==Summary==

In order to pass through the docking rings, Sergeant [[John Forge]] and the ''Spirit of Fire's'' crew work to cleanse the ship's hull of the Flood while avoiding the Sentinels and cleansing ring sent by the installation's AI. After a struggle, the ''Spirit of Fire's'' forces manage to clear the hull and the ship makes it through the entrance portal.

At an earlier point in this level's [[Development of Halo Wars|development]], the level was intended to feature a [[Cut Halo Wars units#Cut Sentinel boss|Sentinel boss fight]]. The Sentinel's capabilities are unknown, though images uploaded by artist Robert Walden indicate that the Sentinel boss would have been four-to-five times the size of even the [[Super Sentinel]]s, and emit projectiles akin to a [[plasma mortar]]. The unit's model files remain inside ''Halo Wars''.
Interestingly, the cut Sentinel boss design was later reused as the [[Protector Sentinel (Installation 00)|Protector Sentinel]] in ''[[Halo Wars 2]]''.

*Near the start, Sentinels are shown as yellow blips on the mini-map, but after the first ring comes, they are shown as red blips.

*On closer inspection, one will notice that the whole level is an optical illusion, as the ''Spirit of Fire'' is not actually moving, the walls are. This can be seen properly if one moves the camera up against the tunnel walls and looks at the ''Spirit''.

*This level introduces what is, functionally, a miniature [[Halo Array]], except that rather than having an effect range on a stellar scale, the ring only creates an energy field within its own diameter, destroying any form of life, including Flood. However, because the energy field also causes damage to inorganic matter, such as vehicles and buildings, and does not cause instantaneous death, the technologies used to create the two systems are shown to be unrelated. While entering the insides of the planet, the crew aboard the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} must travel through a narrow tunnel through the thin crust of the Shield World's outer sphere. The miniature Halo Array "cleanses" any Flood or unknown sentient species, protecting the interior of the [[Etran Harborage]]. Nonetheless, the Flood have apparently found a way to bypass this quarantine system, and have successfully taken hold on the Shield World's interior, as is revealed in two levels later, ''[[Beachhead (Halo Wars level)|Beachhead]]''.
