Battle of Installation 00: Difference between revisions

**At least 3 [[Type-47 Scarab]]s

From the ''Dawn'''s hangar, the Master Chief, ODSTs, and Marines were reinforced with three [[M808C Scorpion]]s tanks and an [[M12 Warthog LRV]]. The human force then fought their way through a large reinforcements force back to the Forerunner wall. The Chief went through the upper, smaller doorway while the armor and vehicles (reinforced with one more Warthog and an [[M12G1 Gauss Warthog]]) went through the larger, lower doorway. After activating a light bridge the [[Spartan]] went through the wall, only to see a [[Type-47 Scarab]] and a Covenant armored force destroy the Warthogs. He then fought his way to the lower doorway, which then finally opened fully, letting the tanks through. [[Sergeant]] [[Stacker]] and the Chief led the Scorpions and a Warthog through two Covenant defense lines of [[Type-25 Chopper]]s, [[Type-32 Ghost]]s, [[Type-26 Wraith]]s, and infantry with heavy weapons, reinforced by a Phantom. When the Scarab returned, the humans then proceeded to destroy it, plus the Choppers and infantry reinforcing it. By now the Elites had defeated the entirety of Truth's remaining fleet. The ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'' landed near the Cartographer.<ref name="theark"/>

The firing of the Halo ring caused unprecedented damage to the Ark while sterilizing the installation of the Flood forces around and on it, including the Gravemind commanding the massing Flood amid the battle. Over two years later on [[2555|March 20, 2555]], during [[Operation: FAR STORM]], [[Luther Mann]] and [[N'tho 'Sraom]] arrived at the Citadel to stop the Halos from firing. Scattered around the basin were the remains of human and Covenant vehicles left over from the battle, including the empty husks of the two [[Type-47 Scarab|Scarabs]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Hunters in the Dark]]''', ''page 252''</ref>
