Some time later, after Cortana unleashed Guardians on the galaxy, a violent mercenary faction known as the [[Banished]], led by the [[Jiralhanae]] warlord [[Atriox]], arrived at the Ark and sought to take control of it.<ref name="atriox">''[[Halo Wars 2 Atriox Trailer]]''</ref> They slaughtered all of the humans at the [[Henry Lamb Research Outpost]], leaving no survivors but the logistics AI, [[Isabel]]. Four months later, in [[2559#May|May, 2559]], after 28 years of drifting, the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} arrived at the Ark. Awakened from cryo-sleep, the crew under command of Cpt. [[James Cutter]] attempted to re-establish contact with UNSC. In order to do that, Spartan-II [[Red Team]] was deployed and tasked with investigating the distress signal coming from the surface. There they encountered Isabel and Atriox, who managed to severely wound [[Douglas-042]] and forced the Spartans to retreat back to ''Spirit of Fire''.<ref name="The Signal">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[The Signal]]''</ref> | |||
In the next few days the ''Spirit of Fire'' ground teams led by the members of Red Team conducted multiple offensive operations against the Banished, including disrupting their salvage operations,<ref name="A New Enemy">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[A New Enemy]]''</ref> crippling their portal network <ref name="Lights Out">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[Lights Out]]''</ref> and destroying Atriox's flagship, {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} the ''[[Enduring Conviction]]''.<ref name="Under The Dark">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[Under The Dark]]''</ref> During this time at the Ark's [[Foundry]], a [[Installation 04C|new replacement]] for [[Installation 04]] was created. So the race for the Halo had began: Atriox wanted to use it against the humans and Cpt. Cutter planned to disarm it and send it with [[distress beacon]] to the location of the original ring, which would draw UNSC reinforcements to the Ark.<ref name="The Foundry">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[The Foundry]]''</ref> Eventually the ''Spirit of Fire'' crew got the upper hand and in the final battle over Halo's [[control room]] they eliminated all Banished forces on the ring. <ref name="The Halo">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[The Halo]]''</ref>The UNSC forces managed to evacuate from Halo just before it entered the slipspace for [[Soell system]], however Prof. [[Ellen Anders]] became stranded inside control room and left the Ark with the Halo. Although soon it was intercepted by one of the [[Created]]' [[Guardian]]s. Meanwhile back on the Ark both Cpt. Cutter and Atriox began planning their next moves against each other not willing to leave the Ark to one another.<ref name="Last Stand">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[Last Stand]]''</ref> | |||
