In [[2558#October|October 2558]], a force of artificial intelligences known as the [[Created]], led by [[Cortana]] and the [[Warden Eternal]] alongside an army of [[Promethean]]s, rose up and began to [[The Reclamation|subjugate]] the [[Milky Way]] galaxy. A year following this rise, Blue Team were deployed from {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} to CASTLE Base to investigate assets hidden in Halsey's laboratory that may have survived the base's destruction, and help to lead to the defeat of the AI uprising. The team consisted of John-117, [[Frederic-104]], [[Kelly-087]] and [[Linda-058]], who had begun to employ their own variants of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN3)]].{{Ref/Reuse|CFshadows}}

Meanwhile a trio of Seraphs arrived and opened fire on the crash site. Fred used the drilling jumbo as a makeshift anti-aircraft gun and destroyed two Seraphs. The third Seraph attempted to perform evasive manuevers but ended up crashing. John and Kelly finished retrieving Major Van Houte from the Owl, as more Seraphs arrived to investigate. As they were evacuating the crash site, John noticed the damaged Seraph had crash-landed nearby. Using [[M9 fragmentation grenade|grenades]] to distract the newly arrived Seraphs, John inspected the crashed Seraph and discovered it had [[Banished]] markings on it. Once the team was at a safe distance, Van Houte activated the ''Special Delivery''{{'}}s self-destruct. The attacking Seraphs were caught in the blast and destroyed.{{Ref/Reuse|SoRChapt2}}

The survivors of the ''Special'' would move into [[Tárnoc Gorge]] in the [[Ujeger Highlands]] with the burrowing equipment. However, the gorge couldn't easily accommodate everything adequately.{{Ref/Reuse|SoRchapt4}}
===Orbit===
To prevent the actions on Reach from alerting the [[Created]], three {{Class|Anlace|light frigate}}s were deployed to create a full-spectrum jamming blanket around the world. [[Longsword]]s were also deployed to try and destroy some of the hundreds of defunct satellites in orbit that could transmit information.{{Ref/Reuse|chapt13}}

The Banished occupiers and UNSC forces withdrew from Reach before Cortana's Guardian arrived. Some troops were left behind on Reach till the end of the [[Created conflict]] and the [[Viery Militia]] regained control over [[Arany Basin]]. Dr. Halsey got the cryobins from CASTLE BASE.

The Banished managed to open the portal on the Menachite Forerunner complex, allowing Atriox and some of his forces travel from Installation 00 to Reach on the Lich ''[[Pegoras]]'',{{Ref/Novel|Halo: Divine Wind|Chapter=1}} but after this Castor and his Keepers betrayed the Banished and stole their Lich, traveling to the Lesser Ark to fulfill their Great Journey. Unknown to them, the undercover ONI operative Veta Lopis and her Ferret team went with them as well. On the Ark, with the help of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}, the Ferrets managed to foil the Keepers' plot and the faction was ultimately destroyed, leaving only [[Castor]] and [[Inslaan 'Gadogai]] as survivors.{{Ref/Novel|DW}}
