Despite shield worlds being created as a haven from the Halos and the Flood, the external surface was heavily infested with Flood biomass, with forms of various types freely roaming across the surface. [[Sentinel]]s were a rarity on the outside, but this changed within the center, where the many Forerunner constructs worked to prevent the Flood from claiming the interior as well.{{Ref/Level|Id=Beachhead|HW|Beachhead (Halo Wars level)|Beachhead}}{{Ref/Level|Id=Reactor|HW|Reactor (Halo Wars level)|Reactor}}{{Ref/Level|Id=Escape|HW|Escape (Halo Wars level)|Escape}} | Despite shield worlds being created as a haven from the Halos and the Flood, the external surface was heavily infested with Flood biomass, with forms of various types freely roaming across the surface.

Trove was constructed during or prior to the [[Forerunner-Flood war]] to serve as both a military outpost to combat the Flood, and to preserve the lifeforms within from the Halo Array's pulse. The shield world was fitted with a fleet of ''Sojourner''-class dreadnaughts, ready to be used to raze the inner surface in case of breach by Flood forces or as an exploratory emergence group to be used following the [[Great Purification]]. During the height of the war, the shield world was attacked and its surface overrun by Flood forces, an event which was able to severely damage the installation's [[Monitor]], [[295 Harken Watch]]. Three [[Promethean]]s, [[Animus-To-Remain]], [[Malice-Begets-Demise]] and [[Habit-To-Sever]], stayed behind on the shield world's surface and gave their lives to defend the Monitor from encroaching Flood - ultimately allowing the Monitor to escape and seal the shield world's interior off.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | Trove was constructed during or prior to the [[Forerunner-Flood war]] to serve as both a military outpost to combat the Flood, and to preserve the lifeforms within from the Halo Array's pulse.

At the outset of the war with [[human]]ity, the Covenant expedited the need to unlock the planet's secrets as to amass a great fleet. They were soon able to break into the interior of the shield world and seal it, though the external Flood infection were noted as persistent. The [[Prophet of Regret]] sent [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]] to the planet [[Harvest]] to investigate a [[Relic (location)|Forerunner relic]] there that could have held the key.{{Ref/Anthology|Id=OSG|Halo Wars: Official Strategy Guide|The Day Before}} | ||
