Three days after the [[Human-Covenant War]] ended, Sentinels set up a containment shield around the ruins of High Charity in order to contain any remaining Flood forms that survived the detonation of High Charity's backup reactors, and [[Installation 08]]'s firing and subsequent destruction.
In [[2552#December|December 2552]], three days after the [[Human-Covenant War]] ended, [[monitor]] [[000 Tragic Solitude]] had a containment shield set up around the ruins of [[High Charity]] to contain the [[Flood]] that had survived the detonation of the city's reactors and the firing of [[Installation 08]]. As an additional security measure, Tragic Solitude had the Sentinels raze the perimeter and modify the refugia to ensure that no sentient life survived nearby in order to deprive the Flood of any host bodies in close proximity to their prison. Tragic Solitude also kept a battalion of Sentinels on patrol in the vicinity of the containment shield, not only to guard against the Flood, but to guard against future invaders who might try to breach the shield and thus release the Flood.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''' ''[[Phoenix Logs]]'' - ''Idle Hands II''</ref>


During the [[Second Ark Conflict]] in [[2559]], [[Voridus]], a [[Jiralhanae]] commander of the [[Banished]], destroyed a part of the containment shield with a Scarab, inadvertently releasing the Flood. This in turn caused [[Atriox]] to abandon his plans to destroy the humans on the Ark for the time being in order to stop the Flood threat. Afterwards, the containment shield remained around the ruins of High Charity, despite Voridus shutting down the Sentinel defense network. After Voridus and [[Pavium]] defeated the [[Proto-Gravemind]] that had emerged and reactivated the network, swarms of [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s headed towards High Charity to resume the containment operation.
During the [[Second Ark Conflict]] in [[2559#June|June 2559]], [[Atriox]], the leader of the [[Banished]], ordered [[Jiralhanae]] brothers [[Pavium]] and [[Voridus]] to salvage anything useful from the shipwrecks near High Charity, but to only scout the shell and leave it alone, well-aware of the danger posed by any surviving Flood. However, like many of the Banished, Voridus brushed off the Flood as another Covenant lie and didn't heed Atriox's warnings. Instead, Voridus deactivate the Ark's Sentinel defense network using a terminal near High Charity and burned a hole in the containment shield with a [[Banished Scarab]]. When Voridus' troops entered the wreckage, they were swarmed by Flood [[infection form]]s which attacked the Banished and escaped onto the Ark through the breach in the containment shield created by Voridus, unimpeded by the Ark's Sentinels due to Voridus deactivating them.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare]]''', campaign level ''[[What Could Go Wrong?]]''</ref>
 
Voridus eventually managed to reactivate the Sentinel defense network<ref>'''[[Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare]]''', campaign level ''[[The Archive]]''</ref> and the Banished, with the help of the Sentinels, slew a [[Proto-Gravemind]] that the Flood formed before it could become a full-fledged [[Gravemind]]. With the Sentinel defense network reactivated, thousands of Sentinels began a cleansing operation, supported by the Banished. The Sentinels and the Banished were able to contain the Flood outbreak and seal off High Charity once again.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare]]''', campaign level ''[[Manifestation]]''</ref>
