Before the ''Autumn'' exploded, Installation 04 attempted to activate a safety measure and make a slipspace jump. However, the self-preservation protocol was partly successful, and only [[Alpha Shard|a small portion]] of the ring managed to enter slipspace. After the battle, the fragment reentered into normal space in the vicinity of a red giant star some distance away from the [[Orrichon system]]. The extreme heat of the ''Autumn''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s explosion, comparable to that of a [[supernova]], caused the formation of an entirely new element - [[Element 120.V]] - in the fragment, which caused catastrophic breakdown of DNA in certain humans but did not affect other species. The element was refined into a [[bioweapon]] and [[Terrorist attack on Sedra City|unleashed]] on [[Sedra]], killing or hospitalizing many of the planet's citizens. An automated survey drone deployed by the ''Pillar of Autumn'' prior to the ring's destruction, [[Recon-14]], survived this event and was later employed for remote-survey of the now-designated Alpha Shard.<ref>''[[Halo: Nightfall: RECON-14]]''</ref> An investigation by [[Locke's team]] led them to trace the bioweapon to the shard of Installation 04 and launch [[Mission to Alpha Shard|a joint mission]] with the [[Sedran Colonial Guard]] to destroy the new element with a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]]. The mission was ultimately successful though only two people survived.<ref name="Nightfall">''[[Halo: Nightfall]]''</ref> | Before the ''Autumn'' exploded, Installation 04 attempted to activate a safety measure and make a slipspace jump.
