'''Fortress''' is the [[UNSC]] codename for a location on the [[Forerunner]] shield world [[Requiem]].<ref>'''[[Spartan Ops]]'''</ref>

In early [[2558]] this location was held by [[Promethean Crawler]]s and [[Promethean Watcher]]s, and it was north of the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]]'s operation of influence. [[Fireteam Crimson]] was sent to the Fortress to deactivate a Forerunner tower by [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Sarah Palmer]]. After taking down Forerunner communications jammers, Crimson cleared the area of Prometheans and deactivated the Forerunner structures and were extracted.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''',  [[S1/Departure|S1E1 ''Departure'']]</ref> [[Hacksaw Squad]] was sent to hold the Fortress position, but came under heavy attack by [[Covenant remnant|Covenant]] forces. Crimson was sent in after Hacksaw radioed Palmer for assistance. Clearing through the Covenant, [[Robert Dalton]] asked Crimson and Hacksaw to go to the top of the Forerunner tower for evac. However, several [[Type-44 Troop Carrier|Phantoms]] arrived carrying high-ranking [[Sangheili]]. They were defeated, and Crimson and what Hacksaw's survivors, if any, were transported away in a [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]]. <ref>'''Spartan Ops''',  [[S1/Artifact|S1E2 ''Artifact'']]</ref> Later Covenant re-took the position and [[Jul 'Mdama]] fled here from [[Two Giants]] after his location was discovered via [[Slipspace translocation]]. Crimson followed, and arrived at the Fortress, but was too late to catch 'Mdama as he had left to [[The Cauldron]] through another portal. Clearing the Fortress of Covenant, Crimson pursued 'Mdama, exiting the Fortress through a portal. <ref>'''Spartan Ops''',  [[S1/Didact's Hand|S1E4 ''Didact's Hand'']]</ref>
