The Covenant invaded Gamma Halo in an attempt to use the Forerunner [[Conduit]] to open [[slipspace portal]]s throughout the installation. The Covenant intended to use the portals to transport a massive Promethean force onto the ringworld, which would aid in the Covenant's takeover of Installation 03. However, the attack was repelled due to the efforts of two [[Headhunters]] and the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] stationed on the installation.<ref name="canonfodder">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-striking-features '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Striking Features'']</ref> | The Covenant invaded Gamma Halo in an attempt to use the Forerunner [[Conduit]] to open [[slipspace portal]]s throughout the installation.

In [[2557#July|July of 2557]], UNSC personnel on [[Ivanoff Station]] detected a faint signal originating on Gamma Halo. The signal was soon discovered to be emanating from the Conduit,{{Ref/Reuse|opb}} and a [[Spartan-IV]] [[Headhunters|Headhunter]]{{Ref/Reuse|canonfodder}} was sent to the installation to investigate—aided by Lieutenant [[Kwon]].{{Ref/Reuse|opb}} However, [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant | In [[2557#July|July of 2557]], UNSC personnel on [[Ivanoff Station]] detected a faint signal originating on Gamma Halo.

After returning to Ivanoff Station in a Pelican dropship with the Conduit, the Spartan received an emergency distress call from an [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] [[New Phoenix ONI facility|facility]] back on Earth. The researchers at the facility were studying a [[unidentified Forerunner machine|Forerunner artifact]] at the time of the battle. When the Covenant used the Conduit at the Altar, Forerunner portals were activated throughout the galaxy. One of the portals opened up in the ONI facility in New Phoenix, and Jul 'Mdama's Covenant and Promethean forces attacked the base. It was determined that the only way to close the portals was to bring the Conduit to New Phoenix.
