Sometime near [[2560]], several dozen forces from different branches originating from the ''Infinity'' were killed in combat either on or near [[Installation 07]].{{Ref/Game|HI|trailer|Detail=[[Halo Infinite Campaign Gameplay Premiere|Campaign Gameplay Premiere]]|Id=Premiere}} The ship itself went missing and was [[Battle over Installation 07|presumed destroyed]] after being severely damaged and compromised by [[Banished]] forces during a ambush at [[Installation 07]], [[Battle for Zeta Halo|in a larger multi-faction conflict over control of the ring]].{{Ref/Level|HINF|[[Warship Gbraakon]]}}{{clear}}
In late 2559, ''Infinity'' was part of a UNSC fleet that was sent to [[Installation 07]] on a mission to eliminate Cortana using [[The Weapon]]. ''Infinity'' arrived at Zeta Halo on December 12 and immediately fell into an ambush. The [[Banished]] had reached the ring first and were already in the process of occupying it. Multiple Banished raiding parties, including one personally led by [[Atriox]], stormed the ship within seconds of its appearance.{{Ref/Game|Id=ia4|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Infinity's Approach 4|UNSC Audio log|Detail=Infinity's Approach #04 - Arrival}}{{Ref/Game|Id=ia5|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Infinity's Approach 5|UNSC Audio log|Detail=Infinity's Approach #05 - Zero Hour}} With the boarders making rapid progress, John-117 took charge of escorting Captain Lasky from the bridge to the hangar bay for evacuation, and was aided along the way by [[Fireteam Taurus]].{{Ref/Game|Id=ia6|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Infinity's Approach 6|UNSC Audio log|Detail=Infinity's Approach #06 - Ingress}}{{Ref/Game|Id=ia8|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Infinity's Approach 8|UNSC Audio log|Detail=Infinity's Approach #08 - Losing Ground}}{{Ref/Game|Id=ia9|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Infinity's Approach 9|UNSC Audio log|Detail=Infinity's Approach #09 - Taurus}} Although the hangar was being overrun by Banished by the time Lasky's group reached it, an intact dropship was secured, and as Lasky departed for the surface of Zeta Halo he declared ''Infinity'' had been compromised and issued the order for all remaining crew to abandon ship.{{Ref/Game|Id=ia10|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Infinity's Approach 10|UNSC Audio log|Detail=Infinity's Approach #10 - Priorities}}{{Ref/Game|Id=ia11|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Infinity's Approach 11|UNSC Audio log|Detail=Infinity's Approach #11 - Egress}}{{Ref/Game|Id=ia12|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Infinity's Approach 12|UNSC Audio log|Detail=Infinity's Approach #12 - Abandon Ship}}
 
Following the evacuation order, ''Infinity'' was rammed amidships by a [[Banished dreadnought]] and sustained severe damage. Shortly afterward, John-117, who had stayed aboard and continued fighting in the hangar, was confronted by Atriox and flung out into space; both he and the Banished leader were presumed killed in action since contact with them was lost. Meanwhile, a [[Battle for Zeta Halo|conflict]] between UNSC survivors and the Banished for control of Zeta Halo unfolded on the ring's surface.{{Ref/Game|HI|trailer|Detail=[[Halo Infinite Campaign Gameplay Premiere|Campaign Gameplay Premiere]]|Id=Premiere}}
 
''Infinity'' went missing and was [[Battle over Installation 07|presumed destroyed]].{{Ref/Level|HINF|[[Warship Gbraakon]]}} [[Escharum]] later claimed that the flagship of the UNSC had been neutralized in only four minutes.{{Ref/Reuse|hor}}{{clear}}
