While exploring the ship, the Banished troops were ambushed by the surviving Covenant forces aboard the keyship - who no one had expected to still be alive. Despite using their old Covenant-era equipment, the Covenant troops were able to put up heavy resistance against the Banished troops and arranged several successful ambushes. Later on, they deployed six Phantom dropships to support their attack, proving to outnumber the Banished raiding party considerably. Nonetheless, the Banished force's [[Skewer]]s proved capable anti-air weapons in the battle, and the force was ultimately able to escape with the shards retrieved - though at considerably cost to their own numbers. The loyalist forces remained inside the keyship a potential threat to future operations in the region.{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}} | While exploring the ship, the Banished troops were ambushed by the surviving Covenant forces aboard the keyship - who no one had expected to still be alive.

Under the leadership of [[Prelate]] [[Dhas Bhasvod]], the Covenant loyalists ally with the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] when they arrive on the Ark in [[2559#October|October 2559]] seeking to fire the [[Halo Array]] and begin the Great Journey. Aided by the Forerunner [[Archeon-class ancilla]] [[Intrepid Eye]], the Keepers and the loyalists nearly succeed in their mission, but they are ultimately foiled by the Banished and the UNSC. In the process, [[Castor]] learns the truth about the Halos and breaks off his alliance with the loyalists as the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} launches an orbital bombardment that destroys [[Epsilon Clarion]] and Intrepid Eye. The battle wipes out the Keepers completely aside from Castor and [[Blademaster]] [[Inslaan 'Gadogai]] while the only survivor of the loyalist forces that took part is Bhasvod.{{Ref/ | Under the leadership of [[Prelate]] [[Dhas Bhasvod]], the Covenant loyalists ally with the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] when they arrive on the Ark in [[2559#October|October 2559]] seeking to fire the [[Halo Array]] and begin the Great Journey.
