Another one of the Ark's Cartographers, radically different in layout and design from the one encountered in 2552, was utilized by the [[Banished]] during their occupation of the Ark in [[2559]] to map out the megastructure and take control of its [[Teleportation grid|portal network]]. During the [[Second Ark Conflict]] between the Banished and the UNSC forces from the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}, the latter assaulted and successfully took control of the Cartographer. From the Cartographer, Professor [[Ellen Anders]] learned of [[Atriox]]'s use of it to take control of the portal network,<ref name="The Cartographer">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', campaign level ''[[The Cartographer]]''</ref> leading to a successful mission to cripple Atriox's ability to use the network.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Lights Out]]''</ref> In addition, Anders learned about the Ark's weapons systems through the Cartographer.<ref name="The Cartographer" /> Isabel later uses this information to have the ''Spirit of Fire's'' crew take over one of the Ark's [[particle cannon]]s to immobilize the Banished {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} ''[[Enduring Conviction]]'' and take down its shields as part of a plan to destroy the ship.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Hold the Line]]''</ref>
