(Nothing supports this theory. In Halo 2, they just dropped in a Scarab, so that means it's unlikely they use Forerunner technology is building them. Sorry.) |

In [[2531]], during their search for a key to activate [[The Apex]], the Covenant showed interest towards [[Arcadia]], as [[Relic (Structure)|a structure]] on [[Harvest]] pointed them towards the planet. The Covenant forces traveled to Arcadia with two [[CCS-class Battlecruiser]]s. [[CCS-U321|One]] was destroyed, but the [[CCS-U624|other one]] engaged in surface activity, attacking [[Pirth City]] and searching for [[Forerunner]] artifacts on the planet. After they found the ruins, the Covenant deployed a massive dome-shaped energy shield on the planet surface to prevent the UNSC forces from reaching the structures.<ref>''[[Halo Wars]]'' level, ''[[Dome of Light]]''</ref> | In [[2531]], during their search for a key to activate [[The Apex]], the Covenant showed interest towards [[Arcadia]], as [[Relic (Structure)|a structure]] on [[Harvest]] pointed them towards the planet.

The [[UNSC]] forces established a base at the abandoned [[ONI Base (Arcadia)|ONI Base]] in proximity of the ruin complex, and managed to breach the energy barrier with a few [[Rhino]]es, and after securing the area they established a [[Station|base]] and proceeded to investigate the area. However, the Covenant had started to build a [[Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform #Super Scarab|Super Scarab]] in front of the main structure, to keep the UNSC forces away from it. | The [[UNSC]] forces established a base at the abandoned [[ONI Base (Arcadia)|ONI Base]] in proximity of the ruin complex, and managed to breach the energy barrier with a few [[Rhino]]es, and after securing the area they established a [[Station|base]] and proceeded to investigate the area.

The Covenant tried to destroy the UNSC base, by using the Scarab's main cannon to destroy the temple structures protecting it. However, the UNSC forces managed to weaken the Scarab by destroying its power nodes, and eventually the Scarab itself. When the Scarab had been destroyed, [[Ellen Anders]] proceeded to investigate the area, under the watchful eye of [[John Forge|Sergeant Forge]]. | The Covenant tried to destroy the UNSC base, by using the Scarab's main cannon to destroy the temple structures protecting it.

While Forge and Anders were investigating the ruins, the Arbiter appeared, and captured Anders. Shortly thereafter, the Covenant ship jumped out of the system, and the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} followed. | While Forge and Anders were investigating the ruins, the Arbiter appeared, and captured Anders.
