==Summary==
}}
The {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} emerges inside the inner [[Dyson sphere]] of [[Trove]] [[shield world]] and almost immediately ends up on a collision course with the [[Covenant]] {{Pattern|Sinaris|heavy destroyer}} ''[[Proclamation's Tithe]]''. Despite the ship quickly adjusting course, the port side of the ''Spirit of Fire'' collides with the destroyer, heavily damaging the ship and destroying several [[D20 Heron|Herons]]. The ''Proclamation's Tithe'' opens fire on the ''Spirit of Fire'' as Captain [[James Cutter]] orders repair teams led by Sergeant [[John Forge]] to the top deck and [[Serina]] notices that they are actually inside the planet.
'''Repairs''' is the 12th level of the real-time strategy game, ''[[Halo Wars]]'' <ref>''Official Xbox Magazine: March 2009'' - ''Halo Wars'' Review</ref>. The [[Spirit of Fire|''Spirit of Fire'']] flies out a tunnel directly into the air, very soon, they are found up against [[Covenant]] once again. After colliding with a [[Unnamed Covenant Destroyer|Covenant Destroyer]] (which destroys all the [[Pod]] drop ships docked on the left-hand side of the [[Spirit of Fire|''Spirit of Fire'']]), [[Sergeant]] [[John Forge]] is charged with using several [[Cyclops]] to repair the ship's Power Core. Although they are besieged by [[Spirit]] Dropships carrying platoons of [[Covenant]] squads and [[Banshee]]s, the [[UNSC]] forces have [[Hawk]]s, [[Wolverine]]s, [[Gremlin]]s, [[Turret]]s and [[Marine]] squads to counter back. Once the Power Core is repaired, [[Sergeant Forge]] and all [[UNSC]] forces above are recalled back into the ship.
 
Commanded by Forge, several [[HRUNTING Mark III (B) Cyclops|Cyclops]] set to work repairing the ship's damaged power core with the damage preventing the ''Spirit of Fire'' from escaping. As the repairs are conducted, the destroyer sends over multiple boarding parties using [[Dextro Xur-pattern Spirit|Spirit dropships]] as well as [[Oghal-pattern Banshee|Banshees]] and [[Shua'ee-pattern Locust|Locusts]]. Troops and vehicles from the ''Spirit of Fire'' struggle to repel the heavy assault while repairs are made, and the destroyer continues to exchange fire with the ''Spirit of Fire''.
 
Finally, after the ship's power core is repaired, Captain Cutter orders Serina to take the ''Spirit of Fire'' away at best speed and the ship escapes the Covenant destroyer.

''Level opens to a calm, pine-forested area surrounded by Forerunner structures clustered around an opening in the ground, presumably designed for entry into the interior of the Shield World. Soon, the ground begins to quake violently, before the massive frame of the Spirit of Fire emerges from said entrance port at high speed. The UNSC vessel is then revealed to be heading straight towards a [[Unnamed Covenant Destroyer|Covenant Destroyer]]. Cut to the bridge of the Spirit of Fire.''

''Despite course corrections, the Spirit of Fire fails to completely avoid the incoming ship, and the Destroyer violently shears through the port side of the Spirit of Fire, devastating it along with its supply of [[Pod]]s. The Destroyer emerges unscathed from the violent collision, most likely protected by it's energy shields and begins to slow down along with the Spirit of Fire, putting the two vessels hovering directly next to one another. Cut to the Bridge of the Spirit of Fire.''

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*There is a text glitch on this mission. Spartan Red Team is incorrectly labeled as "Spartan Omega Team" during gameplay, when a player selects them.
*In the pre-rendered cutscene the lines on the surface of the shield world are latitudinal, though they are longitudinal in-game. ''Spirit of Fire's'' Marine complement probably required a few minutes to reach the outer hull, during which time the ships could have altered their respective headings, explaining the change in the lines' orientation. The terrain on the surface also looks slightly different, likely due to graphical limitations.
*While in the pre-rendered cinematics the lines on the surface of the shield world are latitudinal, they are longitudinal in-game. The appearance of the surface is also different. However, this is probably just due to in-game graphical limitations.
*Spartan units from [[Red Team]] are incorrectly labelled as "Spartan Omega Team" when the player selects them during gameplay.
*To do this on legendary do what I did: place all ground units by they core. Train 5 cyclops to repair it then the rest hawks. Also rally all air units by the first air locks to the east of the core. When serina says the core is almost complete or when the covenant start swarming you, whichever comes first, rally everything by the core to make your last stand.
*The [[Repairs glitch]] can be done on this level. The player first has to kill all the marines but make sure their Hornets survive. Upgrade the Hornets to the max then make the rest of the units Cyclops. While the Cyclopes are still being made,  get the Hornets fully upgraded and keep on selecting outside the map. Once all of the Cyclops are built, the player will have their Hornets and the camera stuck outside the map, and a {{Pattern|Emp'seam|Antlion}} can be seen floating in midair. This may take a few tries to perform, and once outside the map, the player cannot get back in to the level.
*The ''Spirit of Fire's'' deck guns aid you in this mission, destroying Banshees and Spirits in a few shots. Don't rely on them alone, however, as they have a slow rate of fire and cannot attack ground units.
