This '''unidentified Forerunner machine''' is capable of opening and closing [[slipspace portal]]s when interfaced with another Forerunner device known as the [[Conduit]]. At least two of these machines were located on [[Halo Array|Halo]] [[Installation 03]], and another one at an [[ONI]] [[New Phoenix ONI facility|facility]] in [[New Phoenix]], [[Arizona]], though it is likely there were many others spread across the [[Milky Way galaxy]].<ref name="opc">'''[[Halo: Spartan Strike]]''', ''[[Operation C: Valiant Hammer]]''</ref><ref name="opd">'''[[Halo: Spartan Strike]]''', ''[[Operation D: Adamantine Shield]]''</ref> These devices were contested by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] and [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant forces]] and their allied [[Promethean]] automatons during the [[Battle of Installation 03]] and the [[ | This '''unidentified Forerunner machine''' is capable of opening and closing [[slipspace portal]]s when interfaced with another Forerunner device known as the [[Conduit]].

A second machine was located in a jungle on the ring, and was used to enable Covenant and Promethean forces passage directly to New Phoenix. An [[unidentified Spartan-IV]] operative was deployed to halt this threat, traveling through a portal generated by this machine to follow the Covenant and Prometheans to the city.{{Ref/Reuse|ope}} | A second machine was located in a jungle on the ring, and was used to enable Covenant and Promethean forces passage directly to New Phoenix.

At some point prior to July 2557, the UNSC managed to locate one of these machines, and subsequently secured it at an ONI facility in New Phoenix for study, where it lay dormant until the Altar was activated on Installation 03. This remotely triggered the machine to generate portals that allowed Covenant and Promethean forces to invade the facility from the Halo. The Spartan Headhunter, having secured the Conduit from the ring, traveled to this facility and assisted scientists in repelling the alien threat by inserting the Conduit into the machine, resulting in a massive shockwave that shut down the portals.{{Ref/Reuse|opd}} | At some point prior to July 2557, the UNSC managed to locate one of these machines, and subsequently secured it at an ONI facility in New Phoenix for study, where it lay dormant until the Altar was activated on Installation 03.
