The Menachite Forerunner complex was created in prehistory by the Forerunners. Their exact reasons for doing so, other than to hold the Forerunner crystal, are unknown. After humans colonized Reach, they tunneled into the mountain for purposes of mining its rich [[titanium]] content. The [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] took over the mountain after the mine was built and installed [[CASTLE Base]] into the tunnels originally created for the mine. Colonel [[James Ackerson]] of ONI knew of the existence of the Menachite Forerunner Complex, and made uncovering its secrets a secret project. He was, however, unable to learn of its entrance.

When the [[Covenant]] invaded Reach, they began digging into the mountain in search of the crystal. Dr. Catherine Halsey, along with SPARTANs [[Vinh-030|030]], [[Isaac-039|039]], [[William-043|043]], [[Kelly-087|087]], and 104, fled the endangered CASTLE Base and into the remaining mine tunnels. There they discovered the outer part of the complex and managed to gain entrance. Just after they took the Forerunner crystal, Covenant forces successfully blasted their way into the complex, and Covenant infantry killed Isaac and Vinh, although the others managed to retreat into a deep tunnel. After some time, [[John-117]] along with a small human force assaulted the main chamber with a captured [[Spirit]] dropship. They managed to rescue the remaining SPARTANs and Dr. Halsey, and then outran thousands of Covenant soldiers trying to capture the crystal. | When the [[Covenant]] invaded Reach, they began digging into the mountain in search of the crystal.
