Installation 00 Citadel: Difference between revisions

Narrowly escaping the [[Battle of the greater Ark|destruction of the greater Ark]] in the final hours of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], the [[IsoDidact]] arrived at Installation 00 with the intent of firing the Halo Array and stopping the Flood, which now controlled most of the galaxy. Sharing all resources with the [[metarch]] [[Offensive Bias]], the Citadel functioned as a command hub for the complex action of coordinating the deployment and firing processes of the rings. This was performed almost exclusively by Offensive Bias, who was simultaneously present at the [[Maginot Line]] with the Forerunners' last combined [[Forerunner fleet|fleet]], tasked with stalling the [[logic plague|subverted]] [[Mendicant Bias]] and the [[Flood]]'s enormous fleet long enough for the Halos to fire.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''pages 326-328''</ref>

Due to the damage the Citadel sustained, it was eventually completely destroyed as the Ark repaired itself and changed its surface in countless different ways.{{Ref/Reuse|DW7}} By [[2559#October|October 2559]], all but [[Epsilon Clarion|one]] of the other facilities in the Clarion network were off-line for repairs when the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] and the [[Covenant loyalists]] sought to activate the array. According to the Epsilon Spire's submonitor, the other facilities in the network like the Citadel are either inoperable or inaccessible and may remain that way for some time.{{Ref/Reuse|DW8}}
