'''The Gate''' is an area on the [[shield world]] of [[Requiem]]. It was the location of many battles in the [[Requiem Campaign]].

==History==
During the [[Battle of Requiem]] in [[2557#July|July 2557]], the area was first reached by [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant forces]] that entered the shield world. They started occupying the local [[Cartographer#Requiem|Cartographer]], but were contained by [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s. The Covenant entered into a battle with [[John-117]] as he was exploring the planet. John-117 cleared the area of Covenant, moving into the [[Forerunner]] structure. He and [[Cortana]] accessed the Cartographer before continuing on to the Terminus.{{Ref/Level|H4[[Requiem (level)|Requiem]]}}

Six months later in early [[2558]], the Covenant had secured this area and had beaten back attempts by the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] to dislodge their position. In response, [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Sarah Palmer]] sent [[Fireteam Crimson]] to neutralize the Covenant. After the Covenant were neutralized, several [[Prometheans]] translocated into the area. Crimson fought them off and disabled the [[Z-8250 heavy artillery|Forerunner turrets]] that the Covenant were using. [[Robert Dalton]] then sent a [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] and extracted Crimson after all of the foes were defeated.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Artifact (Spartan Ops)/Clean Up|S102 Clean Up]]</ref>

Later, [[Parg Vol]] led a Covenant battle group to the position, and Crimson was deployed to [[Assassination of Parg Vol|assassinate him]]. After a skirmish, Vol and his [[Sangheili]] battle group were all killed. With Crimson under heavy attack by [[Ru'swum-pattern Phantom|Phantoms]], a squadron of [[F-41 Broadsword]]s was sent to the Gate to successfully destroy the Phantoms, allowing Crimson to be extracted.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Catherine/Hunting Trip|S103 Hunting Trip]]</ref>

The Gate became a base for ''Infinity'' Science, but they abandoned it due to power fluctuations related to the planet-wide [[teleportation grid|slipspace portal system]]. Crimson was redeployed to the Gate to determine whether or not Prometheans were popping up at the location. After repelling a Promethean attack, Crimson was requested by Dr. [[Leslie Boyd]] at [[The Refuge (Requiem location)|the Refuge]] to activate some equipment the scientists needed readings from. After the equipment's activation, Dr. Boyd quickly determined that it wasn't power fluctuations but slipspace signatures and warned Crimson that more enemies were traveling through the portal system right towards them. With the equipment processing a large amount of data that could potentially allow the UNSC to use the portal network, Crimson defended it from massive attack until Dr. [[Ruiz]] directed them to a device that when activated, stopped the Prometheans from teleporting in. Crimson was able to clear the area while Boyd got the data he needed to figure out how to open portals. Boyd opened a portal for Crimson, taking them to the Refuge.<ref>''Spartan Ops'', [[Memento Mori/Spartan Miller|S105 Spartan Miller]]</ref>

==Trivia==
*The back of the canyon at the Gate leading to the rest of Requiem is blocked in ''[[Spartan Ops]]'' for gameplay purposes.
*Due to the {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}}'s remnants crashing nearby, there are some human weapons crates on the bridge of the Gate between the [[Cartographer]] and "[[Control]]" during the ''[[Halo 4]]'' level ''[[Requiem (level)|Requiem]]''.
