| [[Installation 05]]'s '''control room''', known to the [[Covenant]] as the '''Chamber of Consecration''',<ref>''Halo: Broken Circle'', p. 245</ref> was the [[Control Room|site]] that controlled all of the installation's operations. The control room is located on an island off the coast of a larger island in the middle of a large sea. There is also a noticeable design difference from [[Installation 04]]'s control room, in there being a large, triple-tiered structure in the center of the facility. When the ring's firing sequence was initiated this structure would extend to its full height, with several floating platforms encircling it and a single beam projecting from deep within the control room in the chamber's center.<ref name="gj">''[[Halo 2]]'', campaign level, [[The Great Journey]]</ref> | | == History == |

After trying to convince Tartarus to change his mind, Tartarus instead forced the [[Index]] into the panel, activating the primary firing systems. A battle began between the Sangheili and the [[Jiralhanae]], which ended after Tartarus and his troop's died and Keyes deactivated the ring. There is also a noticeable design difference from Installation 04's control room, in there being 3 rings, or levels, to it. |

| {{main|Battle of Installation 05}}
| | This is the location of the final level and a boss battle in [[Halo 2]]. In the game, the player must jump from the ledge where Johnson snipes, down to the gears of the control room that are charging up the Halo Ring. In the center of it, there is a large [[gravity lift]] that takes you to the top, regardless of where you are. There are three "stories" to this part and on them are numerous gun crates to assist in battling [[Tartarus]]. [[Elites]] will attempt to aid you in defeating Tartarus, but they will fall in vain to the [[Fist of Rukt]]. On higher difficulties, Brutes will jump down to aid their Chieftain. To get down to lower levels, one must jump down to them. |

| After [[High Charity]]'s arrival at [[Installation 05]] and the redefinition of the [[Sangheili]]'s socio-political status following the [[Changing of the Guard]], many of the [[Sangheili Councilor]]s traveled to the control room in order to prepare it for the Halo's firing and the "Great Journey". However, the [[Jiralhanae Captain]] [[Melchus]] entered the control room with a heavily-armed [[Jiralhanae]] contingent and slaughtered the Councilors gathered there after a brief battle.<ref>''Halo: Broken Circle'', p. 245-252</ref> A small number of Councilors were taken prisoner in the nearby [[Bastion of the Brutes]].{{Ref/Reuse|gj}}
