After the fall of Reach, Thel 'Vadamee ordered those closest to his flagship to pursue the Pillar of Autumn to Installation 04. The Covenant warships, being naturally faster than human warships, arrived at Halo first and set up a blockade to prevent the humans from landing on the installation. Due to the [[Truth and Reconciliation's Prophet|Minor Prophet in the Fleet]]'s decree which forbids the usage of [[Plasma Torpedoes]] against the human warship due to concerns that the installation might be damaged in the crossfire, 'Vadamee was forced to send boarders over to capture and disable the human ship instead. In the battle that followed, the ''Autumn'' managed to destroy at least four of the Fleet's cruisers and damage several others, including the ''Truth and Reconciliation.'' Worse for the Covenant, the ''Autumn'' managed to hold off the boarding parties long enough to launch its escape pods at Halo. The Covenant destroyed some of the pods, but the rest landed on the ring. The ''Pillar of Autumn'' itself soon crash landed on Halo despite the Fleet's best efforts to stop it. | After the fall of Reach, Thel 'Vadamee ordered those closest to his flagship to pursue the Pillar of Autumn to Installation 04.

During the next several days of the [[Battle of Installation 04]], the Fleet of Particular Justice remained in orbit around Halo, sending numerous troops down to the surface in an attempt to both learn the secrets of the ring and to eliminate the human presence. The ''Truth and Reconciliation'' seemed to act as the flagship on the surface. Because the ring was considered sacred, the Fleet was unable to simply wipe the humans out from orbit as they were accustom to doing so. The Fleet eventually had their Agriculture Support Ship, the ''[[Infinite Succor]]'', boarded and subsequently hijacked by the Flood.<ref name="Halo Graphic Novel">'''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]''', ''[[The Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor]]''</ref> Realizing that the battle on Halo's surface would be lost due to the overwhelming Flood, the Covenant Leadership ordered the Fleet of Particular Justice to retreat from Halo.<ref name=Keyes (Level)>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''', ''[[Keyes (Level)]]: ''"The Covenant network is in absolute chaos!
