In [[2559]], the outpost was attacked by the [[Banished]], a mercenary organization led by the [[Jiralhanae]] warlord, [[Atriox]]. All base personnel were killed. However, Isabel managed to remain hidden from the Banished. She issued a distress beacon, which was later intercepted by the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}, which had arrived over the Ark through unknown means after 28 years of drifting through space.<ref name="gamespot"/> [[Spartan-II]] [[Red Team]] was deployed to the Ark to investigate the beacon, where they came across Isabel. However, they were soon ambushed by Atriox and his troops. With [[Douglas-042]] wounded, the Spartans extracted Isabel and evacuated back to the ship, covering their exfil with orbital bombardment. The outpost was subsequently destroyed by [[Archer missile]]s launched from the UNSC ''Spirit of Fire''.<ref name="story vidoc">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bv-VAGUuc34&feature=youtu.be '''YouTube''': ''Halo Wars 2 Story Vidoc'']</ref>
