The '''Second Ark Conflict'''<ref>''[[Halo: Warfleet]]'', p. 48</ref> was a large [[battle]] fought between the isolated [[United Nations Space Command]] [[UNSC Armed Forces|forces]] of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} and the hostile mercenary organization known as the [[Banished]] in [[2559]], about six years after the [[Human-Covenant War]] [[Battle of Installation 00|ended]] on the same ancient [[Forerunner]] [[Astroengineering|installation]] known as [[Installation 00|the Ark]]. After mysteriously arriving at the Ark on [[2559#March|March 28, 2559]], the long-lost crew of the ''Spirit of Fire'' were awoken from [[Cryonics|cryosleep]] and soon came into hostile contact with the powerful mercenary organization. During the battle, the UNSC destroyed the Banished's flagship, the {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} ''[[Enduring Conviction]]'', and initiated the deployment sequence of [[Installation 09|one]] of the Ark's [[Halo Array|Halo rings]], one of an array of massive ring-shaped superweapons capable of destroying all sentient life in [[Milky Way|the galaxy]], intending to use it to send a [[distress beacon]] to [[Human colonies|human space]]. | The '''Second Ark Conflict'''<ref>''[[Halo: Warfleet]]'', p. 48</ref> was a large [[battle]] fought between the isolated [[United Nations Space Command]] [[UNSC Armed Forces|forces]] of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} and the hostile mercenary organization known as the [[Banished]] in [[2559]], about six years after the [[Human-Covenant War]] [[Battle of Installation 00|ended]] on the same ancient [[Forerunner]] [[Astroengineering|installation]] known as [[Installation 00|the Ark]].

After escaping the research outpost, Alice began tracking an enemy convoy to one of their compounds. Discovering they had imprisoned some of the ''Spirit of Fire'' | After escaping the research outpost, Alice began tracking an enemy convoy to one of their compounds. Discovering they had imprisoned some of the ''Spirit of Fire's'' Marines, the Spartan infiltrated the base and freed the prisoners. After moving to a few more prison compounds, Alice was able to free the remaining captive UNSC personnel and kill a few Banished patrols, alerting the enemy to their presence. After arriving at another research outpost, Alice sent an encrypted message to Captain Cutter, who informed her that Pelicans were on the way but so were Banished forces. Managing to hold off the advancing units long enough for the Pelicans to arrive, Alice and the rescued personnel managed to get aboard and escape with their vehicles and cyclops armor. Shortly afterward, Cutter gave Alice command of the rescued Marines, their equipment and vehicles so they could perform hit-and-run operations against the Banished, while Isabel prepared a briefing package to get her back up to speed with the situation.{{Ref/Reuse|One Three Zero}} {{clear|left}} | ||
