 The final battle of the war was fought in [[2552#December|December 11, 2552]].<ref name="fortitude"/> A small fleet of human and Sangheili forces was sent through the portal, leading them to the Ark, just outside the [[Milky Way]]. As they arrived, the Covenant fleet above the Ark immediately attacked. Though the joint human-Sangheili fleet was outnumbered 3-1, the battle ended in defeat for Truth's Jiralhanae fleet. At the same time, UNSC forces were deployed to the surface of the Ark in order to stop Truth, who was attempting to activate the Halo Array from the Ark's [[Installation 00 Citadel|Citadel]].<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level, ''[[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]''</ref>
-Led by the Master Chief, the UNSC forces smashed through the remaining Covenant resistance on the ground. The battle was complicated by the arrival of ''High Charity''. As the Flood began to spread, the Chief and the [[Thel 'Vadamee|Arbiter]] went on to thwart Truth, who died in mid-Flood-infection at the Arbiter's hand with the Flood helping to reach him. Truth's corpse was presumably subsequently assimilated into the [[Gravemind]]. John-117 deactivated the Halo Array, preserving all life within its firing pattern. With the Covenant forces completely shattered, Truth's death marked the effective end to the war.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level, ''[[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]]''</ref>  The Flood still remained a threat, but were eliminated by John-117, the Arbiter, Cortana and Sergeant Johnson by firing the isolated replacement Halo over the Ark itself, destroying both installations. Although ''Forward Unto Dawn'' managed an emergency slipspace jump, the portal collapsed splitting the vessel in half. Trapped in the rear section of the frigate, John-117 placed himself into cryosleep until he could be retrieved, eventually drifting to the Forerunner shield world of [[Requiem]]. The UNSC's greatest soldier, and humanity's champion, was presumed dead.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level, ''[[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]]''</ref>
