Following the Covenant ship where Anders was being held captive brought the ''Spirit'' to a [[Shield 0459|Forerunner installation]], where Anders' signal was found emitting from the "planet's" surface. Cutter sent Forge down to the surface, where a [[Flood|parasitic lifeform]] was found to have infested the installation. After much battle with Covenant forces on the interior of the Shield World, Anders was eventually found by Sergeant Forge after she had escaped. She had gained knowledge of a fleet of [[Unnamed Forerunner Starship|Forerunner warships]] that the Covenant planned to use against humanity. Anders soon devised a plan to use the ''Spirit of Fire's'' [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|FTL reactor]] to cause the [[Astroengineering#Stars|artificial sun]] inside the Shield World to go [[supernova]], to destroy the ships before the Covenant could make use of them. Forge and [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN]] [[Red Team]] defeated 'Moramee and his guards, although the reactor core was damaged. Forge stayed behind to manually overload the reactor. Cutter, using a dangerous slingshot maneuver around the expanding sun, managed to escape the explosion of the sun, after which the ''Spirit of Fire'' began a long journey home. Two weeks later, Cutter forced Anders into [[Cryo-chamber|cryo-stasis]], stating that she "..got all of [them] out of there alive." As the pod closed, Anders reminded the captain that not everyone had survived.<ref>''[[Halo Wars]]''</ref> | Following the Covenant ship where Anders was being held captive brought the ''Spirit'' to a [[Shield 0459|Forerunner installation]], where Anders' signal was found emitting from the "planet's" surface.

In [[2558|March 2558]] the freighter, Pilgrims Pride, was carrying several [[AC-220 Vulture]]s and [[AV-22 Sparrowhawk]]s that were previously attached to the Spirit of Fire. | In [[2558|March 2558]] the freighter, ''[[Pilgrims Pride]]'', was carrying several [[AC-220 Vulture]]s and [[AV-22 Sparrowhawk]]s that were previously attached to the ''Spirit of Fire''. The ''Pilgrims Pride'' launched a surprise attack on the UNSC Infinity and attempted to self-destruct inside the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}'s bay. The Spartans managed to eject the freighter out of the bay. After recovering the remains of the attacking Vultures and Sparrowhawks, the crew used the ID numbers on the hulls to identify the ships as belonging to the ''Spirit of Fire''. Confusing matters, the crew discovered that ''Pilgrims Pride'' had been constructed only five years earlier. While Commander [[Sarah Palmer]] speculated that the assault craft may have been stolen from the ''Spirit of Fire'' before the ship was lost, [[Roland]] pointed out that the assault craft were in fairly good condition for their age. Roland also determined that the freighter itself had been launched from [[Oth Lodon]], a gas giant deep inside Jiralhanae-controlled space.<ref name="HE5"/> | ||
Despite the diplomatic risks, Lord Terrence Hood, who felt guilty over his role in the Spirit of Fire's disappearance, ordered the Infinity to investigate. When they arrived at the coordinates, they found not the Spirit but Shipmaster [[Vata 'Gajat]]'s ship, which was docked to a massive glassing cannon. His son now-Captain Daniel Clayton contacted the ''Infinity'', revealing himself to be aligned with the [[New Colonial Alliance]]. Intending to exact revenge on Lord Hood, Clayton fired a massive energy beam at the ''Infinity''.<ref name="HE5"/> | |||
