[[Pavium]] and [[Voridus]] were sent on a salvage mission to the wreckage surrounding [[High Charity]], with [[Atriox]] ordering them to avoid going into the [[Covenant]]'s former holy city out of fear of the [[Flood]] surviving within. Not believing in the existence of the Flood, Voridus led the clan to High Charity, deactivated the Ark's [[Sentinel]] defense network and breached the [[quarantine shield]] with a [[Banished Scarab]]. However, when the Long Shields entered High Charity, the Flood within quickly set upon them, infecting many of the [[Banished]] forces and escaping from their quarantine to [[Outbreak on Installation 00|infest the Ark]] once more.{{Ref/Game|Id=ATN|Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare}}

Pavium and Voridus quickly regrouped with their remaining forces to contain the Flood. Regardless, Atriox became enraged by their actions which forced him to pull back from positions that he had spent months fortifying in order to focus on the threat of the Flood. As Pavium and many of the Long Shields held the line, Voridus led more troops into a Forerunner structure where he managed to reactivate the Sentinel defense network.{{Ref/Reuse|ATN}}

===Stopping the Great Journey===
After being disgraced following the Flood outbreak, Pavium and Voridus discovered a note left behind by [[Veta Lopis]], a covert double agent inside the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]]. This note informed them that the Keepers intended to fire all the Halo rings from the Ark. Seeing this as an opportunity to redeem their clan, they set out to stop the Keepers who had allied with [[Dhas Bhasvod]]'s [[Covenant loyalists]]. Throughout their mission, Pavium's authority was indirectly challenged by [[Thalazan]] who saw an opportunity to compete with the disgraced warlord for leadership.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=HDW3}}

During the [[Battle of Epsilon Clarion]], the [[Ferret]]s alerted the loyalists and the Keepers to the clan's presence as their impending attack threatened the UNSC's plans to destroy [[Intrepid Eye]]. The battle decimated all three sides, leaving Voridus, Pavium and possibly Thalazan as the only survivors of the Long Shields. Following the [[orbital bombardment]] by the ''Spirit of Fire'' that destroyed [[Epsilon Clarion]] and stopped the attempt at firing the [[Halo Array]], Pavium and Voridus plotted to claim that the Long Shields had held off the Keepers long enough for the humans to commence their bombardment, knowing that there was no one left alive to contradict their claims.{{Ref/Novel|Id=DW|DW}}

The Long Shields make use of various Banished vehicles and weaponry.

A few humans in the clan defected to the UNSC after the [[Outbreak on Installation 00|Flood outbreak]] on the Ark, leading Pavium to pre-emptively kick out the humans under his command, killing some in the process. [[Warmaster]] [[Atriox]] was upset with his decision to do so, considering all Banished humans to be valuable assets.{{Ref/Reuse|DW6}}
