spirit of Fire'' finds that most of the orbital defense ships have been either destroyed or damaged in battle with the Covenant (one of the many ships is the [[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|''Pillar of Autumn'']] which would be involved in the "Halo incident" twenty years later).

Meanwhile, the Arbiter uses Anders to activate an installation known as [[the Apex]], revealing a fleet of [[Unidentified Forerunner starship|Forerunner warships]] which the Covenant plans on reverse-engineering and incorporating into their existing naval forces to crush the humans quickly, without needing to dedicate all of their existing forces to the war. Anders manages to escape, using what had been her stasis prison as a [[Slipspace translocation|translocation device]], teleporting to the surface of the Shield World's interior, linking up with Forge and his Marines, who clear the area of Covenant forces and establish a base of operations on the Shield World.<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level ''[[Beachhead (Halo Wars level)|Beachhead]]''</ref> Removing the ''Spirit of Fire'''s [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|FTL drive]], the UNSC move it into the Apex, planning to detonate it - the chain-reaction will send the Shield World's sun into a [[supernova]], destroying the installation and the fleet, denying it to the Covenant and saving humanity from near total defeat and extinction. The Arbiter attempts to stop them, but his Sangheili are killed by Red Team, and Forge himself manages to kill the Arbiter with one of his own Energy Swords.<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level ''[[Reactor]]''</ref> Forge stays behind to detonate the reactor, while the rest of the UNSC forces activate a portal out of the Shield World, evacuate to the ''Spirit of Fire'', and manage to slingshot around the sun to build up enough speed to escape the supernova's blast radius and the range of the Shield World's debris.<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level ''[[Escape]]''</ref> | Meanwhile, the Arbiter uses Anders to activate an installation known as [[the Apex]], revealing a fleet of [[Unidentified Forerunner starship|Forerunner warships]] which the Covenant plans on reverse-engineering and incorporating into their existing naval forces to crush the humans quickly, without needing to dedicate all of their existing forces to the war.
