Nine days after the ship's arrival in the system,<ref name="bnet"/> the Dreadnought entered Earth's atmosphere. John-117 jumped from the ship as it continued descending, using a hatch as a heat shield, and falling two kilometers into the African jungle near [[Mount Kilimanjaro]]. The Dreadnought continued its descent and landed on the [[Portal at Voi|Portal]] to the [[Installation 04|Ark]], which the Covenant fleet was excavating.

The Dreadnought continued its descent and landed on the [[Portal at Voi|Portal]] to [[Installation 00|the Ark]], which the Covenant fleet was excavating.


The remaining [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces on Africa planned to launch a surprise strike on the Keyship to eliminate Truth and stop him from activating the structure they thought to be the Ark. The Master Chief led a [[Battle of Voi|Marine assault]] on a Covenant [[Type-27 Anti-Aircraft Cannon|anti-air battery]] sector in the town of Voi and successfully disabled the battery, giving the UNSC a clear shot at the Keyship. Lord Hood then attacked the ship with multiple squadrons of [[GA-TL1 Longsword|Longsword]] fighters and three [[UNSC frigate]]s. The Dreadnought's advanced Forerunner shielding allowed it to survive multiple MAC rounds and hundreds of Longsword-launched missiles and emerge completely unharmed, and the UNSC attack was halted when the Portal was activated by the Keyship.

After activating the portal, the Keyship entered it and landed on [[Installation 00|The Ark]]. It did not take part in the [[Battle of Installation 00|battle]], instead flying to the Ark of its own accord.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level, ''[[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]''</ref> Truth was untroubled by this automated action, but unbeknownst to him the Keyship was reuniting the last fragment of Mendicant Bias's compound mind to the rest of itself kept on the Ark. While Mendicant managed to successfully contact John-117 through a series of [[Terminal/Halo 3|terminals]], seeking atonement for the Forerunners, the fate of the Keyship itself not known for sure, though it is possible it was destroyed when the [[Installation 04B|Halo]] destroyed itself and critically damaged the Ark.<ref>'''[[Eleventh Hour reports]]''', ''Provenance''</ref>

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In the ''[[Halo: Uprising|Halo Uprising]]'' comic series, almost every background on the Dreadnought was modeled after a location in ''Halo 2''. For example, the Dreadnought's hangar bay looks identical to the [[Threshold]] [[Threshold gas mine|gas mine]] hangar bay in ''[[Halo 2]]'', including a docked [[Type-31 Exoatmospheric Multi-role Fighter|Seraph]]. In addition, areas identical to the [[Valleys of Tears]] as well as the [[High Council Chamber]] in High Charity can be seen. This may be a case of artistic interpretation by the artist to capture the look of Forerunner and Covenant architectures.
