Fortress (location): Difference between revisions

In early [[2558]] this location was held by [[Promethean Crawler]]s and [[Promethean Watcher]]s, and it was north of the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]]'s operation of influence. [[Fireteam Crimson]] was sent to the Fortress to deactivate a Forerunner tower by [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Sarah Palmer]]. After taking down Forerunner communications jammers, Crimson cleared the area of Prometheans and deactivated the Forerunner structures and were extracted.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''',  [[Departure/The Challenge|S1E1 The Challenge]]</ref>

[[Hacksaw Squad]] was sent to hold the Fortress, but came under heavy attack by [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] forces. Crimson was sent in after Hacksaw radioed Palmer for assistance. Clearing through the Covenant, [[Robert Dalton]] asked Crimson and Hacksaw to go to the top of the Forerunner tower for evac. However, several [[Type-44 Phantom|Phantoms]] arrived carrying high-ranking [[Sangheili]]. They were defeated, and Crimson and what remained of Hacksaw's survivors, if any, were transported away in a [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]].<ref>'''Spartan Ops''',  [[Artifact (Spartan Ops)/Hacksaw|S1E2 Hacksaw]]</ref>

Later, Covenant forces retook the position and [[Jul 'Mdama]] fled here from "[[Two Giants]]" after his location was discovered via [[Slipspace translocation]]. Crimson followed, and arrived at the Fortress, but was too late to catch 'Mdama as he had left to "[[The Cauldron]]" through another portal. Clearing the Fortress of Covenant, Crimson pursued 'Mdama, exiting the Fortress through a portal. <ref>'''Spartan Ops''',  [[Didact's Hand/Random Transport|S1E4 Random Transport]]</ref>
