After examining the ''[[Floral Express]]'' | After examining the ''[[Floral Express]]''{{'}}s flight records, and finding a possible Halo installation in the [[Khaphrae system]], ONI contacted and redirected pioneer teams to Khaphrae. Soon after confirming it was Installation 03, the teams attempted to find and secure the installation's [[Library]] to recover the [[activation index]]. Since Earth was [[Battle for Earth|under attack]] at the time, the teams could not return home, and they did not have the force of arms to remain on the ring, the teams settled in for a long habitation in a makeshift orbital base which they named Ivanoff Station. Shortly after the end of the war Ivanoff was expanded into a permanent UNSC facility.<ref name="Mythos">''[[Halo Mythos]]'', p. 164</ref><ref name="warfleet"/> The facility maintained a small fleet of Pelicans and Darters to transport personnel and cargo between the ring and station, protected by squadrons of F-41 Broadsword fighters.<ref name="warfleet"/> | ||

Searching for the Composer after being revived on Requiem, the [[Didact]] traveled to the station and [[Raid on Ivanoff Station|attacked it]] with [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant remnant]] forces loyal to him. Despite the efforts of the [[John-117|Master Chief]] who had hitched a ride on a [[Lich]], the Didact succeeded in getting the Composer and fired it at Ivanoff Station, digitizing everyone except the Master Chief who had an immunity to the weapon activated in him earlier by the [[Librarian]]. With everyone in the station dead and the Didact leaving, the Master Chief abandoned the station in one of its [[F-41 Broadsword]] fighters armed with one of the station's excavation-grade [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]]s in hopes of stopping the Didact from doing the same to Earth.<ref name="composer"/> | Searching for the Composer after being revived on Requiem, the [[Didact]] traveled to the station and [[Raid on Ivanoff Station|attacked it]] with [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant remnant]] forces loyal to him.

Built into the side of a planetary fragment, Ivanoff Station originally began life as a simple makeshift orbital habitat that would be quickly expanded into a permanent facility dedicated to scouring the Halo for secrets of the Forerunners. It is roughly made up of three specifically-built module sections that are all interconnected within the station. The main section of the station is host to its primary [[hangar bay]], known as the Harbor, which can handle small cargo transports, fighters, and dropships. An energy barricade system lines its opening to retain the hangar's atmosphere as ships pass in and out, allowing it to remain pressurized at all times. Two thermal control arrays are also present here adjust the station's temperature by either pumping waste heat back into its host asteroid, or by using two radiator vane panels to release it into space. As with all ONI science stations, Ivanoff is equipped with a variety of specialized laboratories and workshops, although it also possesses additional state-of-the-art facilities for the storage, deconstruction, and analysis of Forerunner machinery. A habitation module is suspended from the station via framework booms. The station has at least two wavecom relays, which are the most advanced supraluminal communications system available to ONI.<ref name="warfleet"/> | Built into the side of a planetary fragment, Ivanoff Station originally began life as a simple makeshift orbital habitat that would be quickly expanded into a permanent facility dedicated to scouring the Halo for secrets of the Forerunners.
