==Operational history==
==History==
During the [[Battle of Tribute]], ''Floral Express'' escaped [[Tribute|the planet]] with two dozen colonial refugees into [[slipspace]]. The heavily damaged freighter followed a random slipspace trajectory per the [[Cole Protocol]], and arrived at the edge of the [[Khaphrae system]] on [[2552#October|October 8, 2552]]. While the ''Floral Express'' underwent repairs, its furtive scans did not find Covenant pursuers, but instead detected anomalies within the star system. Once repaired, the vessel returned to [[Earth]], where its crew was detained by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]. The ''Floral Express''' flight records revealed the largest anomaly's sensor signature was a close match to a [[Forerunner]] [[Astroengineering|megastructure]], leading ONI's pioneer teams to the discovery of a second Halo ringworld, [[Installation 03]].<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/gamma-halo '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Gamma Halo'']</ref><ref>'''Halo: Mythos''', page ''164''</ref>

While ''Floral Express'' underwent repairs, its furtive scans did not find Covenant pursuers, but instead detected anomalies within the star system. Once repaired, the vessel returned to [[Earth]], where its crew was detained by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] for possible violations of the Cole Protocol. Flight records revealed the largest anomaly's sensor signature was a close match to a [[Forerunner]] [[Astroengineering|megastructure]], leading ONI's pioneer teams to the discovery of a second Halo ringworld, [[Installation 03]].{{Ref/Reuse|mythos164}}
