Soon after confirming it was Installation 03, the teams attempted to find and secure the installation's [[Library]] to recover the [[activation index]]. Since Earth was [[Battle for Earth|under attack]] at the time, the teams could not return home, and they did not have the force of arms to remain on the ring, the teams settled in for a long habitation in a makeshift orbital base which they named Ivanoff Station. Shortly after the end of the war Ivanoff was expanded into a permanent UNSC facility.<ref>'''[[Halo Mythos]]''', ''page 164''</ref><ref name="warfleet"/> The facility maintained a small fleet of Pelicans and Darters to transport personnel and cargo between the ring and station, protected by squadrons of F-41 Broadsword fighters.<ref name="warfleet"/> | ||
