'''Annex Ridge''' was a [[Banished]] research facility established on [[Zeta Halo]] during the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]]. Its main purpose was to study, store and transport the mysterious [[totem ring]]s scattered across the ring's surface. The [[Jiralhanae]] commander [[Zeretus]] was in charge of the outpost.{{Ref/Reuse|wftp}}

During the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]] in [[2560]], the Banished leadership was convinced by studymaster [[Ciar 'Yaham]] and [[Dahk'rah]] to set up Annex Ridge,{{Ref/Novel|Id=Pyre|Halo: Whispers from the Pyre}} where they could conduct research on the ring's artifacts.{{Ref/Game|Id=ahap|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Outpost Intel 3|UNSC Audio log|Detail=Outpost Intel #11 - A Hastily-Assembled Plan}} At some point during the conflict, Spartans [[Rosado]] and [[M. Jaide]] detected signal spikes from Annex Ridge, and hijacked one of the [[Barukaza Workshop siege-hauler]]s, which carried at least three totem rings.{{Ref/Game|Id=wftp|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Outpost Intel 4|Banished Audio log|Detail=Outpost Intel #12 - Whispers from the Past}} They likely managed to escape with the siege-hauler, as the same transport was later reported as lost by the Banished commander [[Zeretus]].{{Ref/Reuse|wftp}}

In late May of 2560, [[John-117]] discovered the outpost and attacked it in order to stop the Banished from learning more about Zeta Halo. He destroyed the facility's fuel silo, causing a chain reaction that destroyed a nearby [[Barukaza Workshop siege-hauler]] before it could transport several totem rings offsite.{{Ref/Quest|Id=Annex Ridge|HI|Reformation|Annex Ridge}} Having left the outpost earlier to study a set of totem rings nearby, 'Yaham and Dahk'rah were spared from the Spartan's assault. Upon their return, the two recovered the data stored in the totem ring being studied in the outpost's lower pit — it contained a recording of the monitor [[117649 Despondent Pyre]] musing over the ring's history. With UNSC forces gathering at the nearby [[FOB Kilo]] and moving towards the outpost, the two retreated from Annex Ridge to search for a new base of operations.{{Ref/Reuse|Pyre}}
