==Summary==
After rescuing [[Ellen Anders|Anders]], the crew of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} lay out a plan to destroy [[Trove]] and the fleet of {{Class|Sojourner|dreadnought}}s contained within it to prevent the [[Covenant]] from using them. They load the reactor from the ''Spirit of Fire's'' [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|FTL drive]] onto two [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelicans]], intending to use them to ferry the drive to the installation's star for detonation, causing the star to go [[supernova]] and destroy the [[shield world]]. After [[Victor 397]] and another Pelican carrying the FTL drive core are shot down by [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]], [[James Gregory Cutter|Captain Cutter]] changes the task to a ground operation and UNSC ground forces are tasked with getting the core to the top of the Apex Base Site where it can be teleported to the [[the Apex]].


By occupying one base site to the end of the level, the player will be given the [[achievement]] "[[Didn't Get To Second Base]]", worth 5 [[Gamerpoint]]s.
After an [[M312 Elephant|Elephant]] is attached to the core, Sergeant [[John Forge]] and other UNSC forces, including the [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartans]] from [[Red Team]] escort them from Covenant and [[Flood]] forces to top of the long slopes leading to the Apex [[teleporter|teleporter pad]] with success, allowing the reactor to be teleported to the Apex.
