In 2559, the long-lost [[UNSC Spirit of Fire|UNSC ''Spirit of Fire'']] arrived at [[Installation 00]] via unknown means, encountering [[Banished]] forces led by [[Atriox]]. The two groups began a long campaign for control of the [[Forerunner]] megastructure, ultimately ending with the assassination of Atriox's lieutenant [[Decimus]], the destruction of the [[CAS-class assault carrier]] ''[[Enduring Conviction]]'' and the release of a [[Halo Array|Halo ring]], [[Installation 09]], intended to request help for the UNSC forces stranded on the Ark.

To Atriox's end, he tasked many of his officers and overseers with seeking out and securing caches of Forerunner and former-[[Covenant]] technology that would help bring an advantage in the conflict. One such leader, the [[Mgalekgolo]] population known simply as "[[Colony]]", would seek out and begin the recovery process of restoring a Forerunner [[Despair-class fighter]], a powerful weapon that could be potentially utilised to destroy the ''Spirit of Fire'' or call for Banished reinforcements back in the [[Milky Way]] galaxy. | To Atriox's end, he tasked many of his officers and overseers with seeking out and securing caches of Forerunner and former-[[Covenant]] technology that would help bring an advantage in the conflict.

With the ''Despair''-class fighter destroyed, neither Banished nor UNSC would be able to employ it for their purposes. Instead, Atriox would seek out other means of advancing his campaign on the Ark, tasking warlords [[Pavium]] and [[Voridus]] with salvaging the wreckage of the Covenant holy city [[High Charity]], which had crash-landed on the Ark in the [[Battle of Installation 00]] at the climax of the [[Human-Covenant War]]. This excursion would result in the release of the [[Flood]] from its quarantine zone, forcing Atriox to abandon several of his fortifications to contain the parasite.<ref name="Manifestation"> | With the ''Despair''-class fighter destroyed, neither Banished nor UNSC would be able to employ it for their purposes.
