During the [[Battle of Tribute]] in [[2552#August|August 2552]], the freighter ''[[Floral Express]]'' fled the planet while carrying colonial refugees. Presumably following a random [[slipspace]] trajectory per the [[Cole Protocol]], the ship arrived near Installation 03 on [[2552#October|October 8]]. Based on intelligence gleaned from the [[Battle of Installation 04]], ONI teams established and enacted neutralization protocols on Gamma Halo by October 25.<ref name="11h"/>

On [[2552#November|November 3, 2552]], during the [[Battle of Installation 05|Battle]] of [[Installation 05]], [[Chieftain of the Jiralhanae|Chieftain]] [[Tartarus]] of the [[Covenant]] activated Installation 05, though [[United Nations Space Command]] and [[Sangheili]] forces managed to terminate the firing sequence before the Halo could fire. As per fail-safe protocol in the event of an unexpected shutdown, a signal was sent to Installation 01 and the rest of the Halos from Installation 05, placing all Halos of the array on standby mode, ready for remote activation from Installation 00. A readout from Installation 05's [[Control Room|control room]] showed that Installation 01 was fully prepared to fire on demand.<ref name="Encyclopedia"/><ref name="great journey"/>

However, during the [[Battle of Installation 00]] on [[2552#December|December 11, 2552]], the UNSC and allied Sangheili forces fought to prevent the Covenant from firing the Halo Array from the Ark, as Installation 01 and its fellow Halos were still in standby mode and was prepared to receive the signal to fire. Eventually, [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] [[John-117]] succeeded in deactivating Installation 01, as well as the rest of the array, before it could be fired.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level, ''[[The Covenant]]''</ref>
