At some point, the [[Covenant]] recovered the [[Forerunner]] [[Conduit]],<ref>'''[[Halo 2 Anniversary]]''', ''[[Terminal/Halo 2 Anniversary|Terminal 7]]''</ref> a device that was capable of opening Forerunner [[slipspace portal]]s throughout the [[Milky Way|galaxy]].<ref name="opc"/> During the [[Battle of Mombasa]] on [[Earth]] in [[2552]], the Covenant attempted to use the Conduit during the battle. However, the device was stolen by a [[squad]] of the [[UNSC]]'s [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]]. The squad tried to escape the city to safely deliver the Conduit into UNSC hands, but the device was lost when the [[Prophet of Regret|High Prophet of Regret]]'s ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' entered [[slipstream space]] over [[New Mombasa]]. The resulting slipstream wake killed the ODST squad and destroyed the city, seemingly along with the Conduit.<ref name="opa"/> However, the Conduit transported itself to [[Installation 03]] in the [[Khaphrae system]] by entering slipspace to save itself from destruction.<ref name="opc"/> | At some point, the [[Covenant]] recovered the [[Forerunner]] [[Conduit]],<ref>'''[[Halo 2 Anniversary]]''', ''[[Terminal/Halo 2 Anniversary|Terminal 7]]''</ref> a device that was capable of opening Forerunner [[slipspace portal]]s throughout the [[Milky Way|galaxy]].<ref name="opc"/> During the [[Battle of Mombasa]] on [[Earth]] in [[2552]], the Covenant attempted to use the Conduit during the battle.

In [[2557#July|July of 2557]], UNSC personnel on [[Ivanoff Station]] detected a faint signal originating on Gamma Halo. It the signal was soon discovered to be emanating from the Conduit, a [[Spartan-IV]] was sent to the installation to investigate.<ref name="opb"/> However, [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|reformed Covenant faction]] had continued to search for the Conduit after its supposed destruction at New Mombasa in 2552. The Covenant faction succeeded in picking up the signal moments before the UNSC did, and a [[fleet]] traveled to Installation 03 to recover the Conduit.<ref name="opc"/> | In [[2557#July|July of 2557]], UNSC personnel on [[Ivanoff Station]] detected a faint signal originating on Gamma Halo.

When the Covenant succeeded in recovering the Conduit, they brought it to the [[Altar]] on Installation 03. There, the Covenant intended to use the Conduit to open slipspace portals for Prometheans to invade Gamma Halo and give themselves control over the installation.<ref name="opc"/> They succeeded in bringing Prometheans to the ring, but the Conduit was eventually recovered by the UNSC who took it to a secret ONI base on New Phoenix. | When the Covenant succeeded in recovering the Conduit, they brought it to the [[Altar]] on Installation 03.
