Armigers were present on the Ark, though remained apparently dormant throughout the [[Battle of Installation 00|battle]] raged there in late [[2552]]. However, they were awakened by the installation's monitor [[000 Tragic Solitude]] in [[2555]] in response to [[Operation: FAR STORM|an incursion]] on the surface of the installation by a joint UNSC-[[Swords of Sanghelios]] expeditionary team sent to investigate the Ark's reactivation. The armigers were used by Tragic Solitude in an attempt to halt the party from foiling Solitude's plans to rebuild the Ark, though were ultimately unsuccessful.{{Ref/Novel|HiTD}}

After crashing the hijacked {{UNSCShip|Rubicon}} in [[2554]], [[343 Guilty Spark]] survived by uploading himself to an armiger made out of parts salvaged from Installation 00 by the ''Rubicon''. After being rescued by the ''[[Ace of Spades]]'' in [[2557]], Spark used the armiger as his primary form, even molding the avatar created by [[Niko]] for him after it rather than after his old human identity [[Chakas]] or his old [[Monitor]] form. After traveling to [[Triniel]] to get an [[upgrade seed]] for the ''Ace of Spades'', Spark was able to use the [[Builder]] facility there to repair damage to his armiger. When Spark finally made contact with the [[Librarian]] through a personality imprint beneath [[Kilimanjaro]], he suggested that she use an armiger to return to the living world with him, but she refused in favor of going to the [[Absolute Record]]. Though offered the same choice, Spark chose to remain with his friends from the ''Ace of Spades'' and briefly shifted his armiger into a combat configuration to get them out of trouble. Additionally, Spark's armiger displayed the ability to project a cloaking field over himself and his companions to shield them from ONI drones.{{Ref/Novel|HRen}}
