[[File:HINF Riven Gate.png|thumb| | '''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.

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 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}} | ||

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}} | |||

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. 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}} | ||
