A battle for Installation 07, colloquially referred to as a "war",[6] was an engagement that took place in late 2559 between the United Nations Space Command (UNSC) and the Banished.[2]
Prelude
When the Created conflict began with the rogue AI Cortana subjugating major planets and governments across the galaxy with her Guardians, the UNSC Armed Forces were broken with the UNSC Infinity forced into hiding. Cortana ushered in a new era with her Created as rulers, enforcing martial law across their territory. The Infinity conducted operations against the Created in limited capacity.
Battle
The diminished UNSC forces led by the UNSC Infinity went to Installation 07 and were ambushed by a group of mercenary raiders known as the Banished.[7][8] A Jiralhanae attacked Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 and tossed him into space. During the battle, the Infinity suffered heavy damage and started to come apart.[9]
Aftermath
- "We lost. Lost everything. There's nothing left for us here. I don't even know where here is."
- — Echo 216's pilot to John-117.[4]
The conflict resulted in extensive damage to Installation 07, as well as leaving Echo 216 and its pilot adrift near the installation.[4] Additionally, the battle resulted in heavy casualties among personnel assigned to the UNSC Infinity, with the ship crash-landing on the ring.[2][10]
Despite the damage, the Banished would occupy the ring leaving UNSC forces to group up on one of the fragments. They would form a resistance which included three Spartans.[7]
