"The skeletons of wrecked [[Covenant]] ships, slowly being buried by shifting
sands, should have acted as a warning to us. When I warned the [[Jiralhanae]]
leading our mining expedition that we should act with caution, he only snorted
and called the wrecks merely 'ghosts of the old war'. The [[Unggoy]] chattered
amongst themselves nervously, and I knew they too had noticed the charred
terrain. Pocked by heavy blast points. The Jiralhanae roared and gave the
nearest Unggoy and a swift kick as a warning to the others, and shot me an
angry look for daring to scare his rabble.
 
When we reached the site. I stayed on guard while the Jiralhanae ordered his
Unggoy to prepare the mining equipment. They had just breached the surface
when I felt the air move. I screamed a warning and managed to dive into cover
as the first salvo exploded the rocky outcropping where I once stood. I lay on
the ground. dazed from the blast and smelled a sickening burning odor, followed
quickly by a jolt of searing hot pain. My sword arm had been severely burnt and
the light from the blast had temporarily blinded me. I heard the Jiralhanae
barking orders to his panicked Unggoy, but his cries were quickly cut short by
another blast. My sight had cleared enough that I could just make out a large
shadow hovering over the panicking Unggoy, who scattered as I sunk into
unconsciousness.
 
When I awoke. Our attacker had disappeared and the only things left were our
mining equipment - damaged beyond use - and the body of the Jiralhanae
served as the iris of a newly created crater."

==Overview==
The map includes multiple [[supplies]] to collect, empty spaces for establishing [[socket base]]s, and [[Forerunner]] [[garrison]]s and [[power node]]s to be controlled. In [[Domination]], the [[Domination Point]]s to be controlled are five [[Beacon tower]]s (A, B, C, D and E), which are defended by a group of [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s. There is a very large Forerunner structure in the map's center.{{Ref/Reuse|Beta}}
