During the ground campaign, a large dome-shield was projected by the invading Covenant forces over the [[Arcadia Forerunner ruins|Forerunner complex]] on [[Arcadia]], allowing them to construct a large [[Covenant citadel|base]] and a {{Pattern|R'awuw|Scarab}} beneath the shield's protection. The shield was ultimately partially disabled by combined artillery fire from a battery of [[M145D Rhino]], allowing for a large [[orbital bombardment]] by {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}.{{Ref/Level|HW|Dome of Light}} The shield generated in this engagement exhibited many similar properties to that of the deployment spire, though whether it was the site of such a deployment is unknown. | ||
