During the [[Battle of the Capital]], Faber and high-ranking members of Builder Security fled the Capital system in six [[second-order fast frigate]]s. Before the frigates could leave the system, Faber and his security killed all crew aboard the frigates.<ref name="string 5">'''Halo: Silentium''', ''String 5''</ref> After the Battle of the Capital, many believed that Faber had been killed. However, he was fighting against the [[Flood]] for many years with Builder Security and disgraced Warrior-Servants in isolated regions of the ecumene. The Builder Security had formed a makeshift fleet of damaged vessels for Faber to lead. After coming across the Ur-Didact on a damaged [[Forerunner cruiser]], Faber, along with his Builder Security and Warrior-Servant forces, returned to the center of the ecumene with the Didact.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''pages 191-195''</ref> | |||

==Organization== | |||
Builder Security was under the command of [[Master Builder]] [[Faber]] and often served as his personal military force. Originally, Builder Security only consisted of [[Forerunner]]s that were a part of the [[Builder]] [[rate]]. However, [[Warrior-Servant]]s that abandoned their rate began to enlist in Builder Security after the first exile of the [[Ur-Didact]]. The Master Builder would occasionally have dissenting voices removed by his loyal Builder Security forces.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''pages 90-91''</ref> The father of [[Maker-of-Moons]], for example, was executed by Builder Security for intervening at the trial of his daughter.{{Ref/Reuse|string 5}} | |||
