'''Riven Gate''' was a [[Banished]]-operated checkpoint established on the [[Zeta Halo]] fragment during the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]]. 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]] Commander [[Iltho]] (also known as Iltho the Chosen){{Ref/Game|Id=The Great Spine|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Outpost Intel 4|Banished Audio Log|Detail=Outpost Intel #13 - The Great Spine}} led the Banished troops guarding 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 near a trench in 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 its own building, the door of which was 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 prior to [[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}}

On January 31, 2560, following [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan]] [[Hudson Griffin]]'s failed attempt to assassinate [[War Chief]] [[Escharum]], the Banished gathered a massive force led by [[Chieftain]] [[Tremonius]] at Riven Gate in preparation for a counter assault on the crash site of the {{UNSCShip|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 [[2560#May|May 28, 2560]], [[Master Chief Petty Officer|Master Chief]] [[John-117]], who had been presumed lost during the [[Battle over Installation 07|space battle above Zeta Halo]], arrived on the Ring. Upon learning of the Spartan's return, Commander Iltho anticipated that the Chief would attack Riven Gate itself, a prediction that soon came true.{{Ref/Reuse|Encroaching Glory}} Despite the Gate's defenders being prepared for his arrival, the Chief breached the gatehouses and lowered all three gates, rescuing some Marine POWs in the process. The Chief's [[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, ensuring the gates remained lowered. The fall 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}}
