Editing Riven Gate (location)

{{Era|Post}}

'''Riven Gate''' was a [[Banished]]-operated checkpoint established on the [[Zeta Halo]] fragment during the [[Installation 07 conflict]]. The Banished constructed this massive gate structure in order to control the primary transportation routes across the southern section of the Ring fragment. The [[Jiralhanae]] [[Iltho]] commanded the Banished forces at the Gate.{{Ref/Game|Id=Encroaching Glory|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Outpost Intel 4|Banished Audio Log|Detail=Outpost Intel #14 - Encroaching Glory}}

==Layout==
Constructed inside a trench that stretched across the middle of the Ring fragment's southern section, Riven Gate consisted of two massive, heavily-fortified outer gates and a normal-sized inner gate. Banished troops operated each gate from separate gatehouses. While the gatehouses for the outer gates were located within their respective gates themselves, the gatehouse for the inner gate was a separate building, the doors of which were controlled from a nearby guard tower. This building also served as a small hangar for a [[Kaelum Workshop Banshee]]. The outpost's primary power generator was located in a cliffside power station.{{Ref/Quest|Id=Riven Gate|HI|Reformation|Riven Gate}}

==History==
The Banished constructed Riven Gate as early as [[2560#January|January 31, 2560]].{{Ref/Game|Id=Red Tide|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Retaliation 2|Spartan Audio Log|Detail=Retaliation #07 - Red Tide}} The Gate effectively split any [[UNSC]] forces on the southern end of the fragment in half and trapped them in Banished territory.{{Ref/Reuse|Riven Gate}} At one point, [[First Lieutenant]] [[Floyd (Installation 07)|Floyd]] suggested that 

In January 31, 2560, following [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan]] [[Hudson Griffin]]'s failed attempt to assassinate [[War Chief]] [[Escharum]], the Banished gathered a massive force at Riven Gate in preparation for a counter assault on the crash site of the ''[[UNSC Mortal Reverie]]''. Spartan [[Bonita Stone]] reported this to the UNSC personnel stationed at the ''Reverie'' and warned them that the Banished would arrive at the ''Reverie'' by nightfall.{{Ref/Reuse|Red Tide}}

On or after [[2560#May|May 28, 2560]], [[Master Chief Petty Officer|Master Chief]] [[John-117]] attacked Riven Gate. After fighting his way through the Banished forces, he breached all three gatehouses and lowered the gates. His [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] companion, [[The Weapon]], then directed him to the outpost's power generator located in the cliffside. The Chief subsequently stormed the power station and destroyed the generator, crippling Riven Gate. The loss of Riven Gate enabled the UNSC to freely move across the southern section of the Ring fragment for the first time in months.{{Ref/Reuse|Riven Gate}}
