Battle of Installation 04: Difference between revisions
→Immediate aftermath
| Line 303: | Line 303: | ||
The battle on Alpha Halo resulted in more than just a UNSC victory, however. It sparked a series of events that would change the course of the entire war. The new Arbiter would play a major role in the events of the [[Battle of Installation 05]] and the [[Battle of Earth]]. The High Prophets also would exploit the political fallout resulting from Halo's destruction to further their own plans to supplant the Sangheili ranks with their rivals among the [[Jiralhanae]], whose blind faith they favored over the Sangheili's pragmatism. This led to the [[Great Schism]] upon learning the truth of Prophet of Truth's plan to replace [[Sangheili]] with Jiralhanae. | The battle on Alpha Halo resulted in more than just a UNSC victory, however.

Triggered by the destruction of Installation 04, [[Installation 00|the Ark]] immediately initiated the construction of [[Installation 08|a replacement]] to Installation 04. Before the replacement ring was completed, John-117 and Cortana activated it to defeat the Flood and the [[Gravemind]]. By [[2559]], the Ark had finished the construction of a [[Installation 09|second replacement]], which the crew of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} attempted to launch to the Soell system to signal the UNSC, but the ring was ultimately intercepted by a [[Guardian]] en route.{{Ref/Level|HW2|Hold the Line}}{{Ref/Level|HW2|Last Stand (Halo Wars 2 level)|Last Stand}} The ring's destruction would trigger other Forerunner installations, emitting a signal that placed them all in standby mode. One such installation would be the [[Onyx Sentinel|specialized Sentinels]] guarding the shield world of [[Onyx]], leading to their awakening and the start of the [[Onyx Conflict]].{{Ref/Novel|GoO}} | Triggered by the destruction of Installation 04, [[Installation 00|the Ark]] immediately initiated the construction of [[Installation 08|a replacement]] to Installation 04.
