The first shot fired in the battle was suffered by the ''Pillar of Autumn'' only twenty minutes after its arrival when a [[Seraph]] managed to slip through the cruiser's sentry screening.

The cruiser would continue to be assaulted by several [[Morsam-pattern Seraph|''Morsam''-pattern Seraphs]] and [[Type-27 Banshee]]s throughout the battle, who would be fended off by the ship's [[M910 Rampart point defense network]].<ref name="HFR">'''[[Halo: Fireteam Raven]]''', campaign level ''[[Escape (Halo: Fireteam Raven level)|Escape]]''</ref> Later on, the ship would take fire from Covenant [[pulse laser turret]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|CEPOA}}

Unbeknownst to either side, the Forerunner installation was not inert. [[Monitor]] [[343 Guilty Spark]] attempted to contact the ''Pillar of Autumn'' and warn of them of the ring's danger, insisting the cruiser retreat to a safe distance of one light-year. The monitor prepared several {{Class|Confidence|weapon array}}s to fire on the vessel and gave it thirty seconds to change course, though he stopped once he realised the ship belonged to [[Reclaimer]]s and cleared the ship for landing. The monitor disabled the ring's defensive systems, but warned the crew not to disembark once they landed.<ref>''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]], [[Terminal (Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary)|Terminals]] - Terminal One''</ref>
