Both the ring and the Coelest system at large were quarantined after the war, and as of [[2558]], UNSC and [[Swords of Sanghelios]] ships patrol the region.<ref name="HOSFM84">''[[Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual]]'', ''page 99''</ref>

At some point, unusual activity on the ring was investigated by ONI through remote surveying technology. The intelligence agency discovered strange structures that suddenly appeared on the installation's surface at key power and data junctions. ONI created War Games simulations [[Orion]] and [[Pegasus]] based off of these structures for Spartan-IVs to train in, with the intent to send these Spartans to Installation 05 to examine the structures. The Spartans were trained to deal with any possible threat from [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s, [[Promethean]] constructs, or [[Covenant remnants]] that would interfere with the investigation. It was later discovered that, around these structures, the local Aggressor Sentinels suddenly became actively hostile and organized.<ref name="canonfodder">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-beta-late-than-never '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Beta Late Than Never'']</ref>
