The Battle of the Capital was a major conflict that took place on and around the Forerunner Capital.[1]
Battle
At least 50 years prior to the battle, the Contender-class Artificial Intelligence Mendicant Bias had been assigned to a mission to locate and attack the Flood Gravemind. As part of this mission, he was given control of a Halo Installation and charged with conducting the first test of such a weapon. After the test, however, Bias disappeared with the ring and was not seen for decades.
Bias unexpectedly returned with the Halo to the Forerunner Capital after 43 years, turned rampant by the Gravemind and bent on the destruction of the Forerunner race. He infiltrated the Capital's defense systems, deactivated all Ancillas and security constructs, and held the Council hostage by overriding their armor and rendering them immobile.
Bias was temporarily deactivated by Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting, who was host to the memories of the Didact and issued a verbal failsafe code. The Capital was released from Mendicant's control, and began activating its defensive systems.
Despite losing control of the capital installation, Bias could still control five of the twelve Halos in orbit around the capital. These rings immediatly began charging their main weapons and positioning themselves around the capital in preperation to attack.
With the capital shutdown and the metarchy collapsed, Forerunner military responded to the threat with lethal force. All ships in the area began attack runs on the stolen Halos. The monitors in charge of the Halos, programed to respond to any threat to their installations no matter the source counter-attacked.
The seven halos still under Forerunner control were ordered to go through the portal network and return to the Ark as soon as possible. But the strain of moving the massive constructs, combined with the added stress of the many Forerunner ships entering the system through the webwork in response to Bias' attack proved too much, and the portal network collapsed, destroying or severly damaging all of the Halos.
