In [[2553#December|December 2553]], the chase for the Tuwa family's killers during [[Operation: RETRIBUTION]] led both the UNSC and the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] to Meridian after learning that Sloan had been responsible for putting President [[Arlo Casille]] of [[Gao]] in contact with [[Dark Moon Enterprises]] who were responsible for the Tuwa family's deaths as part of a plot to weaponize [[asteroidea merozoite]]. As the Keepers and UNSC converged on [[Pinnacle Station]], the [[archeon-class ancilla|''archeon''-class ancilla]] [[Intrepid Eye]], the true mastermind behind the [[bioweapon]] plot, sent [[Lieutenant]] [[Bartalan Craddog]] and [[Papa-10]] to eliminate the Dark Moon couriers and retrieve the Tuwa family's organs. A fight broke out on Pinnacle Station between the Keepers and rogue operatives, leading to both sides taking the fight to Meridian's surface with Papa-10 aided by Sloan after Intrepid Eye's remote aspect [[Oriel]] made a deal with him to help fund Liang-Dortmund's efforts. Shortly thereafter, [[Spartan-II]] [[Blue Team]] and ONI's [[Ferret]] team, made up mainly of [[Spartan-III]]'s, arrived in pursuit. In an abandoned mine on Meridian, the three factions engaged in combat, with most of the Keepers and Papa-10 being eliminated. The last member of Papa-10 nearly succeeded in escaping Meridian with the Tuwa's organs in [[cryo-jar]]s, but Ferret leader [[Veta Lopis]] destroyed the organs with [[C-12 shaped charge|C-12]] explosives, killing the last member of Papa-10 and destroying the Pinnacle Station utility skiff that had been acting as their escape craft. Unknown to anyone but Intrepid Eye, Oriel was also destroyed in the explosion, leaving her unable to confirm the results of her efforts. The UNSC was left satisfied that the bioweapon plot was thwarted, unaware that Intrepid Eye was the true culprit. The Keeper [[Dokab]] [[Castor]], the only survivor of the battle from that faction, was left stranded on Meridian with a broken [[translation disk]] and looking for a way off of the moon.<ref>'''[[Halo: Retribution]]'''</ref> | In [[2553#December|December 2553]], the chase for the Tuwa family's killers during [[Operation: RETRIBUTION]] led both the UNSC and the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] to Meridian after learning that Sloan had been responsible for putting President [[Arlo Casille]] of [[Gao]] in contact with [[Dark Moon Enterprises]] who were responsible for the Tuwa family's deaths as part of a plot to weaponize [[asteroidea merozoite]].

While the Guardian's activation heavily damaged Liang-Dortmund's local headquarters at Meridian Station and resulted in the destruction of Pinnacle Station, the corporation's regional directors implemented contingency plans to mitigate the economic impact and reconstitute operations on Meridian. Relocating to the surviving Darkstar Station on the other side of the world with many of the corporation's employees now stationed in Meridian's orbit, Liang-Dortmund continued to work to extract Meridian's resources, despite the uncertain astro-political climate that resulted from Cortana's efforts.

By late [[2559]]-early [[2560]], all of the settlements on Meridian's surface had been effectively abandoned. Following the [[Battle over Installation 07|defeat]] of the Created in late 2559, [[High Auxiliary]] [[Sloan]] ventured to Meridian and took control of a [[Promethean Knight]] that had been left wandering the surface of the planet. As he traversed the planet looking for signs of life or activity, he considered the [[essence]] of the [[Composer|composed]] human occupying the Promethean shell and compared them to both himself and the planet of Meridian himself; considering all three an evolution rather than a destruction. He came to the conclusion that the Created's defeat was just a setback rather than a full downfall, and that giving up would do nothing to restore honour to Meridian itself.{{Ref/Novel|Id=MDHC|HMerDi|Detail=Adjunct - [[Meridian Homecoming]]}} These comparisons and conclusions evidently became manifest in Sloan's [[Executor]] program. | |||
