During the [[Human-Covenant War]] in [[2531]], the [[High Prophet of Regret]] and [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]] went to the Apex to gather a massive and powerful invasion fleet for the Covenant. However, a [[Reclaimer]] was required to release the locking mechanism holding the ships in place. Thus, they abducted [[Ellen Anders|Professor Ellen Anders]] to activate it for them. The ships were destroyed when the artificial star inside the [[shield world]] went [[supernova]] after the crew of the {{UNSCship|Spirit of Fire}} used their ship's [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|Slipspace drive]] as an improvised bomb. | During the [[Human-Covenant War]] in [[2531]], the [[High Prophet of Regret]] and [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]] went to the Apex to gather a massive and powerful invasion fleet for the Covenant.
