| | #Two-leveled room with a [[Shielded Plasma Cannon]] |
| During the Battle of Installation 05, the Jiralhanae had taken control of a network of Forerunner tunnels and structures in the region near the [[Control Room]]. After being [[teleportation grid|teleported]] into the area by the [[Gravemind]], the [[Arbiter]], [[Thel 'Vadam]], discovered the [[Great Schism|civil war]] that had broken out between [[Sangheili|his own kind]] and the Jiralhanae. Assisted by his fellow Sangheili and several other Covenant loyal to them, he made his way through a series of Jiralhanae-occupied caverns and Forerunner structures towards the Control Room.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Uprising]]''</ref>

| | ===Entrance Tunnels=== |
| | A series of tunnels from which the Arbiter entered. The Arbiter joined with a Special Operations Elite and two Hunters that would aid his attack on the Bastion of the Brutes. There was also an upturned [[Cargo/Gun Crate]] with [[plasma rifle]]s. Further on, there was another of such crates, this with a pair of fully-charged [[Particle Beam Rifle]]s. |
| | ===Turret Room=== |
| | The Arbiter and his allies stormed this room from the entrance tunnels, emerging on the first floor from the tunnels, charging up the ramp, and seizing the second floor by force. A Brute-operated [[Shielded Plasma Cannon]] was on the second floor, as well with Brutes armed with [[Brute Shot]]s and [[Carbine]]s. After the Arbiter and his allies wrested control from the small Brute force stationed there, two further waves of Brutes came to contest their control over the Turret Room from the Indoor Bridge. |

| | On the first floor in an out-of-the-way position, there was a [[Cargo/Gun Crate]] with a pair of [[Carbine]]s. |
| After regrouping with the [[Special Operations Commander|SpecOps Commander]] [[Rtas 'Vadum]], they assaulted the Bastion of the Brutes in order to take control of the [[Protos-pattern Scarab|Scarab]], which they intended to use to gain access to the Control Room, locked by the Jiralhanae who were intending to activate the installation.
| | ===Indoor Bridge=== |
| | The Indoor Bridge consisted of two wide platforms on opposite sides of a cave, a yawning maw before them. On the far right side, there was a bridge strewn with [[Gas Container]]s and a Brute-controlled [[Shielded Plasma Cannon]]. |
|
| |
|
| The Arbiter entered through a series of tunnels leading to the complex. Here, the Arbiter joined with a [[Special Operations Sangheili]] and a pair of [[Mgalekgolo]] that would aid his attack on the Bastion of the Brutes. The Arbiter and his allies stormed the turret room from the entrance tunnels, emerging on the first floor from the tunnels, charging up the ramp and seizing the second floor by force. A Jiralhanae-operated [[Rizsheda-pattern Shade|Shielded Plasma Cannon]] was on the second floor, as well with Jiralhanae armed with [[Type-25 Grenade Launcher|Brute Shots]] and [[Type-51 Carbine|Covenant carbines]]. After the Arbiter and his allies wrested control from the small Jiralhanae force stationed there, two further waves of Jiralhanae came to contest their control over the Turret Room from the Indoor Bridge. | | The Arbiter came from the Turret Room onto one of the platforms of this cavern, where there were several Brutes stationed and a [[Battery Crate]]. He then took the bridge, and assailed the far side. On the far platform, there were Brutes armed with Brute Shots and Carbines, and [[Jackal]]s armed with [[Particle Beam Rifle]]s and [[Plasma Pistol]]s. There were also extensive numbers of [[Battery Crate]]s on the far platform. |
| | ===Outdoor Bridge=== |
|
| |
|
| The Indoor Bridge consisted of two wide platforms on opposite sides of a cave, a yawning maw before them. On the far right side, there was a bridge strewn with [[gas container]]s and a Jiralhanae-controlled Shielded Plasma Cannon. The Arbiter came from the Turret Room onto one of the platforms of this cavern, where there were several Jiralhanae stationed and a [[Plasma battery|Battery Crate]]. He then took the bridge, and assailed the far side. On the far platform, there were Jiralhanae armed with Brute Shots and carbines, and [[Kig-Yar]] armed with [[Type-50 particle beam rifle|particle beam rifle]]s and [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|plasma pistols]]. There were also extensive numbers of Battery Crates on the far platform. | | The outdoor bridge is guarded by many jackels, one with a beam rifle, and a swarm of drones. A phantom would come when you went across. There is a crate with two beam rifles to the right as you come onto the bridge, there is another crate at the other side of the bridge with two needlers and two plasma pistols. |
|

|
| The outdoor bridge was guarded by many [[Kig-yar]], one with a particle beam rifle and a swarm of [[Yanme'e]]. A [[Kez'katu-pattern Phantom|Phantom]] appeared as the Arbiter went across. Upon entering the prison room, the Arbiter discovered a Mgalekgolo pair in one prison cell and two [[Sangheili Councilor]]s in separate cells. The prison was guarded by a pack of Jiralhanae and several Kig-Yar. After freeing the prisoners, another group of Jiralhanae came out of the door at the end of the prison.
| | ===Prison Facility=== |
|
| |
|
| From the exit of the Prison room, the landing pad was next. A Scarab was stationed there, as well as many weapon crates. The pad had room to hold several [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]]. It also might have served as an execution area, as several [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] prisoners were going to be killed there. After defeating the Jiralhanae in the pad, the Arbiter made an uneasy alliance with [[Avery Junior Johnson|Sergeant Avery Johnson]] who had gained control of the Scarab, in order to stop [[Tartarus]] from activating the installation.{{clear}}
| | As you entered the prison facility, If you go up the ramp there would be a couple of boxes, one with two carbines and the other with two needlers, and there is an energy sword on thr ground. There are two Hunters in one prison cell an two counciler Elites in seperate cells. the prison is guarded by a pack of Brutes and some Jackels. to free the prisoners just shoot at the little plasma projecter thing in front of the cells and the freed Hunters and Elites can take care of the Brutes for you if you want. more Brutes will come out of the door at the end of the prison. |
