Sunray 1-1 was | Sunray 1-1 was assigned to {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} in the early years of the [[Human-Covenant War]], and were present on the ship in February of [[2531]] when the ship was pulled to the uncharted [[Korinth Prior system]]. During the ensuing [[Battle of Trove|fight against]] the [[Covenant]] on the surface of [[Trove]], a [[Forerunner]] [[shield world]], Sunray were deployed on the ground against the forces of the [[Fleet of Glorious Interdiction]]. After the ship's [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|Shaw-Fujikawa translight engine]] was sacrificed to destroy the shield world, the members of Sunray 1-1 entered [[cryostasis]] along with the rest of the crew.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | ||

Over twenty-eight years later on March 28, [[2559]], Sunray 1-1 and everyone else were awakened to find themselves drifting above the extragalactic [[Installation 00]], also known as the Ark. | {{Main|Second Ark Conflict|Operation: SPEARBREAKER}} | ||
Over twenty-eight years later on March 28, [[2559]], Sunray 1-1 and everyone else were awakened to find themselves drifting above the extragalactic [[Installation 00]], also known as the Ark.{{Ref/Game|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=Alice-130 Report #1}} There, the vessel's forces were forced to contend with the [[Banished]], a heavily-armed faction of ex-Covenant that sought to control the Ark largely due to its capacity for producing [[Halo]] superweapons. | |||
In May of 2559, a month following the [[Battle of Installation 09|departure]] of [[Installation 09]] from the Ark, Sunray were deployed onto the Ark to investigate a cloaking field set up by the Banished to hide a new site of operations commanded by the [[Mgalekgolo]] [[Swarmlord]], [[Colony]]. Sunray landed on the Ark 1.8 miles from the site perimeter, and were tasked with performing a reconnaissance and observation mission. After the Banished presence was confirmed, ''Spirit of Fire'' deployed [[India Company]] to reinforce Sunray as they began to push deeper. Eventually, Sunray stumbled upon a Banished base of operations, and were able to acquire intelligence on the nature of their plan: reactivate an ancient Forerunner {{Class|Despair|fighter}} and use it to destroy ''Spirit of Fire''. However, the fighter was still a dormant [[design seed]], which meant that there was a short amount of time available to stop the plan before it could be brought to completion. Sunray proceeded to act as the spearhead of a large combined-arms force supported by ''Spirit of Fire'' in an attack on a number of control points critical to the operation of the cloaking field surrounding the site, successfully fending off numerous Banished and [[Sentinel]] attacks including a large [[Retriever Sentinel]].{{Ref/Level|HW2|Gatecrashers}} | |||
Sunray | With the first stage of the operation a success, Sunray then proceeded to move on to an assault on the launch site itself. This second attack resulted in the deployment of numerous [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark II (J) Colossus|Mark II Colossi]] to help destroy the Forerunner mechanisms constructing the ''Despair''-class fighter, delaying the fifteen-minute countdown sufficiently long enough to allow UNSC forces an opening to destroy the site with an [[AV-14 Hornet]] air strike.{{Ref/Level|HW2|Not On My Watch}} | ||
Upon returning from their successful mission, Sunray were quickly moved on to conduct more missions against the Banished. Shortly following the success of SPEARBREAKER, the team were used to perform a series of assassinations on Banished officers identified as critical to the operations of [[Atriox]]. One mission in particular was a resounding success, with Corporal [[Devon Sparks]] using tactics gleaned from after-action reports of the war-era [[Operation: GREY VEIL]] assasination on [[Heian]] to land a killing shot against a Jiralhanae [[Captain (Covenant)|Captain]] that quickly became legend among the ''Spirit of Fire''{{'}}s crew. Throughout the later months of 2559, they were deployed among several Banished-occupied regions of the Ark in strikes against a variety of hostile forces including the aforementioned Banished, and those of both Sentinel and [[Armiger]] threats.{{Ref/Site|Id=CF100|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sweet-centennial|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Sweet Centennial|D=24|M=09|Y=2021}} | |||
