In February [[2558]], Galileo came | In February [[2558]], Galileo came under attack by [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant]] forces.<ref name="Catherine">'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Catherine|S1E3 ''Catherine'']]</ref> [[Fireteam Crimson]] later arrived and fought off the attackers.<ref name="Catherine"/> Later, Galileo Base was examining another Forerunner artifact known as the [[Didact's Gift]]. During this examination the Covenant-Promethean alliance launched a large assault on the base to retrieve it. Fireteam Crimson was awaiting extraction when the attack began and were forced to defend Galileo again. The base's defenses had been powered down to test a mini-reactor so Crimson was forced to turn them on to deal with the waves of [[Type-44 Troop Carrier|Phantoms]]. After the Covenant assault had been halted, Promethean forces began [[Slipspace translocation|translocating]] into the area. While Crimson engaged the Prometheans, [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Palmer]] ordered [[Robert Dalton]] to bring in [[Fireteam Majestic]] to extract the artifact. Crimson was eventually able to eliminate all the Promethean forces in the area, allowing Majestic to retrieve the artifact.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Didact's Hand|S1E4 ''Didact's Hand'']]</ref> During Majestic's retrieval Covenant Phantoms and [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]] resumed attacking the base, pinning them down. [[Gabriel Thorne]] managed to hijack a Banshee and destroy a Phantom, causing the Covenant to withdraw and allowing Majestic to escape.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Memento Mori|S1E5 ''Memento Mori'']]</ref> | ||
Not long after the attack, the entire shield world was placed on a collision course with its parent star, [[Epoloch]]. All of ''Infinity's'' research bases on the planet were lost when Requiem was destroyed by its sun. Months after the Requiem campaign, the UNSC established a new research facility, designated [[Galileo II]] by the UNSC's [[UNSC High Command|High Command]].<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 13|Issue #13]]''</ref> | |||
