[[Vice Admiral]] [[Margaret Parangosky]] authorized the construction of the Spartan-III training base on Onyx in [[2531]]. This base, designated [[Camp Currahee]], was constructed perilously close to Zone 67, which had been declared strictly off limits. However, during a routine exercise north of Currahee, Spartan [[Team X-ray]] trespassed into Zone 67, entered a Forerunner structure, and disappeared without trace. An ONI investigation into the matter was inconclusive, although the Spartans were rumored to have encountered a "glowing eye" which detonated upon discovery. | [[Vice Admiral]] [[Margaret Parangosky]] authorized the construction of the Spartan-III training base on Onyx in [[2531]].

In [[2552]], Onyx's Sentinels were roused to action by the standby signal from [[Installation 05]], instigating the Battle of Onyx and revealing Onyx's true nature. The AI Endless Summer took command of all military personnel on Onyx to immediately defend Zone 67 per [[General Order 98.93.120]], after Onyx's Sentinels first started to attack the Spartan-IIIs. Endless Summer sent [[Kurt-051|Kurt Ambrose]] a flash transmission of several classified files pertaining to Onyx, but was interrupted by an explosion. Soon after, the surviving UNSC forces on Onyx regrouped and declared [[Bloody Arrow]]. | In [[2552]], Onyx's Sentinels were roused to action by the standby signal from [[Installation 05]], instigating the Battle of Onyx and revealing Onyx's true nature.

Kurt, [[Franklin Mendez|CPO Mendez]] and the Spartan-IIIs were soon joined by [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] and later, [[Blue Team]], and they eventually made their way into an excavated Forerunner city in [[Zone 67]]. Meanwhile, both the Covenant and the UNSC sent battle groups to retrieve Onyx's Forerunner technologies. The [[Patterson's battle group|UNSC battle group]] was destroyed in the ensuing battle.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 376''</ref> The humans, led by Kurt, fell back into the interior of Onyx and discovered its map room, where they were redirected by Endless Summer to destroy Onyx's Sentinel factory. Eventually, the survivors made a last stand against the Covenant in the core room antechamber, before retreating into the safety of the shield world. After the gateway into the shield world had closed, Kurt detonated two [[FENRIS nuclear warhead|nuclear warheads]], ensuring the Covenant did not follow his comrades. Immediately afterward, the Sentinels that had made up Onyx's foundational structure obliterated the terrestrial surface and decimated the Covenant fleet.<ref name="disintegrate"/> | Kurt, [[Franklin Mendez|CPO Mendez]] and the Spartan-IIIs were soon joined by [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] and later, [[Blue Team]], and they eventually made their way into an excavated Forerunner city in [[Zone 67]].
