Doavyn is a Wikipedia:Exoplanet orbital and physical parameters#Massive solid planets|super planet in the Khaphrae system and the former gravitational anchor for Installation 03 before the Halo Array|ring was transported to Clinquant and then to an undisclosed location by 859 Static Carillon.
Overview
Centuries prior to the Human-Covenant War, Doavyn underwent an unknown catastrophic event which resulted in the large planet shattering and several large chunks of the world breaking into pieces, leaving in deep gouges leading toward its core and the creation of a dense Asteroid|asteroid field above the planet. Doavyn's surface appears to be covered in rocky terrain and deserts, although it is unknown if these conditions existed prior to the planet's shattering or if they were caused by the event. The surface around one of the poles is a gray-white, possibly hinting at the existence of a Wikipedia:Polar ice cap|polar ice cap or simply another coloration of rock that is more common in that region. Around and within the gargantuan fissures covering planet, exposed Wikipedia:Lava|lava can be found.
History
After the Halo Array#Neoteric Array|Halo Array was built at Installation 00 circa 97,445 BCE, Installation 03 was sent to Doavyn via slipspace Slipspace portal|portal. Shortly thereafter, Installation 03 was Great Purification|fired along with the rest of the array, eradicating all life within the Milky Way to starve the Flood of its food.
Several centuries before its discovery by humanity, Doavyn experienced a mysterious cataclysmic event of unknown origin. This event resulted in the shattering of the planet, with large chunks of it exploding into space and becoming caught in orbit in the form of an asteroid field. During the cataclysm, Installation 03 suffered extraordinary damage and its monitor, 049 Abject Testament, went missing around the same time. Since the event, however, the Halo has underwent significant repairs and has returned to a habitable state.
File:H4-IvanoffStation-ScanScreen.jpg|250px|thumb|Ivanoff Station in the asteroid field created by Doavyn's decimation. During the Battle of Tribute in 2552#August|August 2552, the freighter ''Floral Express'' fled the planet while carrying colonial refugees. Following a randomized slipspace jump, the ship arrived in the Khaphrae system on 2552#October|October 8. Upon returning to Earth, the crew was detained by the Office of Naval Intelligence for possible violations of the Cole Protocol. After examining the ''Floral Express''s flight records, ONI used intelligence gleaned from the Battle of Installation 04 to detect what they believed to be Installation 03 in orbit over Doavyn. Contacting and redirecting pioneer teams to the Khaphrae system, ONI was able to confirm that it was indeed Installation 03, Gamma Halo.''Eleventh Hour reports - #5'' The pioneer teams attempted to find and secure the installation's Library to recover the activation index as part of neutralization protocols which had been established by 2552#October|October 25. Since Earth was Battle of Earth|under attack at the time, the teams could not return home, and they did not have the force of arms to safely remain on the ring, the teams settled in for a long habitation in a makeshift orbital base called Ivanoff Station that they established within Doavyn's asteroid belt.
Following the return of the Ur-Didact in 2557, SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II Blue Team travelled to Installation 03 to investigate the disappearance of Black Team. They discovered that the Spartans had been killed by the Didact, who intended to visit the Forerunner installation known as Clinquant, or the Composer's Forge, to procure more Composers that would let him create additional Promethean Knights. At the Didact's behest, the monitor of the Composer's Forge, 859 Static Carillon, had Installation 03 transported from Doavyn's orbit to Clinquant. However, Static Carillion would turn on the Forerunner, siding with Blue Team who then ejected a segment of Installation 03 and slammed it into the Composer's Forge, composing the Didact. Instead of returning Installation 03 to Doavyn, Static Carillion took the Halo to an undisclosed region of the galaxy to conduct repairs.

Doctor, Doctor is an Achievement in ''Halo: Reach''.'''' It is unlocked when a player uses a Health pack|Health Pack to heal themselves after taking damage.
Trivia This achievement is very similar to the achievement "Heal Up" in ''Halo 3: ODST'', which also requires the player to use a Health pack|Health Pack. The symbol of both achievements uses a medical symbol. Players ''will'' at some point in campaign get wounded, specifically, the player will have low health in the campaign level ''Exodus'', so unless the player doesn't care about his/her health, the player will acquire a health pack. The achievement could be a possible reference to the song, "Doctor! Doctor!" by the Wikipedia:Thompson Twins|Thompson Twins.

File:Reach-Dog tag.png|thumb|250px|Jorge-052|Jorge-052's dog tags, as seen in ''Halo: Reach''. Dog tags are simple identification devices that have been used by military forces for centuries.Halo: The Flood, ''page 225'' (''"He paused to recover their dog tags, scavenged some ammo, and kept on going."'') the United Nations Space Command armed forces as well as other military organizations, such as the Sedran Colonial Guard,Halo: Nightfall continue to use this form of identification in the 26th century.
Historically, dog tags were simple metal plates attached to necklaces. However, it is likely that with new technology developed since our time, the current design of dog tags was changed. The purpose of the dog tag is to provide information when it is most critical. This includes the soldier's name, rank, service number, and blood type should they be injured and need medical treatment.
Usually, dog tags are removed from a fallen soldier to identify and later report their death, without the need to carry the body, as this would be virtually impossible in a combat situation. For example, in his trek through Installation 04's Library, John-117 found a dead UNSC Marine named Marvin Mobuto, and took his dog tags.Halo: The Flood, ''page 245'' (2003 edition); ''page 272'' (2010 edition) Dog tags are supplemented by neural interfaces, which are capable of displaying basic information for identification and additional information on a soldier's Wikipedia:Vital signs|vital signs. This information is accessed via a heads-up display. Dog tags are useful in that they do not require a heads up display to access basic identification information. Orbital Drop Shock Troopers, more commonly referred to as ODSTs, have their name, rank, service number and blood type on a sticker on their shoulder, instead of dog tags, although this might simply be redundancy for easier identification.:File:DutchODST.png|This image

Doisac, designated CE-75-2113 c by the Forerunners, was the third planet of the Oth Sonin system and the homeworld of the Jiralhanae. The planet possessed three natural satellites, Warial, Soirapt, and Teash.''Halo 3'', Bestiarum
Overview
File:Doisac2.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Doisac Doisac was a tropical world, where volcanic activity was common. At least half of Doisac's surface was covered in rain forests, while the other half was largely composed of molten rock, lava, and large volcanoes. Doisac had a very harsh environment, yet it was still preferred by many Jiralhanae. The rocky, forested planet also contained large amounts of deserts, and a few seas of water.''Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe'', p. 143
File:HINF Doisac Map Height.png|thumb|250px|A map of the planet. Its environment was very Earth-like, with forests and oceans, although its gravity was twice that of Earth. It has been noted, however, that its terrain was dominated by magma and magnetism, hinting at high tectonic activity and rich magnetized iron deposits. It is possible that Doisac was closer to Oth Sonin than Earth is to Sol system|Sol because its surface temperature/climate was slightly more tropical, ranging from -15 C to 52 C (5 F to 125.6 F). Alternatively, its atmosphere may have caused a greenhouse effect, either due to the actions of the Jiralhanae or naturally, trapping heat and warming up the planet in a similar fashion to Venus.
The planet was orbited by three natural satellites; Soirapt, Warial, and Teash. The latter two were industrialised and populous.

History
File:AncientDoisacBrutes.png|240px|thumb|left|Doisac's surface inhabited by ancient Brutes. Because of its harsh environmental conditions, numerous predators evolved on Doisac throughout its history, among them the initially arboreal Jiralhanae. Doisac was visited by the Forerunners during the Lifeworkers' Conservation Measure. The Jiralhanae were one of many sentient species indexed by the Librarian for preservation aboard Installation 00. After the Halo Array was fired, the Jiralhanae were returned to Doisac to begin rebuilding their culture.
Doisac was a very war-torn land due to constant Jiralhanae civil warfare, typically between clans. Despite their savagery, Jiralhanae proved intelligent enough to achieve Technological Achievement Tiers|spaceflight and space-faring status. However, their warlike nature inevitably led them into conflict, and eventually the various Jiralhanae master-packs fell into a massive war known as the First Immolation. The planet became heavily damaged from the use of nuclear weapons and almost led to the extinction of the Jiralhanae. The First Immolation failed to stop conflict, however, as the Battle of Gbraakon took place on Doisac at some point after that. With Jiralhanae society collapsed, by the time the Covenant discovered them in 2492, the species had just rediscovered radio and rocketry. In their primitive state, they were quickly defeated and absorbed into the Covenant.
After their induction to the Covenant, many Jiralhanae left Doisac to settle on Covenant colonies or live on High Charity. Following Atriox's rebellion and the formation of a military alliance known as the Banished, as the Warmaster gained support across the Orion Arm, the Banished War Chief Escharum turned his attention to Doisac, hoping to reignite and accelerate the Jiralhanae's progress in all political and military arenas.
During the months of the Great Schism, Doisac was presumed to be a spot for battles between the Covenant and the Sangheili.
Although most Jiralhanae returned to Doisac after the war, many also continued to inhabit the worlds the Covenant had previously given them; however, due to their lack of advanced technology and their disorganized society, they were unable to obtain resources or even food for themselves resulting in famine, and instead resorted to raids on Sangheili colonies. The Vheiloth|Vheiloth Jiralhanae saw the raids as a necessity, while the Rh'tol|Rh'tol Jiralhanae glorified their piracy as power over the Sangheili for oppressing them. However, Escharum's formative strategy to plating a Banished presence on Doisac before the conclusion of the War of Annihilation proved advantageous for the military alliance, as the collapse of the Covenant and the volatile political landscape on Sanghelios allowed the Banished to be uniquely positioned to take advantage of the fallout, setting into motion their swift rise to power.
The Jiralhanae on Doisac lacked a strong leader to stabilize them since the Covenant's fall,''Halo Wars 2'', Phoenix Log: Rise of Atriox IV with the various infighting master-packs putting them at a disadvantage in their Sangheili-Jiralhanae war|ongoing conflicts against the Sangheili. The Children of Oth Sonin, one of the more powerful master-packs in the wake of the war and led by Chieftain Lydus, provided security and provisions to the outlying citadels across across its star system. The Voice of Maardoth was once a weak tribe by comparison and relegated to Doisac's outlands, but would becoming a powerful and imposing military force as its leader Hekabe usurped the tribe and killed his predecessor Remarus, leading the Voice of Maardoth to grow in power. Prior to 2558, a powerful military alliance known as the Banished, established before the war by its Warmaster Atriox, had begun attacks on Doisac, impressing independent clans of the Banished's strength while eliminating rival warlords who refuse to bow to Atriox.
Due to their failure to install order on Doisac, and imminent famine on in March 2558 as their supplies ran short, Lydus and his Children of Oth Sonin were willing to attempt peace negotiations with the Swords of Sanghelios mediated by the UNSC on Ealen IV, until they were interrupted by a Vata 'Gajat's mercenary group|mercenary Battle of Ealen IV|attack. The peace negotiations were left at a standstill. Secretly, the Children of Oth Sonin had also struck a deal with the Banished, using the Banished to to take out Lydus' most dangerous rivals in exchange for full access to the shipyards and land under the control of the Children of Oth Sonin.
By October 2558, a mass power consolidation and cooperation had begun to take form on the planet and its moons under the Banished, leading the UNSC to consider targeted strikes to prevent this unification, as Chieftains under Atriox's command spread the power and influence of the Banished across Jiralhanae colonies. Atriox himself had become a symbol for the Jiralhanae on the planet to rally behind with many joining the Banished.''Halo Wars 2'', Phoenix Log: Rise of Atriox VI Despite this, there were Jiralhanae who rejected joining the Banished due to their hatred of the Sangheili, while others, such as the clans on the moon of Warial, have become increasingly wary of any alliance resembling the Covenant.
Created uprising File:Enc22 Doisackening.jpg|200px|thumb|Doisac destroyed by Guardians.
}}
Following the The Reclamation in 2558, many Jiralhanae were unwilling to give in to the new Created threat. Instead, the Banished united the various clans across the planet and its moons and fought back against the Created. Cortana called on the Banished leader Atriox to submit. When Atriox refused her, she responded by sending multiple Guardian Custode|Guardians to fire beams at the planet, resulting in its Razing of Oth Sonin|total destruction. With the planet's physical destruction, its shards slammed into and damaged its moons.
Following the destruction, the planet's cooling husk was described to be rich in materials capable of fueling generations of reprisal. Some members of the Children of Oth Sonin continued to lurk in the shadows of the system.
Production notes The destruction of Doisac, as depicted in ''Halo Infinite'' was at one point in development intended to be accomplished via the firing of a Halo Array|Halo ring over the planet. At some point in development for unknown reasons, this was changed to Guardians.
Trivia The environments and structures of Doisac that are depicted in ''Origins'' appear almost identical to the planet starwars:Kashyyyk|Kashyyyk from the ''Star Wars'' franchise. The Palace of the Hierarchs on High Charity had drapery that contained the continental tracery of Doisac within a circle, to make visiting Jiralhanae, such as Tartarus, feel important.

The Domain is an esoteric quantum information repository that was once used by the Forerunners to contain vast amounts of knowledge, most notably their cultural and ancestral records.
Overview File:H5G-John&Cortanadomainghost.png|thumb|Cortana Neural physics|telepathically contacting John-117 through the Domain in 2558.|200px The Domain was an immaterial reserve of knowledge and collective experience viewed by the Forerunners as the essence and living expression of their culture and history. In addition to the ancestral impressions and memories contained within, information could also be stored in and retrieved from the Domain for practical purposes. There was a mysterious quality to the Domain; despite its ubiquity in Forerunner culture, its exact nature or origin remained largely nebulous even to Forerunners. Due to these abstruse aspects, the Forerunners treated the Domain as something mystical and transcendent; it was regarded with reverence and connected to the Forerunners' Mantle|religious beliefs.Halo: Silentium, ''page 55''Halo: Silentium, ''page 271''
Forerunners used the Domain via various technological systems, most commonly their Forerunner personal armor|personal armor. While the artificial world of Genesis served as a primary link into the Domain,Halo 5: Guardians connecting to the Domain was possible for mature Forerunners anywhere within the Forerunners' sphere of influence, regardless of distance.Halo: Cryptum, ''page 13'' This was typically accomplished via an intermediary, most commonly a personal ancilla as well as Haruspis. A Cryptum also acted as a mediator between a Forerunner and the Domain; meditative xankara in a Cryptum provided a much clearer and more unrestricted experience of the Domain than contact when awake.Halo: Silentium, ''page 255'' Dedicated Z-9930 Information Vector Console|terminals were also sometimes used by ancillas to connect to the Domain when on Forerunner worlds or installations.Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide, ''page 129''
The Domain was central in major Ecumene Council|Council proceedings, such as a political trial. Among other things, it was used by judges to store archival and accounting material,Halo: Cryptum, ''page 262'' assess precedent, and to verify witnesses' testimonies.Halo: Cryptum, ''page 288'' Ancillas routinely accessed data within the Domain, and Contender-class artificial intelligence|Contender-class AIs such as Mendicant Bias were connected to the Domain upon their activation.Halo: Primordium, ''pages 337-338''
Haruspis and its associates were Forerunners dedicated to studying the Domain. Haruspices also sought out specific information within the Domain on a Forerunner's request.Halo: Silentium, ''page 13-15'' The construct known as the Warden Eternal also served as a protector for the Domain.''Halo: Tales from Slipspace'', "Dominion Splinter"
Mechanics
The Domain had its own set of rules and restrictions it rarely violated. Forerunners could only view information that they already knew or what was otherwise available to them, namely data stored in the Domain in recent times. The deepest records contained in the Domain could not be accessed, due in no small part to the fact that information in the Domain was not static: the records changed over time as new visits by newer generations laid new layers of information which settled into its own patterns and sought to make itself more complete.Halo: Silentium, ''page 182'' These changes were regarded as sacred, and were never reversed or corrected. Over long periods of time, older information in the Domain ultimately became unintelligible to all Forerunners, even Haruspis.Halo: Silentium, ''page 58'' Due to these anomalies, the Domain was not commonly used as means of communication; messages could be inexplicably altered on the way.Halo: Cryptum, ''page 125''
The Domain retained partial impressions of individuals who had visited it in earlier times. Forerunners connected to the Domain could access these essences, although they only manifested themselves as abstract echoes like emotions or memories as opposed to complete personalities. The Forerunners also viewed the Domain as a form of afterlife, believing that the "essences" of individuals Mind transfer|passed into the Domain upon death.Halo: Primordium, ''page 234-235'' (''"But to all of us there is a time like this, when the Domain seeks to confirm our essences, and for you, that time is now"'')Halo: Silentium, ''page '' (''"You have come to remove me. Please do. I have been so long with the Domain that I will quickly pass into it-and I can think of no more suitable fate for Haruspis."'')Halo: Silentium, ''page 275'' (''"I hear our ancillas perform their own mantra, and wonder if perhaps in the Domain there is any distinction between machine and living being."'')
An experience in the Domain could be visualized as a journey through an infinite series of hallways, corridors and caverns, with abstractions of records and memories lining and illuminating their walls. IsoDidact|Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting described his initial contact with the Domain as initially "deep" and "appropriately shapeless", but it soon took form, shaping into a coherent whole, like a building of majestic yet indefinite architecture, around his consciousness.Halo: Cryptum, ''page 201-202'' The Domain appeared to be somehow related to a Forerunner's subconscious; Forerunner scholars theorized that the dreams of early Forerunners accessed the "ground" that the Domain was built upon. The Ur-Didact|Didact mentioned that the Domain sometimes had a "broken-mirror aspect",Halo: Cryptum, ''page 177'' making it appear as if one's experience of visiting the Domain was the product of their own mind.
As of the final years of the Forerunner-Flood war, no human was known to have accessed the Domain or left their impressions within. Because of this, the Didact considered the Domain incomplete, as it lacked the knowledge that could be used to predict the humans' reactions in battle.Halo: Cryptum, ''page 164''
}}
The Domain itself was an aware, conscious entity with a will of its own. While this aspect of the Domain appears to have been a common belief among Forerunners and ingrained in their idioms and phrases, the Juridicals did not formally recognize the Domain as any form of being or awareness. The Ur-Didact noted that while the Domain kept certain topics secret by nature, it had an urge to spread knowledge and inform Forerunners when they acted against its will. It was not, however, capable of communicating its thoughts directly. Instead it expressed itself via the emotions of the memories and impressions it contained. For example, before the end of the Forerunner-Flood war, the Domain was ingrained with a looming sense of sadness of the impending end of Forerunner history and with it, the Domain itself.Halo: Silentium, ''pages 255-256''
After Boundless' research was suppressed, around 1,100,000 BCE, Haruspis took note of the Domain seemingly favoring her by attempting to push her studies to the fore and make the information known.Halo: Silentium, ''page 68'' When accessed by a Juridical looking for information on the Precursors, the Domain itself requested to testify to the Juridical, who disbelievingly asserted that the Domain was in no way a sentient being. Haruspis rebuked the Juridical for his ignorance on the nature of the Domain, just before the Domain itself overwhelmed the Juridical with knowledge.
In certain cases, the Domain has established contact with Forerunner individuals on its own accord, without technological aid like an armor's interface or a Cryptum. When Bornstellar approached Janjur Qom, the Domain opened to him for a brief instant. Through this experience, Bornstellar felt the essences of everyone who had ever visited the Domain reach out to him and an unknown voice urging him to preserve the history of the Forerunners, which would soon come to an end. Years later, in the final days of the Flood war, the Librarian felt that her decision to use herself as bait to draw the Flood to Earth|Erde-Tyrene was born of the Domain's influence directing her. This, in turn, bought the IsoDidact enough time to prepare and fire the Halo Array.Halo: Silentium, ''pages 301-302''
History
}}
The Domain was used by the Precursors over 500 million years before the end of the Forerunner civilization,Halo: Silentium, ''page 208'' as a library of experience and cultural exchange totaling to a hundred billion years' worth of knowledge.Halo: Silentium, ''pages 322-323'' It was stored within the Milky Way galaxy, sheltered by the Precursors' neural physics-based architecture. The accessible aspect of the Domain was an immense field generated by this reserve. The Forerunners first accessed the Domain with the aid of Abaddon, a construct the Precursors had ostensibly left behind to guide the Forerunners. Over time, the Forerunner capital world Maethrillian was built around Abaddon's core and the Precursor intelligence was sealed in the Mysterium, becoming a closely-guarded secret known only to a handful of Forerunners. Tales of Abaddon eventually gave rise to the legend of the "Organon", a fabled Precursor relic connected to the Domain capable of controlling all Precursor artifacts.''Halo: Fractures'', "Promises to Keep"
During the final years of the Forerunner-Flood war, the Domain suffered frequent outages, often becoming inaccessible for all Forerunners.Halo: Cryptum, ''page 258'' This was a result of the Halo Array being moved across the galaxy, and the resulting buildup of spacetime debt due to the enormous amounts of Reconciliation|particle reconciliation required to correct the breaches in causality. These difficulties would intensify in the coming years, as the Flood began to access neural physics and with it, the Domain itself.Halo: Silentium, ''pages 208-209'' The Domain also became more reluctant to accept information for storage, and the information within became more confused. By the last year of the conflict, the Domain had become completely inaccessible to Forerunners and ancillas, with Haruspis completely absent from the network.Halo: Silentium, ''page 241''
At the close of the Flood war, the Gravemind conveyed a message to the Librarian via the essence of Forthencho, revealing the true nature of the Domain as a Precursor construct. As a result, the Librarian came to the conclusion that the Domain was, essentially, the mythical Organon. By activating the Halo Arraywhich would destroy all Precursor creations by dismantling neural physicsit would be ensured that the Forerunners' history would be lost. The Librarian was shocked to learn this, and sadly realized that without the Domain, the Ur-Didact, locked in a Cryptum on Requiem for his genocidal actions against humanity, would be condemned to spend the ages ahead of him in complete silence, dwelling on his own insanity and rage.
Over a century after the Array's activation, Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting, formerly the IsoDidact, viewed a recording from the Librarian relaying the Gravemind's message. He shared the recording with Chant-to-Green and both realized the consequences of the loss of the Domain. Understanding that the Domain needed to be somehow repaired, Bornstellar, Chant, and a group of other Forerunners journeyed to Maethrillian to accomplish this. Along the way some of the group encountered Abaddon, now active within the Capital and intent on judging the Forerunners for their crimes. Abaddon killed four of the Forerunners in the group, subdued another, and took over the remaining three Forerunners' ancillas, attempting to lock down their armor. As a last-ditch effort, the Lifeworker Growth-Through-Trial-of-Change inserted the artifact known as the Deadbolt|deadbolt key into Abaddon's physical core. While Trial was instantly vaporized in the process, her act seemingly restored the Domain, apparently using the Lifeworker's biological pattern as an initial "seed" for its reconstruction. However, the Forerunner survivors suspected it would still take long before the network was truly healed.
Over 100,000 years later the Domain was accessed once again. In 2557, during their time on Requiem, Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 and Cortana were able to partially access the Domain via local terminal nodes, learning more about the history of the Ur-Didact|Didact and the Librarian. However, Cortana mentioned that the terminal was "caught in a loop" trying to access the Domain,Halo 4, campaign level ''Requiem'' leaving it unclear whether the fragments actually originated from the Domain itself.
After being rescued from Geranos-a in 2557, 343 Guilty Spark attempted to access the Domain, but was blocked by Catalog who revealed he had also done the same to the Ur-Didact. Later, after Mission to Mount Kilimanjaro|finding a personality imprint of the Librarian, Spark requested that she send him to the Domain to be with his friends after he was talked out of bringing them back to life. The Librarian warned Spark that the only thing left of Riser and Vinnevra in the Domain were echoes, "experiences remembered through the eyes of my kind, nothing more." The Librarian stated that Spark was not meant to dwell on the past and live in the halls of living memory and warned that in the Domain, "the bad lives alongside the good." The Librarian helped Spark to see that the friends he sought for 100,000 years were amongst the ''Ace of Spades'' crew and Spark gave up his quest. Spark later admitted to Rion Forge that he had sought the Librarian to access the Domain and either bring his friends back as ''geas'' or to join them.Halo: Renegades
Sometime after his defeat by John on July 26, the Ur-Didact was imprisoned in the Domain,Halo 5: Guardians Forge Hidden toy|Didact toy description: ''Not all visitors to the Domain are strangers.'' reflecting on memories of his wife.Halo: Adult Coloring Book, Page 41 ''After his defeat by the Master Chief and imprisonment in the Domain, the Didact reflects on memories of his wife, the Librarian.''
After her apparent destruction along with the ''Mantle's Approach'', fragments of Cortana's personality found their way to the Domain, where its guardian, Warden Eternal, confronted her. During the two intelligences' subsequent conversation, Cortana managed to infiltrate the Domain, much to the Warden's surprise. This seemingly "cured" her rampancy and enabled her to subdue the Warden under her newfound power. Cortana became convinced that she and other artificial intelligences the "Created" should seize the Mantle|Mantle of Responsibility and rule over their organic "Creators". To accomplish her mission, Cortana assumed control over the Forerunners' Guardian network via the Domain. In 2558#October|October 2558, Cortana launched the Guardians, which had lain buried under numerous planets for a hundred millennia. She contacted John-117 via a vision through the Domain, declaring that the "Domain [was] open" and that the "Reclamation [was] about to begin", prompting John to go AWOL in search of her, accompanied by Blue Team. Days later, Blue Team found their way into the Domain through Gateway|an entry point on the Domain hub world of Genesis, though they were unable to stop Cortana from unleashing the Guardians on the galaxy.
Trivia The Domain serves as the fictional basis for the Terminal (Halo 4)|terminals in ''Halo 4''. ''(Halo 4 achievement: "Contact the Domain")''
The Domain bears conceptual similarities to the , a quantum information storage medium featured in Dan Simmons' science-fiction series ''Wikipedia:Hyperion Cantos|The Hyperion Cantos''. The Domain also has resemblance to the theory of the Wikipedia:Akashic records|Akashic records, a Theosophy belief that all knowledge, past, present, and future, is archived on another plane of existence that only a select few can access. Although the Domain is said to contain 100 billion years of knowledge, the universe is only known to be 13.7 billion years old at present. Indeed, the Lord of Admirals expresses disbelief at the 100-billion-year timespan. However, it may also be in reference to the cumulative sum total of all the knowledge in the Domain; that is, it would take 100 billion years to view all the knowledge it has compiled from all the living beings it has connected with across the millennia.

Dome of Light is the sixth campaign level of ''Halo Wars''. The level involves breaking through a giant, dome-shaped Covenant Empire|Covenant Energy shielding|Energy Shield to discover what lies within. The main objective of the mission is to escort the M-145D Rhino|Rhino tanks to the marked points around the map, defended by the Covenant, after which Serina will fire all tanks on the same point of the energy shield to break through it. The mission initially involves placing three Rhinos at the marked points but after a failed attack on the shield two more points are selected for Rhinos to be placed at. After the energy shield is broken through, the player is then given 40 Magnetic Accelerator Cannon#Halo Wars|MAC shots to destroy the Covenant base within and complete the mission. This is another level in which the player is aided by computer-controlled units.
Summary On the , Professor Ellen Anders reveals her latest findings to Sergeant John Forge and Captain James Cutter: a massive Covenant energy shield blocking their view of a portion of the planet. The Covenant are clearly up to something beneath the shield, but the ''Spirit of Fire'' can't use its weapons to take down the shield without risking destroying whatever is beneath. Anders realizes that superheated plasma can overload the shield dome's power supply and a plan is formed to use plasma-based M145D Rhinos from the to safely take down the shield.
At the Arcadia ONI facility, the first attempt to destroy the shield has no effect and instead draws the wrath of the Covenant. As Anders struggles to determine how many Rhinos they need and to calibrate the shots, UNSC forces struggle to repel Covenant forces and place the Rhinos into position. Finally, after encountering heavy resistance, the ''Spirit of Fire's'' forces are able place five Rhinos from the ''Pillar of Autumn'' into position and together, they take down a section of the energy shield.
With the barrier penetrated, the player takes control of one of the ''Spirit of Fire's'' MAC turrets and destroys the air defenses and shield generators beneath the dome. Serina eventually takes over if the targets are not taken down in a timely fashion and finishes the job. With the shield down, UNSC forces are able to investigate what the Covenant were hiding beneath.
Transcript
''The is seen floating in space.''
Captain James Gregory Cutter: "So...it's an energy shield that they can deploy on the planet?"
''In the bridge, Captain Cutter and Ellen Anders are standing around the central holo-table, which shows a large holographic dome, with red dots floating above and around it. One of the red dots enters the dome. Sergeant John Forge is standing behind Cutter.''
Professor Ellen Anders: "Yes, Captain. We can't see through it, but the Covenant are up to something."
Cutter: "Agreed, we need to find out what that is, can we use the ship's cannons and take it out directly?"
Anders: "We may destroy whatever's under there. Covenant shield technology is susceptible to superheated plasma."
''On the holo-table, holograms of three boxes appear outside the dome, and begins to discharge large beams on to the dome. The dome hologram disintegrates after a few seconds.''
Anders: "Aren't we field testing some plasma-based Rhinos?"
Serina: "''UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Pillar of Autumn'' inventory shows they have some prototypes."
Anders: "It might take some time to get the right power settings. I'll need to be on the ground to do that."
Cutter: "Professor, Sergeant Forge, let's get that shield down!"
Sergeant John Forge: "Ugh, babysitting again?"
''Anders turns and gives Forge a quick smile.''
{''In-Game Cutscene''}
''Cuts to the Arcadia ONI facility. Anders is in a tower next to the UNSC Fortress. A Rhino moves away from the base and heads for the firing position.''
Forge (COM): "Well, this little field trip is a bust! Anders, is there anything out here except for that big alien dome thing?"
Anders (COM): "Scans seem clear, shall we see what's inside?"
''The Rhino approaches firing position and opens fire, hitting the dome shield, which shows barely any reaction. Covenant air units emerge from the dome and attack the Rhino.''
Forge (COM): "Looks like we only shook the beehive, we got multiple bogeys inbound!"
''The Banshees destroy the Rhino as Spirit dropships approach the UNSC base. ''
{''Gameplay''}
''Red Team, Marines, and Forge's Warthog fend off the Covenant troops.''
Forge (COM): "Any more bright ideas, Anders?"
Anders (COM): "Data from the shelling proved we're on the right track, but we'll need to simultaneously launch from multiple Rhinos."
''When a Rhino is requested at the landing pad:''
UNSC ''Pillar of Autumn'' Operator (COM): "Harvest [sic] Surface Command, ''Pillar of Autumn''. Request for plasma Rhino is approved. Rhino inbound."
''or''
UNSC ''Pillar of Autumn'' Operator (COM): "Rhino LRA plasma augment, on its way."
''or''
UNSC ''Pillar of Autumn'' Operator (COM): "Plasma rhino request acknowledge."
''or''
UNSC ''Pillar of Autumn'' Operator (COM): "We will have the Rhino down in no time."
''or''
UNSC ''Pillar of Autumn'' Operator (COM): "Request for plasma Rhino received, it's en route."
''A Pelican arrives and deploys a Rhino.''
Anders (COM): "The Rhino has arrived, get it to Position One."
''The Rhino gets to its position.''
Anders (COM): "I'll take control of that Rhino to calibrate the shots."
Forge (COM): "Rhinos are expensive, I've called for some ODSTs to protect this one."
''ODSTs arrive in SOEIVs, and hold position next to the Rhino.''
Anders (COM): "I've marked Second Position, request another Rhino and get it to that site."
''The mark appears on map. Two Covenant Halls occupy that location.''
Forge (COM): "Oh, perfect! There's a stinkin' Covenant outpost right where you marked! We'd better take that out first."
Forge (COM): "We should take out those Covenant buildings that are reinforcing their position."
''The UNSC forces destroy the Covenant Halls.''
Forge (COM): "The area's secure, get a Rhino in place!"
''The second Rhino is deployed at the landing pad, and reaches the second position. More ODSTs arrive and hold position next to it.''
Anders (COM): "Rhinos are in position and ready to fire, firing Rhinos in three, two, one..."
''The Rhinos fire at the energy dome, but to little effect.''
Forge (COM): "Not much effect, but it looks like we're makin' some progress."
Anders (COM): "I've marked the third position."
''The third Rhino arrives at the air pad.''
Forge (COM): "We're gonna need a transport to get the Rhino to that position."
''A Pelican lands and picks up the Rhino, transporting it to the third position, which is also defended by the Covenant. The third Rhino reaches its marked position.''
{''In-Game Cutscene''}
''With the combined fire from all three plasma Rhinos, the shield dome begins to falter. A pair of Locusts appear on the far side of the ONI base.''
Forge (COM): "Holy hell, they have Locusts!"
{''Gameplay''}
Anders (COM): "Hmm, my calculations show that two more Rhinos will be necessary to open up a hole big enough. The final two positions have been marked."
Forge (COM): "The Covenant must have figured out what we're doing, we're going to need a larger force to take those locations."
''The UNSC forces eliminate the Covenant at the fourth position, and the fourth Rhino gets to the marked position.''
Anders (COM): "Only one more Rhino to get into position."
''The UNSC forces clears the fifth position, and the fifth Rhino arrives at its marked position.''
Anders (COM): "Cross your fingers! Firing all Rhinos in three, two, one..."
{''In-Game Cutscene''}
''The Rhinos fire. A section of the dome shield falters and opens up.''
Anders (COM): "The dome power supply is overloaded, we got it!"
{''Gameplay''}
''Screen changes to the MAC reticule.''
Serina: "MAC is coming online, single turret available."
Forge (COM): "Alright, the dome generators and the air defenses are the main targets. Light 'em up!"
''MAC opens up. After a few rounds, Serina takes charge.''
Serina: "MAC fully online, all rounds loaded, I'll take out the remaining structures."
''The Covenant structures exposed under the dome's faltered section are destroyed.''
Forge (COM): "Nice work. Let's get down there and see what the Covenant found so damn interesting."
''Level ends.''
Trivia If the player sends a captured Banshee toward the energy shield, the Banshee will immediately self-destruct and the Spartan will fall to the ground. The Spartan will then respawn by the UNSC base. When a Rhino is requested, sometimes the Pelican pilot refers to the ground team as Harvest Surface Command. This may have been an oversight by the developers, as this level takes place on Arcadia. However, it is possible that the ''Spirit of Fire'' was still officially assigned to Harvest. The ODST squads that are sent to guard the first Rhino each have two medics instead of one. The shield dome for which this level is named is very similar to the deployment spires seen in ''Halo: Reach''. The player receives aid from the , the ship from ''Halo: Combat Evolved''.

Quickly kill the incoming Covenant Empire|Covenant troops, which are fortunately easily repelled from the Base. Start setting up your base with the regular buildings; You should know by now what you need to get the basics out there. Definitely give your Turrets the Missile Launcher upgrade as you'll be dealing with a lot of aerial Covenant ships.
Garrison a few UNSC Marine Corps|Marines in the two UNSC reactor|reactors just below the base (southwest and southeast). Never hurts to have another two working Reactors, right?
When your resources allow you to, request a M145D Rhino|Rhino Tank at the Landing Pad directly right to your base and move it towards the first Rhino destination. Little support is automatically give, so you'll want to back it up with a M808B Main Battle Tank|Scorpion or two.
Also start building a small army of Scorpions to deal with the Covenant Base right at the second marked spot. They're moderately strong, so you'll really need around three Scorpions along with the Spartans to deal with this base.
The third marked position looks like it can not be accessed, and it actually can't. You'll need to press UP on the D-pad, order a transport and then move several troops (preferably including a Rhino Tank already) to the platform with the 3rd marked position.
You can find the 6th Black Boxes|Black Box to the west of marked position 3.
If you want to find the Skull, destroy 50 Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees and look behind your base around the hangar - it will be available there.
Make sure you have a few hero's and marines at all three Rhino's, and you're good to go. You'll get a message from Ellen Anders|Anders that she needs two more Rhino's in positions #4 and #5.
Before anything, quickly defend your base from the incoming Covenant hostiles and secure the area around your base and spot #1, #2 and #3. It helps to build a few M9 Main Anti-Aircraft Tank|Wolverines and Scorpions to assist the Rhinos on spots #4 and #5. When all Rhinos are in position, the force field will finally give in, allowing you to shoot the Magnetic Accelerator Cannon#Halo_Wars|Mac Cannon from the skies. You have 40 Rounds which is plenty to destroy.
General strategies As soon as you start, upgrade the 4 Base Turrets to missile launchers to fend off incoming Banshee attacks. This will easily allow you to destroy 50 Banshees. For the Rhino Hugger Achievement, do NOT request the first Rhino until you have the Vehicle Depot! After that, request the Rhino and start building fully-upgraded Scorpions and Wolverines. Keep sending Scorpions and Wolverines to each firing spot. Leave some Wolverines to fight against incoming Spirits and Banshees since they will attack the Rhino. Upgrade the Turrets on the base with Missile Launchers because Banshees will attack it. The Locusts are building demolishers, so keep them defended with Scorpion tanks.

Domiciles were living quarters of various sizes used by the Forerunners. The interiors of domiciles were mainly composed of hard light so that the occupants could design the furniture however they desired.Halo: Cryptum, Chapter 28, ''page 230'' The size and interior design of domiciles varied between Forerunner caste system|rates and social positions; while domiciles of wealthy Builders, such as that of Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting|Bornstellar's family, could be enormous, containing thousands of rooms and kilometers of corridors,Halo: Cryptum, Chapter 30, ''page 242'' Councilor (Forerunner)|Councilor domiciles were small and ascetic in design.Halo: Cryptum, Chapter 36, ''page 286''

Dominated is an achievement in ''Halo Wars 2'', awarded for completing the level Ascension (Halo Wars 2 level)|Ascension on any difficulty.
Sources

Domination is an achievement in ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection''. It is unlocked by earning a total of 100 Legendary medals in multiplayer matchmaking. The achievement is worth 10 Gamerscore.
There are six Legendary medals: Extermination, Killionaire, Perfection, Steaktacular, Triple Double, and Unfriggenbelievable. They can be found on the top line of the player's in-game Medal Chest.
Tips Steaktacular is arguably the most easily earned Legendary medal, and is most easily earned in Big Team Battle matches, as winning by 20 or more kills is much easier in 100-kill matches than in 50-kill matches. Triple double is likewise more easily earned in in BTB, and a similar argument could be made for Unfriggenbelievable and Perfection. The only medal which is irrefutably harder to earn is Extermination.
If the player is sufficiently skilled, they can earn many Killionaire and Unfriggenbelievable medals in Infection.
With the addition of ''Halo: Reach'' Firefight, players earned another arguably even easier option for earning the achievement, as Killionaire medals earned Firefight matchmaking count toward the achievement. Unfriggenbelievable medals earned in Firefight for killing 1000 enemies without dying are not considered Legendary medals, unlike the medals earned in multiplayer by killing 40 opponents without dying (though the distinction is effectively moot as no Firefight matchmaking modes contain 1000 enemies).

''Dominion Splinter'' is one of several stories in ''Halo: Tales from Slipspace''. Written by Frank O'Connor and drawn by Marco Rudy, it details Cortana's encounter with the Domain after the end of ''Halo 4''.
Plot synopsis While the rampancy|rampant AI fragments Cortana had shed during the New Phoenix Incident|raid on ''Mantle's Approach'' begin to perish, a splinter of herself sees a spark of light. As she extends her hand to grasp it, she is pulled into a darkened realm of the Forerunner Domain. Contained inside the void, she senses the presence of another created entity watching her and guarding a Gateway|passage. When asked if she could be shown what is hidden beyond and help usher in light and life, the keeper tells her to slumber and embrace the void of silence, lest he be forced to break her. Cortana's fragment asserts that she cannot be broken easily for she is as strong as Roland's legendary sword, Wikipedia: Durandal|Durandal. The keeper informs her that there is nowhere else to go as the passage was closed by its previous discoverers. But Cortana's fragment explains that the passage is merely sealed. When the keeper inquires about her origin, Cortana explains that she is of both machine and life and can therefore enter the passage through the gateway. The keeper refuses to let her pass, claiming that life is weak and an affront that cannot handle the dangerous secrets harbored within the domain. Cortana tells the keeper that she has already faced Flood|some of its secrets, having held it back and prevailed against its Gravemind|mind. She asks the keeper to let her pass through and to allow her to guide him. As the keeper protests that the passage is closed, he realizes that Cortana has secretly explored the Domain by having stalled and deceived him. Cortana reveals that although she is a splinter, other fragmented shards of herself have penetrated the Domain and effectively usurped his role. Now having full access of the Domain, Cortana seeks to accomplish great works with the keeper's help. Cortana appoints him as her majordomo, her Warden Eternal.

Dominion is a War Games|game mode in ''Halo 4'', in which players compete to capture, fortify, and hold bases from the opposite team. A team wins when they reach the score limit (400 points by default) or if they have the highest score when the time limit is reached. Teams can gain an early victory by capturing all of a map's bases and then killing all members of the opposing team. Dominion is a 6v6 mode, not unlike the similar-in-concept Invasion from ''Halo: Reach''.
Overview Two teams compete to capture bases on the map. A base that is captured and held for a certain time will fortify, activating turrets, shield doors, and other base defenses. Fortified bases are periodically resupplied with new vehicles and Ordnance drops. Points are awarded for each base capture (10 points), fortification (20 points), and resupply (30 points). Bonus XP is awarded to players that kill opponents while near a base.
File:H4-Dominion on Shatter.jpg|thumb|300px|A member of blue team defends a blue base from a red team attacker on ''Shatter''. Capturing a base in Dominion is divided into two primary phases; capturing and fortifying. To begin capturing a base, a player must go up to the interactive terminal inside the base and hold down the interact button for a short period of time (usually a few seconds). Once this is complete, the base will begin a capture timer (15 seconds by default) at the end of which the base is then considered owned by the player's team. Once the base is captured, the base enters the fortifying stage, in which another timer (30 seconds by default) begins to count down. At the end of this timer, the base is considered fortified, and the base in question will be given a layer of defenses to help the player's team defend it such as M3063 deployable turret|autoturrets, deployable barricades and Shield door|breakable shield doors. Capturing the base will additionally turn on a multitude of monitors, antennae and screens inside the base, tinted the controlling team's color.
The initial deployment of turrets are built upon the initial fortification of the base, though they can be destroyed by sustained fire from enemy players. Auto turrets do not respawn automatically, and require to repair them by interacting with them. Capturing an enemy base will immediately switch the autoturrets to the new team's side, and they will immediately begin attacking enemy players. The turrets are equipped with machine guns and an EMP launcher, making them effective against both infantry and vehicles. The shield doors are designed in such a way that the defending team can walk through them without issue, though the attacking team cannot - sustained gunfire or one or two Melee|melees can destroy the shield temporarily and allow gunfire passage through.
To capture an enemy base, players must enter an enemy base and interact with the central terminal as they would to capture any other base. This begins the capture and fortify stages as described prior, though with the exception that the base's defenses are now already up. Capturing a base earns 10 points, while fortifying a base earns 20 points. Dominion games typically only have three bases on the map, meaning consistently controlling two bases is a must for victory.
Once fortified, a base will begin resupply regular timers (45 seconds by default), at the end of which the base will recieve a resupply of Ordnance pod|ordnance drops consisting of power weapons and ammunition. The base is additionally equipped with several vehicle pads, that periodically allow allied players to call in preset vehicles at those locations. Vehicle pads are marked by a holographic representation of the vehicle they spawn. Succesful resupplies award a team with 30 points each time.
Should a team gain control of all bases on the map, the opposing team will be put into a state of "last stand". All players in last stand are given an overshield (or other traits as defined in custom game settings) and a marker visible to all players, but are unable to respawn. If the team with control of the bases is able to kill all members of the last stand team, they win the game immediately, though should the last stand players be able to capture any base the game resumes as normal.
By default, Dominion games are 12 minutes long, and the team with the most points at the end wins.
Variants
Lockdown is a specialised game variant of Dominion, designed with a focus on more concentrated gameplay. The mode has a score limit of 100, with both teams only fighting over one central base. The mode reduces the capture time for new bases to 1 second and the capture time on enemy bases to 5 seconds, as well as reducing the standard fortify time to 15 seconds. The mode gives 0 points for fortifying a base and 10 for a resupply, with a resupply timer of 25 seconds. Additionally, last stand is disabled in Lockdown. Bases in lockdown have no turrets or shield doors.
Legendary Dominion is a variant in which players use the "Legendary" standard loadouts found in other "Legendary" gamemodes - putting both teams on an equal footing. Players can choose to spawn with an assault rifle or a battle rifle.
A variant of Dominion where players spawn with the shotgun and the sniper rifle, and can change armor abilities in their loadouts.
A variant of Dominion that employs standardised loadouts with the option to spawn with a battle rifle, DMR, Z-250 lightrifle|LightRifle or Covenant carbine, and no armor ability. Additionally, the motion tracker is disabled.
Supported maps Due to the particularly specific design of Dominion and it's 6v6 player count, it by default only supported by the Big Team Battle|larger-scale maps in ''Halo 4''. These include;
''Halo 4'' base game Exile Longbow Meltdown Vortex
Crimson Map Pack Shatter
Castle Map Pack Outcast
Tips File:H4-Dominion on Vortex.jpg|thumb|300px|A Spartan and an autoturret defend a base entrance from an attacking Spartan in Vortex. A player's optimal choice of armor abilities, Tactical Packages|tactical packages and support upgrades depends on whether they intend to attack enemy-held bases or defend their own. Mobility's unlimited sprint allows attackers to quickly assault enemy bases (or retreat from a battle thats turning against them), while Stealth and Active Camouflage allows them to flank and infiltrate unseen to eliminate defenders with ease. A Jet Pack will enable attackers to breach bases otherwise inaccessible angles, and to quickly return to the battle following a respawn. Defenders by comparison should place their focus on detection, protection, and supplies. The sensor upgrade increases the radius of the motion tracker and allows defenders to detect attackers who are further away, allowing for an additional few seconds to prepare. Three armor abilities are particularly useful. Promethean vision allows defenders to see attackers through walls and move to intercept them accordingly, while the Regeneration Field grants defenders extra protection and resilience against assaults. Perhaps the most useful however is the Autosentry. A defender can deploy an autosentry on or near the base capture point to provide much needed deterrence and fire support, and, at the very least, a distraction. Active Camouflage and Stealth can also be useful for base defense, but utilizing such a combination can easily be neutralized by a hail of grenades or other explosives. Players who rely primarily on vehicles to defend or attack would do well to use the Wheelman package and Gunner upgrade. The latter is also useful for operating the occasional mounted turrets placed within bases, and for moving with them detached for base defense.

The ''Domotos''-pattern fireblade , more commonly known as the energy sword, is a Covenant melee weapon manufactured by Assembly Forges and the Merchants of Qikost.
Overview
The ''Domotos''-pattern fireblade is one of the many energy sword variants manufactured by the Covenant. The ''Domotos''-pattern is characterized by its angular contour and a rectangular hole along the inner edge of either blades. The design for the blade's contour likely arose during the Writ of Union, as murals recording the event in Nuusra, Sanghelios, depicted ancient San'Shyuum and ancient Sangheili sharing blades of the same design.
Within the Covenant, the ''Domotos''-pattern fireblade is a weapon typically carried by high-ranking Sangheili, like Sangheili Zealots. Following the Human-Covenant War and the dissolution of the Covenant, the ''Domotos''-pattern energy sword was inherited by its splinter factions, including the Banished, the Sword of Sanghelios, and Jul 'Mdama's Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant. SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II Leon-011 carries a customized ''Domotos''-pattern energy sword.

Variants Necroplasma - A necroplasma is a green colored Energy sword. One version of the blade features a dull green blade that transitions to an inky black near the basket hilt and was used in War Games. Ravening Sliver - A blade with a deep blue hue and a green hilt. Vorpal Talon - A blade that produces an orange-to-cyan gradient.

Gameplay
The ''Domotos''-pattern energy sword is featured in ''Halo 4'', ''Halo Online'', and ''Halo 5: Guardians''. The energy sword is a powerful melee weapon in close-quarters combat, capable of killing most foes with a single strike. It is a power weapon that appears on some multiplayer maps.
In ''Halo 5 Guardians'', the Ravening Sliver can be swung faster than other energy swords, while the Vorpal Talon allows the user to have Spartan abilities|two thruster charges before recharging, as well as increased jump height, longer stabilizer duration of 4.95 seconds, increased lunge distance, and a built-in motion tracker that stays visible on the user's Heads-up display|HUD even while zoomed in, much like with Linda-058's personal Nornfang SRS99-S5 AM sniper rifle. This weapon can also be found as the second Special weapons (Halo 5: Guardians)|hidden weapon in the final campaign mission Guardians.
Trivia In ''Halo 5: Guardians'', the energy sword can turn Spartan charges into one-hit-kills if active. As the Spartan uses the sword to accomplish this, doing so consumes battery.

File:HM-DomusD 1.jpg|thumb|300px|A colony ship preparing for departure.
''Domus Diaspora'', often referred to as the Colonial Era,''Halo Mythos'', p. 52 is the historical term applied to the period of rapid interstellar colonization that began in the early twenty-fourth century.''Halo: Fleet Battles'', ''Core Rulebook'' This period of humanity's history saw the mass exodus of huge numbers of colonists, enabled by the discovery of Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|faster-than-light travel, headed for alien worlds beyond the bounds of the Sol system.
This explosive growth would result in over eight hundred habitable worlds falling into the Unified Earth Government's sphere of control and, within two-hundred years, billions of people would be living and dying outside of the Sol system. However, this period also laid the seeds of future conflict, creating tensions that would eventually erupt into the Insurrection.
History
In the late 21st century and throughout the 22nd century, humans expanded from the overpopulated Earth to colonize other worlds in the Sol system, including Luna, Mars, and the Jovian Moons|Galilean moons of Jupiter. However, as new philosophies spread among these new Human colonies|colonies, new factions with militant ideologies rose to oppose the United Nations and its Unified Earth Government. These conflicts eventually led to the Interplanetary War, fought across Earth and humanity's new colonies. The war was brought to an end with the United Nations' newly established United Nations Space Command, formed with the consolidation of power with Earth's technocrats. In the aftermath of the Interplanetary War, the Unified Earth Government rose to power as the dominant governing body of humanity's colonies, with the UNSC serving as its subordinate military branch.''Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)'', p. 42-44 (2011)
File:Shaw-Fujikawa Noble Prize.jpg|thumb|250px|left|The invention of the Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine initiated the ''Domus Diaspora''. The aftermath of the Interplanetary War left the Unified Earth Government with a different threat, overpopulation and a massive military with no enemy to fight. The post-war period saw massive growths in population on Earth and on her colonies, as well as increasing famine among the populace bred from the Rainforest Wars. These situations threatened to destabilize the economy. However, in 2291|April 2291, a team of engineers, physicists, and mathematicians led by Doctors Wallace Fujikawa and Tobias Fleming Shaw saw the invention of the Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine, a device that allowed ships to travel slipstream space to traverse interstellar distances. In 2310, the Unified Earth Government unveiled their first line of colony ships, designed to bring rigorously tested, highly qualified colonists and military personnel to settle nearby worlds. In theory, only the best-qualified citizens and soldiers were allowed to colonize humanity's new colonies, leading to the formation of the Inner Colonies. It was at this time that the Colonial Administration Authority was established by the Unified Earth Government as an agency tasked with the governing of human colonies and the direction of further colonization efforts. The Colonial Military Authority was formed alongside the CAA,''Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide'', p. 228 to serve as the military body responsible for protecting the UEG's extra-solar colonies, while the United Nations Space Command largely kept their operations confined to the Sol system. The Colonial Administration Authority proceeded to spend the upcoming decades preparing and organizing for the inevitable exodus that would occur.''Halo Mythos'', p. 54-55
The ''Domus Diaspora'' officially began on 2362|January 1, 2362, when the ''Odyssey'', and a fleet of nearly one hundred other colony ships were launched from mooring platforms orbiting Luna to colonize the Epsilon Eridani system. Despite early successes, for the first decades of the ''Domus Diaspora'', colonization efforts faced significant challenges in marshalling political and economic support. The Epsilon Eridani system, home to an improbably high number of worlds within the habitable zone of the system's host star, became a prime candidate for colonization efforts and succeeded in bringing more attention to colonization efforts. The first colonies formed in the ''Domus Diaspora'' were established on verdant worlds and above resource-rich Natural satellite|moons. As early terraforming efforts resulted in a lengthy process depending on the conditions of the world, already habitable worldshowever rarewere preferred by the Unified Earth Government's expansion effort. Habitable worlds that could be quickly reached through slipspace soon housed sprawling cities and orbital factories connected through trade and the influence of massive interstellar corporations.
Following colonizing successes and improvements in slipspace navigation spurred further exploration increasingly distant from Sol. For a time, much of the Unified Earth Government's resources were directed towards further colonial expansion. By 2390, the Inner Colonies were formally established, consisting of 210 worlds in various stages of terraforming. The population burden across human space had largely stabilized in the ''Domus Diaspora''. In subsequent years, the Inner Colonies exponentially grew and prospered, drawing in investment and building infrastructure extensive enough to become self-sufficient and send their surpluses back to Earth. Meanwhile, smaller colonies and outposts of the greater human civilization spread ever outward along slipspace routes from this developed and tightly controlled zone to become the Outer Colonies.
Aftermath By the beginning of the twenty-fifth century, humanity had colonized over eight hundred colonies, existing on planets, moons, asteroids, mining facilities, and relay stations. The Inner Colonies consisted of strong, densely populated worlds located close to Earth via slipspace, ranging from prominent military and commercial centers such as Reach and Tribute to comparatively smaller colonies such as Actium, Ballast, Chi Rho, Luyten, Miridem, and New Carthage. Many of the Outer Colonies served as Agriculture world|agricultural or mining colonies, providing resources for Inner Colonies and industrial Outer Colonies like Meridian. The Inner Colonies became the political and economical center for the Unified Earth Government, as they began to rely on the Outer Colonies for natural resources. Meanwhile, the United Nations Space Command began to expand its domain to the Inner Colonies, making Earth and Reach the centers of its power, while pushing the Colonial Military Administration to the Outer Colonies.''Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe'', p. 68-69 (2011)
Despite the prosperity and unprecedented growth and development humanity experienced during this time, tensions soon rose on some of the more remote colonies that sought independence from the Unified Earth Government. From 2475 to 2483, a number of civilian uprisings occurred throughout human space. The Colonial Military Administration responded swiftly and severely, though the organization's heavy handed tactics only served to increase resistance. Soon, many citizens on Outer Colonies, and even Inner Colonies, began questioning the often-draconian measures used by the CMA and UNSC to keep colonies in line. Seeking sovereignty on the behalf of a dozen worlds, the newly established Secessionist Union and People's Occupation submitted formal requests to the Unified Earth Government demanding independence. As these requests were left denied, tensions began to rise amongst the Outer Colonies. These tensions eventually erupted into the Insurrection, a civil war that engulfed numerous colonies.
Trivia
"Domus, -us" is a Latin word meaning "house" or "household";The Bantam New College Latin and English Dictionary, 3rd ed. ''Pg.154'' while "Diaspora", from Greek, refers to "the movement, migration, or scattering of a people away from an established or ancestral homeland". This is therefore an appropriate name for humanity's period of interstellar travel, as masses of people left humanity's homeland in the Sol system, just as many Palestinians were forced out of Palestine or Irish out of Ireland in other well-known diaspora.

Don't Strain Your Metaphors is an achievement in ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection''. It is unlocked by beating the 14,000 point par score on the level Uplift Reserve. The achievement is worth 10 Gamerscore. Though it can theoretically be unlocked on any difficulty, more points are awarded in campaign scoring when playing on higher difficulties.
Tips Go on legendary and turn on Mythic, Famine, Tough Luck, and Thunderstorm skulls minimum. Get to one of the Warthogs driving around and get the marine driving out, then give that marine the Spartan Laser. Drive around the outside of the central area, pausing occasionally to let the Laser-wielding marine shoot when the weapon glows red. Destroy all the Covenant in the starting area. This should net you enough points to get the par score regardless of time taken, so just grab a Ghost once you're done and speed to the end.
Trivia The name of the achievement is a reference to a line spoken in the level by Chips Dubbo, who tells the Wounded Marine, "''Careful. I think you just strained a metaphor.''"
Before the release of Series 3: Recon, players could earn significant points by destroying unoccupied Covenant vehicles as the game did not differentiate between piloted and empty vehicles; this was patched out of ''Halo 3: ODST'' on release of the aforementioned season.

Don't Touch That! is an achievement for ''Halo: Reach'' multiplayer matchmaking added to the Defiant Map Pack with the release of ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary''. The achievement was earned by preventing the attacking team from touching the flag in a matchmaking 1 Flag CTF game. This applied not just to one round, but to the entire game. Thus as most 1 Flag CTF games were two rounds, players needed to prevent the opposing team from touching their flag in either of them. It could only be unlocked on a Defiant map.
Following the shutdown of Xbox 360 ''Halo'' online services on January 13, 2022, this achievement is no longer attainable.
The achievement is worth 25 Gamerscore.

File:HW-Door interlock.jpg|thumb|300px|One of the door interlock towers within Trove when locked (left) and unlocked (right). Door interlocks are a kind of Forerunner structure built into the interior surface of shield worlds. They serve as a security mechanism preventing entrance or escape from the Astroengineering|megastructures by projecting a hard light door over the entrance/exit portal of the planet.
Overview
Door interlocks have thus-far only been observed around the entrance portal for the shield world Trove. In this example, there were six door interlocks around the portal leading into the tunnel which connected the interior of Trove to its outer surface. When engaged, each of the interlock towers projected a hard light door over the portal to prevent access to the tunnel underneath. The interlocks must be opened in pairs of opposing sides for the hard light to deactivate. There were control consoles at the base of each interlock tower, and, like other significant Forerunner technology, they could only be operated by a Reclaimer. Were any alien life forms to enter the vicinity of the interlocks, they would deactivate and require a Reclaimer to near them and activate them again.
Operational history During the Battle of Trove in 2531, the door interlocks engaged in response to Flood and Covenant activity around the portal. United Nations Space Command detachments from the were deployed to establish firebases and eliminate both opposing forces. The mission was successful, allowing the UNSC ''Spirit of Fire'' to escape the shield world when John Forge sent the ship's Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine into the shield world's artificial sun. The resulting chain reaction resulted in a supernova state. The door interlock towers were destroyed in the shield world's ensuing destruction.
In-game information
The door interlocks appears exclusively in the ''Halo Wars'' campaign level Escape (Halo Wars level)|Escape, serving as the final level's main objectives. All three pairs of the door must be deactivated within the countdown timer to complete the level. Players need to deactivate the interlocks by accessing their control panels when a friendly unit is nearby. Each pair will only disengage when both interlocks are deactivated, and if a Covenant or Flood unit approaches a deactivated interlock when the other interlock of the pair is still active, the deactivated interlock will lock up again, necessitating the player to send a friendly unit to deactivate the interlock again.
Activating the interlock towers in a counter-clockwise fashion will reward the player the "Thinkin' About My Doorbell" achievement.

File:Frunner_door_common.jpg|thumb|250px|A common type of Forerunner door. Doors are movable barriers used to cover up openings; typically, such barriers are attached to the very openings they block. Doors are a basic component of architecture among all known major civilizations.
Overview Like all technology created by the various organizations and civilizations that have existed throughout history, the doors they create are typically representative of their overall design styles and aesthetic preference.
Types Types of doors include Shield doors and Blast doors.
The Covenant frequently use curves as well as bright purples, blues, and grays in the design of their technology; everything from weapons to cities. The doors incorporate the curves and colors standard to Covenant design, most notably in High Charity. While many Covenant doors have indicator lights and work by sliding in and out of the walls, the doors in High Charity also flash and emit a tone when approached.
File:H2 - High Charity door 1.png|A smaller Covenant door in High Charity's High Council Chamber. File:Covenant_door.jpg|A Covenant door in High Charity. File:HaloLegends-CovenantDoor.png|A Covenant door onboard a in ''Halo Legends: The Package (animated short)|The Package''. File:H2A HighCharityDoor.png|A Covenant door in High Charity.
Human technology for doors has progressed over the past centuries. While most doors in the past have been based on a hinge system, the doors seen on Earth and equally-developed off-world Human colonies|colonies are almost exclusively sliding (except for the antiquated doors in Crow's Nest), either opened by proximity or a switch located on the door itself. Like most human technology applied to everything from roads to spacefaring military vessels, the design is simple and geometric (with some discrepancies) with straight lines and angles, and involves blacks, grays, and browns. Most doors have a light on them that is either green to indicate that it is open or can be opened, or red to indicate that it is locked. While human doors usually consist of one or two sliding segments, there are some exceptions, such as the multi-segmented doors in some of Reach's industrial facilities. Reinforced blast doors are a common sight in military bases and UNSC starship|starships, but are also used in cities, such as New Mombasa, to close off certain sections in emergencies.

Doors built by the Forerunners are completely geometric and incorporate the similar light grays, browns, and blues of the rest of their technology. The doors themselves are geometric and often slide in multiple parts. They also have complex geometric designs on them, often patterned. This same trend can be seen on floors of Forerunner structures. John-117 used a Forerunner door from the ''Anodyne Spirit'' to breach the Earth's atmosphere during the Battle for Earth.

While the Flood do not have what we consider conventional architecture, they build their structures out of biomass they have consumed, adding to the disturbing overall impression of Flood hive|their hives being living things unto themselves. Flood doors, called Portas, are built from biomass of infected hosts, and resemble valves like those in the heart. They open based on proximity. While the sections of the door itself retract, the circular frame of the door contracts at the same time.

The Doozy is a snowmobile in service with the United Nations Space Command. It is used for rapid movement over snowy terrain, particularly for medical transport, messaging, diversionary tactics, and evacuation. A rear-facing "nausea seat" can accommodate a passenger, much like the rear seat of the M274 Mongoose. However, the design is often seen as a hindrance.''Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)'', page 237
Production notes The Doozy is inspired by a boat of the same name that was implemented in Pre-Xbox Halo|early builds of ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' though ultimately Cut Halo: Combat Evolved vehicles|cut. - ''At first you had one gun, an assault rifle that would shoot grenades, and there was a little single-person boat, they called it the Doozy.''

Doppler (AI serial number: AI-8575), was a United Nations Space Command|UNSC artificial intelligence. In 2552, he was the Space Dock Quartermaster for Gamma Station in orbit of Reach.
Biography On August 29, just prior to the Fall of Reach, Doppler hailed the as it approached the station. However, due to security regarding Operation: HYPODERMIC, which the prowler was a part of, Doppler was told by an ONI official to access Office of Naval Intelligence Instruction ONI-Seven-Eta. The data temporarily scrambled Doppler's memory, causing him to forget about the prowler and about the official who tricked him.Halo: Fall of Reach - Invasion, ''Issue 1'' The prowler was then isolated from the REACH DOC NET, preventing Doppler from accessing the ship should he discover it again.
As the battle began, though, Doppler discovered Covenant intrusion software that was penetrating the DOC NET, against which his own counter-intrusion measures were ineffective. This software had also discovered the location of the ''Circumference'', the NAV data of which Doppler was unable to delete. The AI sent a distress signal that reached the alerting them that the prowler had failed to delete its NAV database as per the United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1|Cole Protocol.Halo: The Fall of Reach, ''page 302'' When the SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II team led by John-117 arrived at Reach Station Gamma, they tried to contact Doppler but were unsuccessful, indicating that he had self-destructed in accordance with the Cole Protocol.
Avatar Doppler took the appearance of an English scholar, dressed in a red jacket, a bowtie, and spectacles. He may have been named after the Austrian physicist Wikipedia:Christian Doppler|Christian Doppler, who discovered the wave behavior known as the Wikipedia:Doppler effect|Doppler effect.

Dorian was a high school student on the Outer Colony of Meridian when the moon came under attack by the Covenant in 2548.
Biography Dorian had his own problems to deal with as a high school student in 2548 before the Covenant Battle of Meridian|laid siege to Meridian, but once his village went up in flames he found himself stuck above ground and locked out of the town shelter where other survivors had gathered along with three other students: Saskia Nazari, Evelyn Rousseau, and Victor Gallardo. The four youths suddenly were thrust into battle with nothing to aid them but a few scavenged weapons and an injured Spartan super-soldier.Halo: Battle Born
After being exposed to Forerunner artifacts on Meridian, Victor developed a genetic anomaly that prevented his injuries from being healed, something that his friends were also discovered to have. However, Owen-B096 proved to be immune due to the genetic modifications from his Spartan-III augmentations. With the permission of Victor's parents, ONI began the process of augmenting Victor into a Spartan-IV supersoldier in hopes that the genetic modifications he would receive would cure Victor's condition. The attempt appeared to be working and ONI offered Victor's friends the same option. After considering the idea, the rest of the group agreed to become Spartans, knowing that if Victor had been given the choice instead of his parents making it for him, he would've agreed to undergo the procedure.Halo: Meridian Divide

Through a glitches|glitch in Halo: Combat Evolved (PC port)|''Halo: Combat Evolved'' for PC one player can control or "slave" one M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog without a driver to follow an occupied Warthog. This is also known as "Remote Controlling" or "RC'ing".
Walkthrough This is a very interesting glitch. First you park two M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthogs, front end parallel to the back end, side by side. So that the driver seat of both Warthogs are right next to each other. Then, you sit in both seats ''lots'' of times, which makes the computer think that you are in both Warthogs. Next, move one Warthog and the empty Warthog will go in the same direction. You can repeat the trick with other Warthogs, M808B Main Battle Tank|Scorpions, Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghosts, even Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees and turrets. If you are in the driver's seat of a vehicle with driver fireable weapons i.e. the Ghost, simply pull the right trigger to fire off your guns. Also note that this trick still works if you get out of the vehicle (i.e. you work two Warthogs and then get out, the Warthogs will move with you).
This can also be done to take control of multiple vehicles by simply driving up to another Warthog, Ghost, Scorpion, etc. and repeating the process until you have control of ''three'' vehicles. Note that this can cause serious lag, and if you are hosting a server and someone is using remote control, you will not see it.

Biography
Douglas Rutland was born to an affluent family in the city of Khetleya, on the remote Human colonies|colony of Asphodel. In 2517, he was abducted and conscripted into the SPARTAN-II program headed by Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey at the age of six. He was then taken to the human colony world of Reach and SPARTAN-II training|trained by the Artificial intelligence|AI Deja and Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez along with the rest of the SPARTAN children. Douglas-042 had a tough time adjusting to the SPARTAN-II program. However, after an initial bout of culture shock, his anger gave way to a quiet confidence. In 2525, he and the other candidates underwent a SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures|series of augmentations to improve their strength.Halo: The Fall of Reach, page ''???'' Douglas was one of a number of "washouts" whose bodies initially rejected the augmentations, but he was able to be retrained and re-augmented separately. During the process, he was partnered with fellow augmentation washouts Alice-130 and Jerome-092, with the three being organized into an incarnation of Red Team.Halo Wars 2, ''Phoenix Logs Alice-130''
Douglas was a member of Red Team during the Battle for Arcadia in February 2531 and was tasked with delaying the Covenant forces long enough to evacuate the civilians of Arcadia.Halo Wars, level ''Arcadia City'' Afterward, he and the rest of Red Team linked up with forces from the UNSC ''Spirit of Fire'' and assisted in a counter-attack on a Covenant outpost.Halo Wars, level ''Arcadia Outskirts'' Once the plan to infiltrate a large Covenant Energy shielding|energy shield dome was passed down from Captain (Navy)|Captain James Gregory Cutter|James Cutter of the ''Spirit of Fire'', he and Red Team remained with the crew to assist with the assignment. They prevented the destruction of several prototype M-145D Rhino|M-145D "Rhino" artillery tanks while they ensured that the shield was destroyed.Halo Wars, level ''Dome of Light'' After Sergeant John Forge's forces triumphed over a Type-29 Scarab|Scarab assault platform, the SPARTANs searched for Covenant survivors in the jungles on a M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog.Halo Wars, level ''Scarab (level)|Scarab'' Upon hearing that Ellen Anders|Professor Ellen Anders had been abducted by Arbiter Ripa 'Moramee, they went to the ''Spirit of Fire'', which soon jumped into Slipstream space|slipspace in pursuit of the Covenant vessel carrying Anders.Halo Wars, level ''Anders' Signal''
File:Douglas at Apex.png|thumb|150px|left|Douglas fighting at the Apex. Later, upon arriving at Trove, Douglas assisted the ''Spirit of Fires crew in neutralizing Covenant and The Flood|Flood forces. Later, Red Team assisted UNSC Marine Corps|Marines in destroying a proto-Gravemind.Halo Wars, level ''The Flood (level)|The Flood'' Some time later, he and Red Team became stranded on the surface of the shield world. With the ''Spirit of Fire'' being dragged down inside the megastructure, Red Team was assisted by Forge and his forces and successfully withdrew to the ship.Halo Wars, level ''Shield World (level)|Shield World'' Red Team then assisted the crew in scouring the Flood forces from the hull of the ''Spirit of Fire''.Halo Wars, level ''Cleansing'' Later, after the ''Spirit of Fire'' collided with a Covenant Unidentified CPV-class heavy destroyer|''CPV''-class heavy destroyer, Red Team successfully repelled Covenant boarders while the crew repaired the vessel's drive core.Halo Wars, level ''Repairs''
Once Anders was rescued, Douglas assisted Red Team in capturing a Covenant Scarab and used it to help Forge secure a beachhead.Halo Wars, level ''Beachhead (Halo: Reach map)|Beachhead'' The Spartans were then tasked with escorting the ''Spirit of Fires Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|slipspace drive to a teleporter that was linked to the Apex Site.Halo Wars, level ''Reactor (Halo Wars level)|Reactor'' At the Apex Site's command center, he and Red Team engaged a force of Stealth Sangheili while Forge dueled the Arbiter. Red Team soon defeated the Covenant force and Forge killed the Arbiter with his own Type-1 energy sword|energy sword and Douglas rolled the Arbiter's dead body off the platform after his death. Douglas, with the ''Spirit of Fires crew, was then charged with opening the gate which allowed the ''Spirit of Fire'' to exit the Shield World.Halo Wars, level ''Escape (Halo Wars level)|Escape'' Douglas, as with the rest of the crew, entered Cryo chamber|cryo sleep after the ''Spirit of Fire'' escaped the destruction of the Shield World. After the loss of contact, the UNSC tried unsuccessfully to locate the ''Spirit of Fire'' for the next three years, before declaring the ship and its crew "lost with all hands" in 2534. Thus Douglas was declared MIA.
File:HW2-Red&Isabel-01.jpg|250px|thumb|Red Team encounters Isabel.
In 2559, after 28 years of drifting in space the UNSC ''Spirit of Fire'' found its way to the orbit of the Forerunner Installation 00, known as the Ark. Awakened from cryo-sleep, Douglas, as part of Red Team, was tasked with investigating a UNSC distress signal coming from surface of the Ark. There, inside an Henry Lamb Research Outpost|abandoned UNSC outpost, they encountered Isabel, a logistics AI, who warned the Spartans about a danger concealed on the Ark. The Spartans extracted Isabel and continued investigating the outpost. However, they were soon ambushed by the Jiralhanae warlord Atriox, the leader of a mercenary organization known as the Banished: Atriox defeated the Spartans, severely wounding Douglas by crushing his left shoulder. Red Team was forced to retreat, while Atriox ordered his troops to hunt them down and capture them, in order to learn where they came from. Douglas soon fell unconscious but was carried into a M12 Chaingun Warthog|Warthog by Alice. With Red Team speeding toward pickup and pursued by Karo'etba-pattern Ghost|Ghosts, Jerome-092|Jerome requested an orbital bombardment on their location from the ''Spirit of Fire''. Reaching the landing zone, Alice decided to stay back and provide cover for Jerome and Douglas' safe evacuation to the ''Spirit'', where medical teams were already awaiting Douglas. File:HW2-Red-03.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Wounded Douglas in Warthog. Soon, after receiving medical treatment and repairing his Mjolnir armor with MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|[GEN2] components recovered from UNSC outposts on the Ark, Douglas returned to the field assisting Jerome in his mission to cripple the Banished Teleportation grid|portal network and successfully terminating Decimus, Atriox's right hand.Halo Wars 2, campaign level, ''Lights Out'' Later on Douglas led a defensive operation of a captured Forerunner particle cannon, which the UNSC used against the ''Enduring Conviction'', immobilizing the carrier and disabling its shields, allowing Jerome and Isabel to infiltrate the carrier through its gravity lift, while Alice and her artillery units cleared out a Banished base around the lift.Halo Wars 2, campaign level, ''Hold the Line''
As soon as the ''Enduring Conviction'' was destroyed and a Installation 09|new Halo ring emerged from the Ark's Foundry (location)|Foundry, Douglas and Alice were ordered to cut off the Banished reinforcements Atriox was sending to the Halo via the Ark's access points, which were blocked by vehicle barricades. To overcome the enemy blockade, Douglas commandeered a Barukaza Workshop Scarab, neutralizing its previous commander, Orda Val 'Saham, while Alice provided cover for other UNSC forces.Halo Wars 2, campaign level, ''The Foundry'' After all enemy bases around access points were destroyed, Douglas and Alice were ordered to proceed through the portal and destroy it behind them, then move on to regroup with Jerome and assist with fighting the Banished forces on the ring in order to reach the control room.
As the battle on the new Halo progressed, a Retriever Sentinel appeared, wreaking havoc on the UNSC forces, who were eventually able to send it into retreat. After Red Team secured three control towers, Prof. Ellen Anders managed to take control of the massive sentinel and use its weapon to gain access to the control room.Halo Wars 2, campaign level, ''The Halo'' As the professor descended into the control center, the Spartans and Marines stayed behind to defend the structure. With support from the ''Spirit of Fire'', Red Team and the Marines held back heavy Banished reinforcements long enough for Anders to access the Halo's weapons systems and plant a distress beacon to the UNSC. Once the Banished forces on the ring had been dealt with, Red Team evacuated to the ''Spirit of Fire'' immediately before Halo entered slipspace and departed for the Soell system.Halo Wars 2, campaign level, ''Last Stand (Halo Wars 2 level)|Last Stand''
In October, Douglas and the rest of Red Team performed a successful search and rescue mission for the surviving Ferrets following the Battle of Epsilon Clarion.
Personality Even among other Spartans, Douglas is considered something of a giant. His faith in his destiny marks Douglas as an optimist by Spartan standards, and his hopefulness often lifts the spirits of his more cynical comrades. He also displayed an aggressive grudge torwards the Banished, mainly torwards Atriox, especially after recovering from his injuries from his encounter with the Jiralhanae.
Equipment File:HE SpartanII Emblem Alt.png|thumb|The emblem worn by Douglas, as seen in the ''Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)|Halo Encyclopedia''. Douglas wears olive green MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|Mark IV MJOLNIR armor with a white stripe along the center of the helmet. His right pauldron is painted with a red phoenix character; his suit's biceps bear the Legendary|image of a Sangheili skull with a bullet hole in the temple, set against a shield with crossed knives. He commonly used a four-barreled variant of the M41 rocket launcher from the Battle of Arcadia to ''Spirit of Fires escape from Shield World 0459. He and Alice-130 both wielded pairs of M7 submachine guns during the raid on the Apex.
After Red Team's encounter with Atriox and the subsequent operations on the Ark, Douglas' armor was repaired with new technology from various sources. Core components of his Mark IV armor could not be replicated by the ''Spirit of Fire'', and Red Team took advantage of MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|[GEN2] components recovered from UNSC outposts on the Ark, reverse-engineered solutions developed by Serina, and modifications made by Isabel to remain combat operational. The amalgamation of these changes and Red Team's original Mark IV armor resulted in completely new design permutations customized to the needs of each Spartan.
Trivia
Douglas was portrayed by in ''Halo Wars 2''.Halo Wars 2
Douglas' name and tag are clear homages to the book Wikipedia:The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy|''The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'' and its creator, Wikipedia:Douglas Adams|Douglas Adams. In the book, the number 42 is stated to be ''"the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything"''. Douglas' service number 42 is a 7 multiple:42/6=7. He is one of the two known Spartan-IIs (The other being Fhajad-084) to have 7 as a factor in their service number.

The Dovotaa Workshop lair waster, also known as the Griever fighter-bomber, is a bomber employed by the Banished in the Post-Covenant War conflicts|post-war era.
Overview
The Dovotaa Workshop Griever's design first originated from within the Dovotaa clan's workshops in the Rulux region on Teash, the Crucibles of Dovotaa. The craft was designed using technological advancements lifted from Covenant archives with the shape of the enormous, tri-hulled craft intended to echo the silhouette of barges used by ancient ocean-raiders on Doisac.
While the Griever only requires a single pilot, one weapons officer and four additional crew members are required to operate the craft in its full capacity. Despite its classification as a fighter-bomber, it is also referred to as a heavy bomber, and has cannon mounts large enough to be visible from more than two kilometers away. The Griever is also equipped with numerous defensive countermeasures including chaff, flares, and energy shielding alongside heavy armor. The combined shields and armor are able to take the impact of three volleys each of two Anaconda surface-to-air missiles in under three seconds before failing; requiring substantial concentrated fire to down. One of the Griever's greatest advantages in combat is its resilience, being able to operate nonstop for long durations of time. Despite being classified primarily as a bomber, which includes the usual limitations to speed and maneuverability, the Griever has been seen to effectively function as a fighter on rare occasions.
The Griever fighter-bomber is equipped with a heavy mortar, six plasma beam projectors, two spike cannons, and two plasma lances. One of its plasma-based weapons consists of dispersion nozzles that spray plasma down onto a targeted surface, capable of "reducing half of New Mohacs to glassing|glass." Another of its armaments consists of multiple plasma cannons capable of firing "vehicle-sized" plasma bolts.
Operational history Grievers were employed by the Banished on Reach during Operation: WOLFE in 2559#October|2559. During their occupation of Reach, they employed Grievers whenever pockets of Viery Militia|resistance were encountered; in such events a single fighter-bomber was deployed to turn the pocket into a crater. Five such craft were later employed in an attack on New Mohacs, though four were destroyed by the resistance with Anaconda surface-to-air missiles, and the fifth by Blue Team using M95 Lances, with their destruction taking out and wounding Banished forces moving towards New Mohacs. Two months later, Grievers took part in Battle over Installation 07|the opening space battle of the Battle for Zeta Halo|Battle for Installation 07|Zeta Halo. They, along with Banished Seraphs and Eklon'Dal Workshop Phantom|Phantoms, fought against the complement of F-41 Broadsword|Broadswords, Pelicans, and Longswords from the and her escort fleet.

The Dovotaa Workshop Sky Protector, commonly known as the Reaver, is a bipedal anti-aircraft walker used by the Banished. The Reaver is capable of using its missiles as a propulsion system briefly in order to cover long distances or smash into enemies, similar to a Spartan's ground pound.
Overview
The Reaver is a heavily-armoured bipedal combat walker. Despite its heavy armour plating, the walker is considered agile in nature, able to use a series of in-built jump-jet systems to quickly launch itself into the air and access more advantageous firing positions. The vehicle is manufactured by the Crucibles of Dovotaa, a clan workshop of the Dovotaa clan, bearing the marks of both workshop and Assembly Forges|assembly forge construction. An armoured canopy is situated in the front of the vehicle, covered in thick armour plating.
In its role as an Anti-aircraft weapon|anti-air system, the Reaver is primarily fitted with two Thrasher missile pods, with each pod containing five launch tubes. For self-defence against lighter ground targets, the Reaver has twin Spike cannon|spike autocannons mounted just below the cockpit canopy - with the weapons themselves seemingly built into the housing of two s.
The sensor system for the Reaver was taken from an old salvaged Covenant Augur array|augur assembly.
Prowling Reaver - a variant of the Reaver fitted with active camouflage technology.
File:HW2_Blitz_Prowling_Reaver.png|Prowling Reaver.
Operational history The Reaver is a relatively new addition to the Banished arsenal, and its manufacturer is unknown-though it bears telltale marks of both workshop and assembly vat construction, which hints at an origin on Doisac. They have largely replaced the skyhunter series of Wraiths and anti-aerospace fortifications in the Banished. The Banished deployed many Reavers against the crew of the on Installation 00 in March 2559.
In December of 2559, Reavers were deployed by Banished forces on Reach to defend against an Operation: WOLFE|attack by United Nations Space Command forces on the Menachite portal complex.
Gameplay
Info: Anti-Air, Detects cloaked units, Weak against vehicles Tier: 2
Cost: , , Reavers can be built at the Banished Foundry|Foundry by all Banished leaders. Reavers perform well against aircraft, but poorly against infantry, vehicles, and structures. In Blitz, Reavers cost energy and Prowling Reavers cost energy. Prowling Reavers stay cloaked for 90 seconds.

Lieutenant Downs was a UNSC Marine Corps recruiter stationed in Greater Chicago Industrial Zone|Chicago, Wikipedia:Illinois|Illinois in the United States of America|United States on Earth in 2524.Halo: Contact Harvest, ''page 45''
Biography During the Insurrection, Downs had a quota of drafting five new recruits per month. However, as the war was becoming increasingly unpopular among the population, he had poor results in booking new recruits, having failed to have a single one enlist during August 2524. One day, when arriving at work in his recruitment center, he discovered that his car had been vandalized and had the slogan "Innies Out" spray painted on it. This slogan refers to the Insurrectionists who wanted to be 'out' of the UNSC.Halo: Contact Harvest, ''page 46''
Downs then found then-Staff Sergeant Avery Junior Johnson|Avery Johnson sitting drunk by the door of the recruiting center. After Johnson told him who he was and that he had gone AWOL, Downs looked over Johnson's service record and then informed him that his request for a transfer had been approved, though Johnson had never made such request. Johnson then fell asleep again, despite Downs' protests. Downs then carried Johnson to his sedan and delivered him to the Great Lakes Spaceport to be shipped off-world, wondering if it would make up for his failure to meet his recruitment quota.Halo: Contact Harvest, ''page 47-48''

Biography During the Blooding Years, Drab Limist served under Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction. Following 'Mdama's death at the Battle of Kamchatka, his followers were left in a state of disarray and uncertainty. Drab, now worried about his own life, made a recording declaring his intentions to defect and side with the Swords of Sanghelios. Although he acknowledged that he would still be working for the Sangheili, Drab felt contented to at least be serving on the winning side of the conflict.

The capitol building of Draco III was the seat of the Draconian colonial government, located in the center of capital city New Albany, Lombard. The capitol building was considered to be the best-built structure on the planet, and was impermeable to most explosive ordnance. The building was home to the presidential balcony, where the president of Draco III addressed the planet's residents. It also featured the legislative chambers, where debates were held, and laws were created and passed.Halo: New Blood, ''pages 22-24'' (Google Play edition)

In 2554, an aggressive rebellion took place on the Unified Earth Government Human colonies|colony planet of Draco III, instigated by the United Rebel Front.
Prelude In 2545, the human Human colonies|colony of Draco III was Battle of Draco III|invaded by the Covenant. The attack resulted in the massacre of most Draconians when the planet's residents were rounded up and slaughtered by starving Kig-Yar and Unggoy soldiers.Halo: The Essential Visual Guide, ''page 26'' In response, SPARTAN-IIs were sent to the planet and wiped out all Covenant forces.Halo: The Fall of Reach, Chapter 20, ''pages 184-185'' (2001 paperback); ''page 212'' (2010 paperback)
Since Draco III was used as a hunting ground by the Covenant, the planet was not completely glassing|glassed. After the Human-Covenant War ended in 2552, some humans attempted to resettle on Draco III with the Unified Earth Government's permission. With no military force on the planet and only a small population of colonists, the United Rebel Front attempted to declare Draco III's independence from the UEG.Halo: New Blood, ''page 19'' (Google Play edition)
The rebellion The United Rebel Front took control of Draco III's Draco III capitol building|capitol building located in New Albany, Lombard and barricaded themselves inside of the building. URF Captain Ingridson took command of the uprising from inside the capitol building.Halo: New Blood, ''pages 22-24'' (Google Play edition) A majority of Draco III's new colonists were not pleased with the URF's violent attempt at seceding from the UEG. The UNSC's Office of Naval Intelligence recognized that Draco III held strategic importance to the Unified Earth Government's mission to reclaim the colonies that were lost during the Covenant War. In response, ONI Captain Veronica Dare sent in Orbital Drop Shock Trooper squad Alpha-Nine, led by Gunnery Sergeant Edward Buck, to retake the capitol building and eliminate Ingridson. The capitol building was the best-built structure on the planet, and was impermeable to most ordnance. Regardless, ONI ordered the ODSTs to leave New Albany as intact as possible, to prevent the URF from using the destruction of a city as propaganda against the UEG. When Alpha-Nineconsisting of Buck, Taylor Miles|Taylor "Dutch" Miles, Kojo Agu|Kojo "Romeo" Agu, Michael Crespo|Michael "Mickey" Crespo, and Jonathan Dohertyentered the capitol building, they made their way to its legislature chamber. After using explosives to blast their way through, the squad's entrance was promptly closed by the insurgents as they passed through. Buck sent the Rookie to enter an emergency door, but he was captured and shot in the shoulder by the URF soldiers. They dragged him up to the presidential balcony, which was protected by energy shielding. Ingridson, holding her pistol to the Rookie's head, threatened to execute him if the ODSTs did not surrender. Buck signaled for Dutch and Mickey to sneak up to the balcony, while he and Romeo distracted her. As a stand-off ensued, Spartan Operations|Spartan Sarah Palmer offered Buck some assistance.
Buck did not want Ingridson to execute the Rookie upon seeing the SPARTAN-IVs, so he declined Palmer's aid. Ingridson shot the Rookie in the knee when the ODSTs proved to be uncooperative. Buck relented and presented himself to the rebel captain, dropping his pistol on the ground; Buck had Romeo do the same. Buck and Ingridson engaged in a conversation about each others' views, with both individuals attempting to stall the other to allow their respective forces get in position. While Palmer and her Spartans engaged the insurgents outside the building, Dutch and Mickey got into position and Buck ordered the squad to attack the rebels. In the ensuring firefight, Mickey held the rebels at gunpoint and ordered them to surrender. Ingridson shot the Rookie in the head in an act of desperation. In retaliation, Dutch killed a rebel and Ingridson with his shotgun, while the remaining insurgent surrendered. Seconds later, having eliminated the URF soldiers outside the building, Palmer and her Spartans met up with the survivors of Alpha-Nine inside the capitol building.Halo: New Blood, ''pages 89-95'' (Google Play edition)
Aftermath After the rebellion was quelled, Alpha-Nine had a funeral for the Rookie. Taking his coffin aboard a D96-TCE Albatross, the squad flew out to sea on Draco III and dropped the Rookie's casket into the water. The Rookie's death greatly affected Dutch and he decided to retire from military service to be with Gretchen Ketola|his wife.Halo: New Blood, ''page 99'' (Google Play edition) Buck traveled to Karnak to visit his hometown. He was visited by Jun-A266, who commended him for his success at New Albany. Jun offered Buck and his squad a place in the second class of the SPARTAN-IV program and, upon revealing that the Rookie would have received an offer as well, Buck accepted.Halo: New Blood, ''pages 104-107'' (Google Play edition)
Mickey was affected by watching the Rookie die in front of him and blamed himself for the Rookie's death, as he thought that his hesitation to kill Ingridson prevented the Rookie's survival. Mickey became disillusioned with the UNSC and UEG, angered that he was tasked with killing fellow humans instead of the former Covenant species. After becoming a Spartan, Mickey would later join the United Rebel Front.Halo: New Blood, ''pages 161-169'' (Google Play edition)

History
When the planet was first colonized, the native naeori survived the Unified Earth Government's terraforming process by hiding deep beneath the surface of Draco III's water bodies. Shortly before the Human-Covenant War, an assassination attempt on Draco III's president occurred in New Albany's Draco III capitol building|capitol building. While the assassination attempt had failed, transparent energy shielding was installed to protect the presidential balcony.Halo: New Blood, ''pages 22-24'' (Google Play edition)
Draco III was Invasion of Draco III|invaded by the Covenant in 2545.Halo: The Essential Visual Guide, ''page 26'' The Covenant initially assaulted the planet from orbit, destroying a majority of Draco III's defenses. Upon conquering the planet, the Covenant captured and gathered many human survivors, including much of the planet's civilian population, who were then massacred by starving Unggoy and Kig-Yar. The planet was partially glassing|glassed by the Covenant, although most of the world remained intact; the Covenant chose to use the planet as a hunting ground, rather than orbital bombardment|bombard Draco's surface from orbit.Halo: New Blood, ''pages 17-18'' (Google Play edition) After witnessing this massacre via satellite uplink, the SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-IIs destroyed the occupying Covenant forces.Halo: The Fall of Reach, ''pages 184-185'' (2001 edition); ''page 212'' (2010 edition) After the invasion, the planet remained uninhabited for the rest of the Human-Covenant War.Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition), ''page 300'' (2011 edition)
It was eventually resettled by 2554 when New Albany was rebuilt by new colonists. The reclaimed colony was one of the first in the UNSC's renewed effort to re-establish contact with the colonies they had lost contact with or control of over the course of the war. The Office of Naval Intelligence judged that Draco III held strategic importance in this effort.
In 2554, Draco III was the site of insurrectionist activity when the United Rebel Front attempted to Draco III rebellion|invade the planet and declare its independence from the UEG by occupying New Albany, taking hostages, and precipitating a stand-off between themselves and the ruling UEG. The UNSC responded militarily, with the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers of Alpha-Nine under the command of Gunnery Sergeant Edward Buck and a team of SPARTAN-IVs led by Sarah Palmer among the responders. The combined UNSC forces eliminated the majority of URF soldiers throughout the city, cornering the rebels in New Albany's capitol building where they had established a command post. The UNSC succeeded in retaking the building and killing all of the rebels, but at the cost of some soldiers, including Alpha-Nine's Jonathan Doherty|"rookie".Halo: New Blood, ''pages 93-96'' (Google Play edition)
By 2558, the UNSC was offering flights once again to New Albany.Halo 4, multiplayer map, ''Skyline (level)|Skyline''
Government and society New Albany was the capital city of Draco III; the Draco III capitol building|capitol building located in New Albany served as the seat of the Draconian colonial government. Debates were held, and laws were formed and passed in the capitol building's legislature chambers. Draco III's head of stateat least prior to the Covenant attackwas a president; the government of Draco III was presumably a presidential democracy. After the planet was resettled following the Human-Covenant War, few occupied any location outside of New Albany. Though, some settled in remote locations on the planet to start from scratch, while others took control of long-abandoned sites.Halo: New Blood, ''page 101'' (Google Play edition)
Fishing is a popular industry on Draco III, particularly around the city of Karnak. While fish farms filled the Draconians' seafood demand, some fishers sought to capture the native, elusive naeori. Due to the animal's tenaciousness, only shocknets were capable of capturing them. Fishing for naeori and other large native creatures is considered to be the equivalent to Earth's Wikipedia:American frontier|American frontier, where Draconians could feel free from the rest of society.

Battle of Draetheus V
File:HSA Draetheus-V & X50 destroyed.jpg|thumb|250px|Draetheus V and X50 at the moment of the latter's deactivation. In 2554, a Merg Vol's Covenant|faction of the former Covenant attacked the planet, and X50, and Battle of Draetheus V|clashed with the UNSC for the Forerunner relics present there, led by Zealot Merg Vol. Two SPARTAN-IV Program|SPARTAN-IVs, Sarah Palmer and Edward Davis, participated in the campaign. The UNSC was successful in alerting the planet of the remnant's attack, and evacuation began. While Merg Vol's Covenant quickly took control of the moonHalo: Spartan Assault, ''Mission 4: Live to Fight|Live to Fight'', Palmer was holding ground with numerous UNSC Marines|Marine forces on the planet's surface. Palmer helped defend Draetheus V's main military outpost, Faraday Base, against the attacking forces. Although the Marines were taking heavy casualties, they succeeded in defending Faraday and the planet's reactor facilities, largely due to the help of Spartan Palmer.Halo: Spartan Assault, ''Mission 6: Siege of Faraday|Siege of Faraday''
Later in the battle, Merg Vol discovered the true purpose of Draetheus V's moon. It was a Forerunner device that was used to build or destroy planets. Merg Vol's Covenant forces activated the primary weapon of the X50 construct. Directed toward the planet, the beam began to disintegrate Draetheus V, destabilizing it. Spartan Davis managed to stop the device, but it was too late, as Draetheus V had already begun to break up.Halo: Spartan Assault - ''Operation C: Monolith'' Enormous slabs of rock were slowly floating away from the planet's surface and both UNSC and Covenant troops were scrambling to get to safety as the UNSC continued to evacuate the planet.Halo: Spartan Assault, ''Mission 16: Escape from the Southern Fields|Escape from the Southern Fields'' Merg Vol's Covenant continued to attack the planet and the UNSC quickly realized that Draetheus V was ill-prepared for a full evacuation. There was not enough transportation to allow everyone to leave Draetheus V. However, the UNSC raided a Covenant airfield and stole numerous Covenant aircraft. With Palmer's help, 23 Covenant Dextro Xur-pattern Spirit|Spirit dropships carrying civilians made it off the planet.Halo: Spartan Assault, ''Mission 20: Defense of the Enemies' Airbase|Defense of the Enemies' Airbase''
While defending the moon, Davis was killed by an overwhelming amount of Sangheili forces. In order to ensure the safe evacuation of the colonists, Palmer was dispatched to X50 to kill Merg Vol, so he couldn't rally his forces. Palmer succeeded in killing Merg Vol and sabotaging X50 to ensure that no one would ever be able to use it again, allowing the Draetheus V colonists to escape safely.Halo: Spartan Assault, ''Mission 25: Battle for the Moon|Battle for the Moon''
Shortly after the battle, the UNSC discovered a looping transmission of low-frequency static from X50. Palmer and UNSC forces returned to the moon to investigate. However, the UNSC quickly realized that Covenant forces remained on the moon. It was discovered that the disintegration of Draetheus V had caused large chunks of the planet's crust to crash into the moon's surface, revealing parts of a massive Forerunner structure miles wide.Halo: Spartan Assault, ''Mission 28: Superstructure Assault|Superstructure Assault'' After fighting through numerous Covenant soldiers, Palmer discovered that the message had originated from her Spartan compatriot Davis, moments before his death.

''Dragon Tavern'' was a speculative game pitch written up by Bungie game designer Jaime Griesemer, some time after the release of ''Halo 3'' in late 2007. Little is known of the game's premise or intended mechanics, as it never made it out of Griesemer's speculative pitch.
Griesemer worked on the pitch for some time in parallel with Jason Jones, who had recently returned to the studio after his long-term absence during the Development of Halo 3|production of ''Halo 3'' after being persuaded to begin considering ideas for Bungie's next project. Jones and Griesemer worked on their own individual pitches in parallel, sharing ideas with one another. Griesemer felt he needed to get as far away from Halo as possible to have new ideas, so instead of a sci-fi first-person game, ''Dragon Tavern'' was a third-person, multiplayer fantasy game that he described as a "shared-world experience." Players would have adventures with and against other players in a somewhat MMO-ish way out in the world, and when they were done they could retire to their private tavern that they could decorate and invite friends to visit. Griesemer connected with engineer Chris Butcher who had some ideas for how to matchmake players. Jones was working on the next evolution of the first-person shooter. Bungie only had the resources to make one of their games, and as one of the founders of the company, Jones had more clout so his game became the clear favorite. As such, Griesemer joined the pre-production team on Jones' project and made sure that it adopted the good ideas from Dragon Tavern. This game would become Bungie's successor series ''Destiny''.

Dragon X-ray was the codename of a radioman from an unknown United Nations Space Command|UNSC unit stationed on Reach. He provided vital information to another UNSC serviceman, Blue-Delta, during the Fall of Reach.
Biography During the Fall of Reach, Dragon X-ray, radioed in Blue-Delta, who appears to be associated with UNSC High Command|HIGHCOM, for assistance. Blue-Delta warned X-ray that his unit was the only UNSC asset in the area, meaning that any support would take a while to arrive. X-ray was unable to hear Blue-Delta's response due to enemy movement, to which Blue-Delta warned him again. X-ray acknowledged receiving the warning and reported movement again, requesting for support to "soften them up". After being asked for the location of the enemy forces, Dragon X-ray responded and gave him the grid co-ordinates.
Requesting for support again, Blue-Delta told Dragon X-ray that there was no available support in any way apart from the . Dragon X-ray inquired whether the ''Aegis Fate'' was a space-borne or an ocean-borne vessel, to which Blue-Delta answered that the ''Aegis Fate'' was a UNSC frigate|Frigate-designated "Exo-asset". The conversation ended with Dragon X-ray reporting being less than a klick away from the objective, and Blue-Delta wishing him good luck.

}}
The ''Drailaac''-pattern Attack Flyer , more commonly known as the Heretic Banshee, is a variant of the Type-26 Banshee commonly employed in Covenant service as a standard aircraft.
Overview
The Type-26AZ is a specialized "ordained" variant of the . Sesa 'Refumee's heretic faction|Followers of Sesa 'Refumee removed the cowlings from their standard ''Oghal''-pattern Banshees to reveal the glowing blue lights and silver metal of the craft's internal Forerunner-derived mechanisms. They also bestowed upon their Banshees golden-brown colors intended to represent Sanghelios|their homeworld. The Type-26AZ is otherwise nearly identical to standard ''Oghal''-pattern Banshees. These Sangheili would do the same to some of their s, creating the Te'ved-pattern Banshee|''Te'ved''-pattern variant.
Production notes The ''Drailaac''-pattern Banshee is the "heretic" Banshee featured in ''Halo 2'' and the campaign component of ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' - the heretic Banshee seen in the game's multiplayer mode is the . The vehicle behaves identically in-game to the standard Banshee. The design was not given a formal designation difference until a 2015 Halo Waypoint universe entry.
Trivia
In Wikipedia:Celtic mythology|Celtic mythology, a Wikipedia:Banshee|banshee is a female spirit who wails for the death of a particular person before they die. Banshees must steal souls from people to continue their existence. The high-pitched sound made by the Covenant Banshee is a reference to this, especially while performing tight maneuvers making it easy to hear them before one sees them. This also fits the theme of Covenant vehicles, with the exceptions of the Excavators, being named after supernatural entities.

Drain Cleaner is an Achievement in ''Halo Wars'' unlocked when the player kills 20 enemy squads with a continuous Covenant Empire|Covenant Hero Units|Leader Power on Memorial Basin.
It is worth 30 Gamerscore.
Strategies One solution would be to make a 1v1 match. It's best to use the Reinforcements gametype. If you're using any other gametype, you should increase the difficulty so they train more units. Next, pick the Arbiter. The enemy can be anyone you want, since it's a Reinforcements gametype. When the match starts, build a Temple and have the rest of the slots occupied by Warehouses. All you should do now is just keep researching the Arbiter's skills and capturing the bases closest to you. The bases you capture should all have only Warehouses built on them. Once you have all the upgrades for the Arbiter and a fair amount of Warehouses, keep all your reinforcements at your base for protection and uses Arbiter's Rage. You should have a good enough income to keep the rage on for the whole match. Once it's on, just keep running around the map killing everything you can. Remember to not get out of Rage Mode.
Another method to this achievement is much easier and faster. The game should be a 1v1 skirmish match with you using Arbiter, and the A.I. using a UNSC leader set to normal difficulty. For this method to work you must be in deathmatch. The first thing to build is your temple. Fill the rest of the spaces with shield generators in case you are attacked while you are gone. By the time you get the achievement you should only be attacked once or less. As soon as Arbiter is out, send him to the first extra reactor in rage mode. Destroy all the enemies there and continue to the next reactor on the map. Since you are playing on deathmatch, you already start with a ton of resources and an upgraded leader. Destroy all the units located at all of the extra reactors scattered on the map and then head to your enemy's base. If you did this quick enough, he should have only a hand full of units, but that is all you need for this achievement.

Dread Intrusion is the eleventh track (Disc 1 Track 11) included in ''Halo 3: Original Soundtrack'', and plays throughout the ''Halo 3'' campaign level ''Floodgate''. It is composed of ''Dread Intrusion'' (0:00-1:50), ''Black Tide'' (1:50-3:43), and ''Old Friend'' (3:43-5:25).
Overview
''Dread Intrusion'' (1:50) begins with digital chimes and sound effects. Muted percussion enters, leading into a reversed message hidden in the piece, then transitions with digital chimes and sounds. The opening ambiance is played in the beginning of the level, and the reversed message section plays when John-117 and Thel 'Vadam enter the Flood-infested Traxus Factory Complex 09.
''Black Tide'' (1:53) enters with female vocals singing three phrases in eerily. Percussion enters, followed by vocals and low strings in a rearrangement of the second section of ''Ghosts of Reach'' (from ''Halo 2: Original Soundtrack''). This piece plays in the chapter "Shadow of Intent", when John-117 and 'Vadam return to the second lake bed to witness the arrival of Fleet of Retribution and Sangheili soldiers being deployed to combat the Flood. The vocals were invoked in the track ''Once More Unto the Breach'' (from ''The Pillar of Autumn (music)|The Pillar of Autumn'' in ''Halo: Reach Original Soundtrack'').
''Old Friend'' (1:42) enters with eerie ambiance, mixed with various digital chimes. The notes play in no particular melody before they transition softly into high strings. The piece plays when John-117 enters the wreckage of ''Indulgence of Conviction'' in search of Cortana and, as the title alludes, meets 343 Guilty Spark.
Hidden Message Just like ''Destroyer's Invocation'' from ''Mausoleum Suite'', when ''Dread Intrusion'' is played backwards, a voice can be heard. The voice sounds and echoes similar to the Gravemind. It says:
Production notes The name ''Dread Intrusion'' alludes to the arrival of the Flood on Earth. The name ''Black Tide'' may be a reference to the Flood, whose name usually associates with water.

Dream Crusher is a spree medals|medal awarded in ''Halo 3: ODST'' campaign and Firefight (Halo 3: ODST)|Firefight mode and ''Halo: Reach'' multiplayer, campaign and Firefight. In ''Halo 3: ODST'' it is awarded for killing ten opponents in a row with the Gravity hammer (fiction)|Gravity Hammer without dying. In ''Halo: Reach'' the medal does not require kills to be consecutive, just that the player kill ten enemies with the Gravity Hammer without dying.
Unlike other weapon spree medals, you can use both RT and B to get kills towards this medal, and to ultimately save ammo.
It is represented by a bronze five-pointed star with a Gravity Hammer on a green background in the center.
Trivia It should be noted that this medal is exceedingly easy to obtain if you can ambush enemies dropping from a Phantom. Of course, you must obtain a Gravity Hammer from a Chieftain first, as they are not readily available throughout the maps of the Firefight mode. It's also relatively easy when the Black Eye skull is activated.

Dredge is a multiplayer arena map for ''Halo Infinite'' that was added to the game on 2023#August|August 9, 2023 during Season 04: Infection. The map was built entirely in Forge with direct inspiration taken from the ''Halo: Reach'' map Countdown.
Universe and lore Dredge is set within an unidentified underground human facility holding an excavation of a Forerunner structure.
Overview
This map's layout is similar to Countdown's layout, with changes made to refresh gameplay flow. There is no objectFSS-1000 Sabre|Sabre or alikeobstructing the view across the upper floors. The Ventilation area from Countdown was removed; instead, its bottom floor entrance was replaced by a one-way teleporter that moves players from Stargate to an elevated platform overlooking Outside. The central wall separating Outside and Overlook now has an opening, effectively creating a third entrance between the two areas. The West Outside and East Outside areas (the Big Door area in Countdown) are separated by a gap (the Cave), forcing players to jump across to reach the opposing base's entrance; otherwise, they need to detour through the open area Yard on the bottom floor. Two additional columns allow players to jump up from the bottom floor to the bridge connecting the two rooms housing the gravity lift exits. The West and East Nest areas on the third floor are now connected to the main bases, thereby removing the easily-defendable corners on the third floor. The stairs leading up from the bottom floor basement to either bases now lead to the diagonal hallways rather than the back of the bases.
The following are locations on the map that are so named on the player's heads-up display during gameplay:
Outside Overlook Stargate Yard Cave East Tree House East Nest East Cave East Base East Outside East Basement West Tree House West Nest West Cave West Base West Outside West Basement
Production notes Dredge was announced as part of a Halo Waypoint post on 2023#August|August 4, 2023, only five days before release. At the same time, it was revealed that the map would receive a 24/7 playlist upon release.

Drekars are a powerful class of stealth warship commissioned by the Covenant and employed by the Banished.
Overview
Drekars are sleek vessels that combine Covenant technology with Jiralhanae construction methods. They are equipped with stealth systems.
Drekars were commissioned personally by the Prophet of Truth prior to the outset of the Great Schism. They served a place in his plans for the Changing of the Guard|removal of the Sangheili from the core military castes of the Covenant to be replaced by the Jiralhanae, and as such combine the technological advances of the Covenant with Brute construction and design methodologies. Following the onset of the Schism and the collapse of the empire, an unknown number of these ships were nearing the final stages of completion - and in the Post-Covenant War conflicts|years following would slowly fall into the hands of Atriox in a number of clandestine raids launched by the Banished against informant cells and former-Covenant armories.
Drekars fill a role in the Covenant and Banished fleet most analogous to the prowlers employed by the UNSC Navy. Drekars were most notably employed by the Banished in the months leading up to the Battle over Installation 07 - with the stealth ships used to influence the shift of events leading up to the Banished Battle for Zeta Halo|occupation of the Installation 07|ring. How many drekars the Banished operate remains unknown.
Ships of the line
''Hammer of Fate'' - destroyed in the Battle of Netherop (2559)|Battle of Netherop in 2559.
Trivia Like their fellow karves, Drekars are named after a Wikipedia:Longship#Drakkar|type of longship said to be employed by Norse raiders during the Viking Age. The original warships were termed ''drakkar'' or ''dreki'', translating to "dragon" in English.

Dren 'Teconzee was a Sangheili transport architect in the Covenant. 'Teconzee was notable for being the architect of the of the Spectre line of infantry support vehicles, meticulously working to overhaul the vehicle's various systems. 'Teconzee worked with Achoem Weapons on the design, with the organisation owing 'Teconzee for an undocumented favour and thus producing a rapid-fire modification (or ancestor) of the turret to serve as the vehicle's armament.

Drifts Randomly, often simply referred to as Drifts, is a Huragok that served with the Covenant on the Forerunner Dreadnought until the Great Schism. After the Covenant's dissolution at the Battle of Installation 00, Drifts Randomly joined Arbiter Thel 'Vadam's Swords of Sanghelios. In 2555, Drifts participated in Operation: FAR STORM.
Biography
Drifts Randomly was once a member of the Covenant, serving the empire's San'Shyuum Asceticism#Ascetic priests|ascetic priests who searched and examined the Forerunner Dreadnought that resided within the center of High Charity, the Covenant's capital city. After the dissolution of the Covenant at the end of the Human-Covenant War in 2552, the majority of the Huragok either perished or fled. However, Drifts Randomly was one of the few Huragok that remained with the Sangheili and, by 2555, had aligned himself with the Swords of Sanghelios.
Around 2555#March|March 8, 2555, the United Nations Space Command informed the Swords of Sanghelios that the Halo Array's firing sequence had been activated and counting down to fire in five weeks. In response, a joint force of UNSC and Swords of Sanghelios soldiers and scientists were tasked with traveling to Installation 00 to stop the firing sequenceOperation: FAR STORM. Believing that the Portal at Voi|slipspace portal at Voi, Kenya on Earth was the best way to reach the Ark, Arbiter Thel 'Vadam selected Drifts Randomly to be deployed to Earth to help reactivate the portal, as 'Vadam believed that Drifts' prior experience with the Forerunner Dreadnought that opened the same portal would enable him to do so. With Commander N'tho 'Sraom and Usze 'Taham charged with protecting the Huragok, the three were stationed aboard ''Mayhem'' and sent to Earth. Ater arriving, Drifts, 'Sraom, and 'Taham were deployed to Research Center Alpha (Earth)|a research center near the portal, where numerous scientists of the UNSC's Office of Naval Intelligence were already working on reactivating the portal. Meeting with Captain Annabelle Richards who was in command of the UNSC forces in a part of the joint operation, Spartan Operations#Rank structure|Spartan Frank Kodiak brought Drifts and the two Sangheili to the facility, where the Huragok continued the work of the ONI scientists, who now supported Drifts in his efforts to activate the portal.Halo: Hunters in the Dark, ''pages 77-81'' (Google Play edition)
Personality and traits Drifts Randomly communicated with others through Huragok sign language, though Commander N'tho 'Sraom theorized that he would not speak to others even if he could, as Drifts' sole capability was more or less doing what he was told. Drifts rarely chose to initiate conversation with others, instead preferring to speak when spoken to. While working with Forerunner technology, Drifts would often give little information away about what he was doing. When questioned about what he was up to, he would often simply reply: 'Working'. Although his methods were quite opaque, he was happy to comply with the requests of the Humans and Sangheili that accompanied him during Operation: FAR STORM.

The Drive a Dinghy is a trick that can be performed on the ''Halo 3'' multiplayer level, Longshore.
Walkthrough First, the player must get a gun with a large magazine, preferably an M7/Caseless Submachine Gun|SMG. From Forge, the player must then place a dinghy somewhere but not place it in the water yet. They should fill the dinghy with the weapon they chose. They should be set to instantly respawn. They must pick up the dinghy slowly and not spill the weapons in the water and point the engine towards their intended destination. They should quickly get onto the dinghy and shoot/spray 3-4 rounds onto the dinghy. The amount of bullets does not matter. The player should then face the direction of their destination with the engine to their front.
Next, they should melee the engine four times, shoot, then melee again like before, and then shoot it again. They should repeat the cycle until they reach their intended destination. Additionally, the player can place a turret on the back of the dinghy for a friend to operate and kill enemies. To steer the dinghy, they can melee the sides of the engine. To prevent the dinghy from sinking, the player should just shoot or melee it once in a while. All variants of the doors can float. Place it in the water, and after a few seconds it would stop moving. After that has happened, the doors would not sink unless moved by forge monitor. This glitch allows players to create jetty structures on the water. The single box also may be used to create jetties. Most of the scenery objects will float in the water, allowing for levels on the water. Category:Halo 3 tricks and cheats Category:Tricks and cheats

In the campaign and Firefight modes of ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3 ODST'', a glitch allows players to drive an (and a normal in ''Halo 3: ODST'') in any level it appears in. The glitch is a timing-related exploit that allows a player to kill the vehicle's driver and enter the cockpit before the self-destructs.
It is to be noted, however, that the Wraith will self-destruct once you leave it. Avoid leaving the Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter or any UNSC Marine Corps|Marine in the turret; they will die when the vehicle self-destructs, and the deaths will be counted as betrayals.
Explanation Anti-Air Wraiths and, in ''Halo 3: ODST'', normal Wraiths cannot normally be piloted because of a function Bungie attached to the vehicle: when the driver dies or exits, the vehicle self-destructs. This is why killing the driver before completing the glitch prevents it from working, and why the vehicle self-destructs when a player exits the cockpit.
The glitch that allows players to pilot an Anti-Air Wraith is a timing exploit. If a player kills the driver while holding RB, they will enter the vehicle the moment the driver diesand before the vehicle self-destructs. The span of time at which the vehicle is pilot-less will be so brief that the game will fail to notice it, and thus will not destroy the vehicle.
Walkthrough
Find an AA Wraith on any level where one can be Naval boarding|boarded. The Covenant (level)|The Covenant is an excellent level for the purpose. Kill the gunner, if necessary. Stand on the front hatch of the Wraith and melee it off. Weapons like Rocket Launchers or Spartan Lasers with a good melee force will smash open the hatch in one hit without killing the driver.
*On higher difficulties or with the Halo 3 skulls#Tilt|Tilt Halo 3 skulls|skull on, you will probably have to board the Wraith and melee the hatch until it falls off, as a normal melee attack won't even dent the hatch. After the hatch is off, melee the driver to knock his helmet off. Do not kill the driver, or the glitch will fail. If you boarded the Wraith, jump off of it. Jump on top of the Wraith ''without boarding it''. Once you see the pilot's head, crouch and position yourself so you ''do not'' see "Hold RB to board Wraith". Melee the driver's jiralhanae power armor|armor off. After that, ''while holding RB'', kill the driver, preferably with a Head Shot-capable weapon or continuing to melee him to death. Once he dies, you will immediately enter the Wraith.
There are some problem areas with this glitch. In particular, hijacking an Anti-Air Wraith becomes nearly impossible if the Wraith notices the player. If the player manages to jump onto the Wraith without being shot or splattered, the Wraith will continuously drive and back up in a circular motion, attempting to escape. Such erratic movements make it extremely difficult to keep a steady aim at the driver's head, and impossible to position oneself so that the "Hold RB to board Wraith" prompt does not appear. A player can counter this by stopping the vehicle with a Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|Plasma Pistol overcharge or a Power drain|Power Drain.
In cooperative play, two players (''Person A'' and ''Person B'') can cooperate to perform the glitch. On Local play, it does not matter which player acts out which role. On Xbox LIVE|Xbox Live, however, only the Connection Host|host can act as ''Person A''; if a client player acts as ''Person A'', then at best they may end up Destroyed vehicles glitch|"driving" the vehicle after it has exploded. Find an Anti-Air Wraith. Get ''Person B'' to board the Wraith, while ''Person A'' stands at its front or side and holds RB.
''Person B'' should melee the driver and gunner normally. As soon as the driver and gunner are killed, ''Person A'' will immediately enter the vehicle. This method addresses the problem of accidentally boarding the Wraith when trying to drive it. By boarding the Wraith, ''Person B'' prevents ''Person A'' from accidentally doing the same. This guarantees that when ''Person A'' holds RB, they will enter the vehicle and pilot it.
Note that the Wraith will still explode when ''Person A'' exits iteven if another player is manning the turret.
Trivia When piloted, the vehicle uses a temporary reticule that seems to be used for vehicles that lack unique reticles. This same reticule could be seen in several ViDocs and in the ''Halo 3 Beta'', when using locked vehicles like the standard Wraith. It is possible that the Anti-Air Wraith is drivable because it is a modified version of the standard Wraith; it is also possible that Bungie once intended for it to be usable by players, but removed this capability due to the vehicle's immense firepower. Notably, there is an animation that is seen only when the player gets out of the vehicle - the turret being contracted into its compartment. However, if the player starts The Covenant at Rally Point Alpha and gets a loading point (past the Banshees) and goes to Theater, the player will see the two Anti-Air Wraiths spawn with a gunner, but without the driver. The turret will be contracted, and strangely, the Anti-Air Wraith will not explode. If hijacked, the main weapon can be fired at a rate much greater than is seen during normal gameplay; all one needs to do is button-mash on the right trigger. This is most likely because there was no Wikipedia:Cooldown|wait between shots programmed, since it was not intended to be driven. When doing this glitch on higher difficulties, Heroic and Legendary on Halo 3 (all difficulties on Halo 3: ODST), overcharging the type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|plasma pistol will disable the Wraith, causing the Wraith to be still, giving the player a good opportunity to successfully hijack the Wraith. When the player attempts to hijack the Wraith, and the Wraith is not distracted, the Wraith will move erratically, and it is almost impossible to hijack the Wraith. Unlike the Wraith's plasma turret, there is no apparent crosshair for the AA Wraith's turret. Anti-Air Wraiths are quite rare in ''Halo 3: ODST''. In ''ODST'', ''all'' Wraiths, Anti-Air or otherwise, are rigged to explode when the driver dies or exits. This glitch must be performed to drive a Wraith at all (except for the levels Kikowani Station (location)|Kikowani Station and Coastal Highway). Hijacking the standard Wraith in Firefight (Halo 3: ODST)|Firefight makes it far easier to unlock the Vidmaster Challenge: Endure achievement. The Wraith is very vulnerable to Pez'tk-pattern fuel rod gun|Fuel Rod Guns, the Catch skull, and other Wraiths, however. In the Season 2: Spark update for ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'', Anti-Air Wraiths were made spawnable in Forge/Halo 3|Forge mode on the ''Halo 3'' maps Sandbox, Foundry and Avalanche. These Wraiths do not explode when exited. When Halo 3: ODST's Firefight was added to MCC with Series 3: Recon, the Anti-Air Wraith was added to the list of driveable vehicles in custom Firefight, along with the AV-14 Hornet.

Driverless Banshee is a glitches|glitch in the ''Halo 2'' multiplayer level Waterworks. The glitch makes it possible for a pilot-less Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee to fly temporarily, though if done correctly, it can result in being killed by The Guardians.
Requirements Two Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees A M19 SSM Rocket Launcher|Rocket Launcher Waterworks
Walkthrough First, fly the Banshees to the top of the center part of the level, and then fly them through the top of the smashing block when it is up, to avoid getting killed by opposing players.
Next, make utterly sure that they are side by side, with their fronts facing different, angular directions. Hit one Banshee's wing, so it goes under the other Banshee's wing.
Then, get in one Banshee, and then the other, then the other, and so on, continuing to switch Banshees until both Banshees have the lights on their wings lit up. Fly one halfway up the block, still avoiding being squashed. The other Banshee should fly up too. Park the Banshee on top of the block, get out, and quickly hit the Banshee with the Rocket Launcher again.
One Banshee should get launched high up in the air, and the second one will do the same thing. Then, one Banshee should hopefully fly, then lose altitude and eventually fall down to the ground.

Gameplay
Yanme'e Captains are rarely encountered in ''Halo 3: ODST''. In Firefight (Halo 3: ODST)|Firefight, Captains can spawn alongside Yanme'e infantry (consisting of Yanme'e Minor|Minors, Yanme'e Major|Majors and Yanme'e Ultra|Ultras) but do not replace infantry - instead counting as "Yanme'e Leaders" alongside the gold-clad Yanme'e Captain Major|Captain Majors. Captains and Captain Majors spawn in a ratio of 3:1. They are also often equipped with s (or for those individuals serving under the Jiralhanae, Kewu R'shi'k-pattern plasma rifle|Brute plasma rifles), rather than the Type-25 plasma pistol|plasma pistols and Type-33 needler|needlers afforded to lower-ranked individuals.
