One month following the destruction of ''[[Enduring Conviction]]'' and the launch of [[Installation 09|the Halo]], the war for [[Installation 00|the Ark]] rages on. UNSC drones spot signs of Banished activity hidden by a [[Cloaking|cloak]] field, prompting Sunray 1-1 to investigate The squad drops in via [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|drop pod]], and meets up with friendly UNSC forces on-site. The group fight through several [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s, before meeting a new kind of foe; the [[Controller Sentinel]]. Like the [[Enforcer]], the Controller has several [[Energy shielding|energy shields]] protecting its front, requiring the squad to attack from multiple directions to hit the sentinel from behind and destroy it. The group eventually come across a hologram of a [[Jiralhanae Warlord]], who inadvertently informs the UNSC that his [[Huragok]] have established several cloaking towers around their work site, and orders the Banished to defend the sites from the Controller Sentinels until Colony's plan is complete.

The UNSC set up a [[Firebase]] and begin building an army. While fighting the Banished, Sunray come across an as-of-yet unknown unit, the [[Skitterer]] and later, a Goliath. The UNSC eventually destroy the Controller Sentinels besieging the Banished, in time to see a [[Retriever Sentinel]] emerge. The Retriever is eventually destroyed, allowing the UNSC troops to move on to their next objective. With only fifteen minutes until the Forerunner ship is repaired and able to destroy ''Spirit of Fire'', Sunray begin taking the ship's charging columns offline via the use of [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark II (J) Colossus]] mechs. All towers are eventually taken offline and the ship is destroyed in an air strike before it can launch, ending the DLC.
