===Human-Covenant War===
===Human-Covenant War===
Sunray 1-1 was assigned to {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} in the early years of the [[Human-Covenant War]], and were present on the ship in February of [[2531]] when the ship was pulled to the uncharted [[Korinth Prior system]]. During the ensuing [[Battle of Trove|fight against]] the [[Covenant]] on the surface of [[Trove]], a [[Forerunner]] [[shield world]], Sunray were deployed on the ground against the forces of the [[Fleet of Glorious Interdiction]]. After the ship's [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|Shaw-Fujikawa translight engine]] was sacrificed to destroy the shield world, the members of Sunray 1-1 entered [[cryostasis]] along with the rest of the crew.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
Sunray 1-1 was present on the modified {{Class|Phoenix|colony ship}} on [[2531|February 4, 2531]] when it arrived at the [[Outer Colony]] of [[Harvest]] to fight the Covenant's [[Fleet of Glorious Interdiction]] there. The squad then went on to witness the [[Battle for Arcadia]] and the [[Battle of the Etran Harborage|fight]] between the UNSC crew and the Fleet of Glorious Interdiction within the [[Forerunner]] [[shield world]] known as the [[Etran Harborage]]. After the ship's [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|Shaw-Fujikawa translight engine]] was sacrificed to destroy the shield world, the members of Sunray 1-1 entered [[cryostasis]] along with the rest of the crew.


===War on the Ark===
===Post War===
{{Main|Second Ark Conflict|Operation: SPEARBREAKER}}
Over twenty-eight years later on March 28, [[2559]], Sunray 1-1 and everyone else were awakened to find themselves drifting above the extragalactic [[Installation 00]], also known as the Ark.<ref name="Alice Report">'''Halo Wars 2''', ''[[Phoenix Logs]]'' – "Alice-130 Report #1"</ref> There, the vessel's forces were forced to contend with the [[Banished]], a heavily-armed faction of ex-Covenant that sought to control the Ark largely due to its capacity for producing [[Halo]] superweapons. After the departure of [[Installation 09|a newly-created]] [[Halo ring]] put it beyond the Banished's grasp on [[2559|April 2, 2559]], the [[Mgalekgolo]] pair known as [[Colony]] hatched a plot which [[James Cutter]], captain of the ''Spirit of Fire'', had no choice but to respond to. Sunray 1-1 were tasked with stopping Colony's scheme as part of [[Operation: SPEARBREAKER]].
Over twenty-eight years later on March 28, [[2559]], Sunray 1-1 and everyone else were awakened to find themselves drifting above the extragalactic [[Installation 00]], also known as the Ark.{{Ref/Game|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=Alice-130 Report #1}} There, the vessel's forces were forced to contend with the [[Banished]], a heavily-armed faction of ex-Covenant that sought to control the Ark largely due to its capacity for producing [[Halo]] superweapons.


In May of 2559, a month following the [[Battle of Installation 09|departure]] of [[Installation 09]] from the Ark, Sunray were deployed onto the Ark to investigate a cloaking field set up by the Banished to hide a new site of operations commanded by the [[Mgalekgolo]] [[Swarmlord]], [[Colony]]. Sunray landed on the Ark 1.8 miles from the site perimeter, and were tasked with performing a reconnaissance and observation mission. After the Banished presence was confirmed, ''Spirit of Fire'' deployed [[India Company]] to reinforce Sunray as they began to push deeper. Eventually, Sunray stumbled upon a Banished base of operations, and were able to acquire intelligence on the nature of their plan: reactivate an ancient Forerunner {{Class|Despair|fighter}} and use it to destroy ''Spirit of Fire''. However, the fighter was still a dormant [[design seed]], which meant that there was a short amount of time available to stop the plan before it could be brought to completion. Sunray proceeded to act as the spearhead of a large combined-arms force supported by ''Spirit of Fire'' in an attack on a number of control points critical to the operation of the cloaking field surrounding the site, successfully fending off numerous Banished and [[Sentinel]] attacks including a large [[Retriever Sentinel]].{{Ref/Level|HW2|Gatecrashers}}
Upon returning from their successful mission, Sunray wasted no time in moving on to meet additional challenges. Deployed into some of the most hostile, Banished-occupied areas of Installation 00, Sunray has encountered hostile resistance from Warlords, Sentinels, and Forerunner armiger contingents alike.<ref name="CF100">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sweet-centennial '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Canon Fodder #100: Sweet Centennial'']</ref>


With the first stage of the operation a success, Sunray then proceeded to move on to an assault on the launch site itself. This second attack resulted in the deployment of numerous [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark II (J) Colossus|Mark II Colossi]] to help destroy the Forerunner mechanisms constructing the ''Despair''-class fighter, delaying the fifteen-minute countdown sufficiently long enough to allow UNSC forces an opening to destroy the site with an [[AV-14 Hornet]] air strike.{{Ref/Level|HW2|Not On My Watch}}
Sunray's most recent missions involve the elimination of Banished commanders identified by Isabel as being critical to Atriox's attempts to harness the Ark's power. Shortly after SPEARBREAKER, Major Vaughan led Sunray on a successful clandestine assassination of a Jiralhanae captain. Employing tactics gleaned from archived after-action reports from [[Operation: GREY VEIL]] on [[Heian]], Lance Corporal Sparks landed a killshot that has quickly become legend amongst other marksmen aboard the ''Spirit of Fire''.{{Ref/Reuse|CF100}}
 
Upon returning from their successful mission, Sunray were quickly moved on to conduct more missions against the Banished. Shortly following the success of SPEARBREAKER, the team were used to perform a series of assassinations on Banished officers identified as critical to the operations of [[Atriox]]. One mission in particular was a resounding success, with Corporal [[Devon Sparks]] using tactics gleaned from after-action reports of the war-era [[Operation: GREY VEIL]] assasination on [[Heian]] to land a killing shot against a Jiralhanae [[Captain (Covenant)|Captain]] that quickly became legend among the ''Spirit of Fire''{{'}}s crew. Throughout the later months of 2559, they were deployed among several Banished-occupied regions of the Ark in strikes against a variety of hostile forces including the aforementioned Banished, and those of both Sentinel and [[Armiger]] threats.{{Ref/Site|Id=CF100|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sweet-centennial|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Sweet Centennial|D=24|M=09|Y=2021}}
