During the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], the Capital became the site of an [[Battle of the capital|enormous battle]] as [[Mendicant Bias]], having been persuaded into [[rampancy]] by the [[Primordial]], attempted to deliver a crippling blow to the Forerunner leadership.

Long after the Forerunner-Flood war, the [[Covenant]] learned about the existence of Maethrillian—the fabled throne of their gods. In [[2552]], [[Supreme Commander]] [[Rho 'Barutamee]] found Forerunner artifacts after [[Battle of Beta Eridani|an engagement]] with the [[UNSC]]. That led him to think he was close to finding Maethrillian. Ultimately he arrived at [[Reach]], which he [[Fall of Reach|attacked]] with restraint, preferring to localize important Forerunner artifacts first. However, he never accomplished his secret objective, as his plan was foiled by [[NOBLE Team]], and the rest of the Covenant did not pursue his goal.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/rho-barutamee '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Rho 'Barutamee'']</ref> | |||
