Gage Yevgenny was an enlisted UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marine and Orbital Drop Shock Trooper who served throughout the Human-Covenant War. He served with the Colonial Military Authority before it was disbanded in the early 2520s, and like the majority of Human|humanity, was fiercely opposed to the Covenant. After turning on his rogue Helljumper comrades when he succeeded in saving a class of civilian children, he was killed after manually detonating a nuclear device; the resulting blast killed both the criminal Marines and Covenant troops alike.
Biography
Gage Yevgenny was born on the Human outer colony of Harvest in 2506 to a farming family. He lost his mother at a young age and his father raised him alone. He was an angry child and greatly resented helping his father on his farm, stating that it was just "dirt". He seemed to have a strained relationship with his father, often getting into arguments with him.
On January 3, 2524, the hour he turned eighteen, Gage joined the Colonial Military Authority|Colonial Military, wanting to do more with his life. After getting out of boot camp, Gage met Felicia Sanderson and Eric Santiago at the Utgard Utgard Spaceport|Spaceport. The three quickly became friends. They participated in Operation: TREBUCHET on Eridanus II in minor assignments, such as investigating possible Insurrectionist|rebel activity and riot control in Elysium City. After two months, they had made friends with Allison Stark, a D77-TC Pelican|Pelican pilot for the CMA, who often flew them to parties on weekends. One particular weekend, after the four flew a AV-14 Hornet|Hornet to a night club, an Insurrectionist bomb inside of the club detonated. The blast killed Allison, sent Eric into a coma, and heavily injured Gage and Felicia, who were pulled out of the rubble by ODSTs.
While recovering in hospital, Gage, inspired by the ones that saved them, decided to join the ODSTs. Felicia, who had nothing else to lose, decided to join along with him. They were assigned to Rahud's fireteam along with Mason and Kiko. However, after several weeks of hard training, they were informed of the Covenant threat and Harvest's destruction. Felicia fell into horrified shock and screamed at Gage for his disrespect toward the planet.
Felicia was transferred from Gage's squad. Gage lost track of her, and for the next twenty-seven years, he fought hard in the war against the Covenant. He saw his first action in the Battle of Hat Yai. He participated in many vicious battles (such as the Battle of Asmara), and eventually was left the only survivor out of his original squad. He soon stopped making friends after seeing so many die. The war began to take its toll on him after countless crushing defeats, and he became a very serious, hardened man.
During the Battle of Skopje in 2547, Yevgenny and another ODST were rescued from approaching Covenant forces by SPARTAN-II program|a super soldier clad in green armor. The soldier led the survivors to safety while engaging smaller aliens with impunity and meeting Sangheili and Jiralhanae on equal terms. The ODSTs were led to a castle that was being used as the Marines' command center. Yevgenny, awed at the sight of the super-soldier, asked a comrade what he had encountered; he learned that he had been rescued by a SPARTAN-II|Spartan, part of a top-secret project that had recently been unveiled by the Office of Naval Intelligence. Yevgenny became disturbed by the realization that the ODSTs were no longer the most elite fighters of humanity.
While holding up in the castle, he encountered the now Colonel Felicia Sanderson for the first time in over two decades, who had since shed her grief over Harvest. Colonel Sanderson had Gage transferred to the ship she was on, the , and while retreating the planet after another defeat, Felicia showed Gage that Eric had come out of his coma after five years and had become a pilot. The three were delighted to be together again, and already were having talks of retirement.
In 2552#August|August 2552, five years after reuniting with his friends, Gage was involved in an operation to infiltrate a Mount Haven|city under siege by the Covenant, who were looking for Forerunner artifacts. Simultaneously, several former CMA members were performing a clandestine operation to extract a massive supply of gold from a bank. However, after infiltrating the bank, the ODST team discovered a class of school children and their teacher hiding in the underground vault, hoping to survive the planet's inevitable glassing. After loading two Pelicans full of gold, the ODSTs knew there was no room for the children. To deceive the civilians, the troopers claimed that the gold would be used in the UNSC's war effort. Gage, who had seen too many people killed by the Covenant, was in strong favor of postponing the theft to save the civilians. The other ODSTs, who claimed that the children were as good as dead, disagreed, causing an argument. Felicia stepped in, wanting to call in more Pelicans, but the other ODSTs had already raised their weapons at one another. In an instant, Gage was shot in the abdomen, three other squad members were dead, and Felicia was fatally wounded. Gage rushed to her side, but she died in his arms.
Gage, in shock, went outside to find Eric, who informed him that the UNSC were falling back. Gage knocked him out with his gun and contacted the ''Chares'' for more Pelicans, claiming they were under heavy fire. He then flew Eric's Pelican to the pickup point and collected the artifacts the Covenant were looking for, as well as a Shiva-class nuclear missile|Shiva nuclear device, then flew away from the city. Gage believed that the Covenant forces would follow him in pursuit of the relics. As he was being pursued by Covenant Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees, he was "accidentally" shot down by ODSTs who knew of his betrayal.
Gage crashed near the mountains outside the city, and was found mortally wounded by the Jonathan Doherty|Rookie, who had arrived with Gage's reinforcements. Gage, who knew he was dying, told the Rookie his life story, right up until he crashed the Pelican. The Rookie, who had listened intently, promised to remember Gage and do whatever he could against the Covenant. Gage then told the Rookie that Covenant forces and the rogue ODSTs were on their way to the crash site, and warned the Rookie to get as far away as possible, as Gage was going to detonate the Shiva, killing them all. The Rookie ditched most of his gear and ran until he reached the other side of the mountain, at which point Gage detonated the nuclear weapon, killing himself, his renegade teammates, and thousands of Covenant troops. The Rookie, being the only survivor, hailed a Pelican and was informed that Reach had just been attacked, and that the survivors of Mount Haven were retreating to Earth. They escaped as the planet was glassed, but the Rookie would not forget Gage Yevgenny, his long and tragic life, or his sacrifice.Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe, "Dirt"

Gallivant Around The Galaxy is an Achievement in ''Halo Wars'' that is unlocked when the player wins a game on every Skirmish map.
It is worth 25 Gamerscore.
Tips Start at the first map on your list and set the game to a 1v1 Deathmatch against Professor Anders on Easy while playing as Captain Cutter.
Use the warthog you start with to ride up close beside the base (out of firing range) and wait for the MAC Cannon to finish loading.
Once it has loaded move into firing range and use all 4 MAC rounds on the center of the base to destroy it. Deploy ODST squads to eliminate the enemy units.
Repeat for every map you haven't won a battle on until the achievement unlocks.
Start on each map on your list and set the game as described above (1v1 Deathmatch against Professor Anders on Easy while playing as Captain Cutter).
Crank out about 5 Warthogs. As they are fully upgraded with Grenadier and Gauss Cannon, they will be a much faster and more effective way to clean the enemy base.
You can either immediately send your first Warthog to the enemy base, or wait until you have two so that the enemy Warthog will be more easily destroyed.
Repeat for every map you haven't won a battle on until the achievement unlocks.

Gamelpar, meaning "Old Father",Halo: Primordium, ''page 206'' was a human and a member of the Tudejsa, a transplanted human population living on Installation 07 during the Forerunner-Flood war.Halo: Primordium, ''page 25''
Biography Gamelpar was born on Earth and was brought on Installation 07 as an infant by Master Builder Faber's researchers alongside a number of other humans. Due to his origin, he had an "old spirit", a personality impression of one of the prehistoric human civilization|human warriors who had been conquered by the Forerunners in the human-Forerunner wars, imprinted within his genetic material as part of the Librarian's geas. Becoming more prominent after Gamelpar had established a family,Halo: Primordium, ''page 65-66'' the warrior's consciousness revealed a great deal of information about humanity's past to him. The spirit would study the stars each time the Halo was moved to another system, trying to pinpoint their location.Halo: Primordium, ''page 155''
Gamelpar's "best wife" also came from Earth and told him stories of it. At one point in his life on Installation 07, he lived with his family in a newly-constructed city, but the Tudejsa abandoned the city after the Forerunners started abducting more humans for their brutal experiments with the Flood in the "Palace of Pain". After fleeing the city to the nearby plains, Gamelpar witnessed the Primordial and Mendicant Bias observe them and decide who would be taken for experimentation.Halo: Primordium, ''page 67'' Gamelpar was once taken to the Palace of Pain himself, but he was not infected. He survived and was returned to his community; however, he would never speak of what he had experienced.Halo: Primordium, ''page 68''
He was the grandfather of Vinnevra, raising her after her parents had been taken to the Palace of Pain and protecting her from unwanted attention by sexually mature male Tudejsa. Due to this, he was unpopular within the village, and was eventually banished, living in the forest outside of it.Halo: Primordium, ''page 38'' While they could have killed him, the other Tudejsa were afraid of Gamelpar, as he knew the ancient way of ''daowa-maadthu'' and feared that his "spirit" would come to haunt them.Halo: Primordium, ''page 55''
After an Earth human known as Chakas crash-landed on the installation, Vinnevra took him to see Gamelpar, who proceeded to tell the story of his life on the Halo. Afterward, the three decided to follow Vinnevra's geas, which had been roused after Chakas' arrival and was now giving her directions. Observing their destination from a distance, they discovered to their horror that the geas had been leading them to a "Palace of Pain". They turned around and proceeded to move in the opposite direction, eventually arriving at the shores of a large lake, where they came across a human city. Gamelpar and Chakas went to explore the buildings, where they witnessed a proto-Gravemind locked in a Forerunner cage. They promptly left the city and proceeded to cross the lake on a small boat.
Shortly after arriving on the other side of the lake, the three were found by a Lifeworker named Genemender Folder of Fortune, accompanied by several Denisovans, and a Mara|large ape. At this point, Gamelpar was becoming ill due to a sore leg that had not been tended to, and the Denisovans proceeded to carry him on a litter.Halo: Primordium, ''page 170'' They eventually arrived in a human village, and were fed before being sent to sleep. The following night, Gamelpar's condition worsened. Genemender revealed that he and the humans in the village were actually holography|holographic illusions, and that their minds had been Mind transfer|archived to prevent their imprints from falling in the wrong hands. Genemender stated that he should extract Gamelpar's consciousness and his "spirit", lest they be lost forever. Gamelpar strongly refused, wanting to die "free" and asking Chakas to stave off the machines before he had passed away so they could not scan him. In his final moments, Gamelpar said his farewells to Vinnevra while asking Chakas to accompany him alone. Chakas recited ancient prayers to prepare the old man for his passage to the afterlife, while Gamelpar had him promise to take care of Vinnevra, also telling him her true name before dying.Halo: Primordium, ''page 204-207''
Physical features The ethnic group Gamelpar and Vinnevra belonged to was said to most closely resemble the latter-day Wikipedia:Aboriginal Australians|Australian Aborigines.Halo: Primordium, ''page 169'' He had a black skin and square face with a flat, broad nose. By the time Chakas encountered him, his old age was evident in his appearance; he was extremely thin, his limbs were shriveled and his skin wrinkled. He only had a few yellow teeth in his mouth and a fringe of white hair on the top of his head. Chakas described his voice as a "soft, rattling squawk".Halo: Primordium, ''page 57''
Trivia
"Gammel Par" is Danish and Norse for "Old Couple", which is likely the origin of his name and a reference for Gamelpar and his "old spirit". "Gammel Far" literally means Old Father in the same languages.
''Halo: Primordium'' never makes it clear what exactly Gamelpar died of. Throughout the book, he has a sore leg as its referred to several times due to falling and injuring his hip a few days before Chakas met him as mentioned by Vinnevra on page 71. He grows weaker throughout the book due to how much he pushes himself and on page 178, his sore leg is described as being swollen tight at the ankle. Gamelpar most likely developed an infection or some other complication due to how hard he pushed his leg during the journey across Installation 07.

Reach Station Gamma sometimes alternately known as Orbital Station Gamma or simply Gamma Station, was an orbital dockyard used by the United Nations Space Command as part of the UNSC Navy's critical naval infrastructure in the Epsilon Eridani system. The station served as both a critical communications hub and tier-two orbital space dock until its destruction during the Fall of Reach in 2552#August|August 2552.
Overview
Measuring around in diameter, Gamma Station resembled a large ring in shape, with irregularly-placed communications and conduits placed along the exterior grey hull. In normal operation, the station spins, though for unknown reasons, as the station's artificial gravity means that the deck orientation does not require to be facing the exterior surface of the ring through the use of more conventional centripedal force. Following the commencement of the space battle over Reach, John-117 noted that the station was not spinning anymore. The station's use as a vital long-ranged communications link means that it was equipped with extensive communications facilities, allowing it to relay information between Reach and fleets deployed in Human colonies|the colonies, or to other worlds such as Earth. To facilitate the station's operation, it was outfitted with its own artificial intelligence, Doppler.
Due to its use as a tier-two orbital dock, the station was covered in multiple (at least 9) docking bays, each containing a dozen berths divided across two levels. Each of these berths is capable of housing a small spacecraft or shuttle such as a Pelican dropship, private yachts, Office of Naval Intelligence prowlers, and navy scout ships such as the . The ship is held inside its berth by by massive service clamps which prevent the ship from taking off or moving without authorisation.
Alongside the naval dockyards, the station was also equipped with numerous space fighter maintenance hangars. Similarly to those found on refit stations, the fighter maintenance hangar is a fully-pressurised environment, with an exterior airlock and launch tube situated on the outer hull, allowing the station to launch such craft in its defence in combat, or to conduct close air patrols. At the time of the Fall of Reach, the station's air wing included FSS-1000 Sabre|YSS-1000 Sabre fighters.
Transport throughout the massive station was conducted by a tram network, with tram stations situated at notable points of interest across the ring.
Service history For most of its service life, Gamma Station provided long range communications for UNSC fleets and a vital lifeline between Reach and Earth. It also served as a tier-two dockyard for smaller spacecraft such as scout ships and prowlers.
On 2552#August|August 14, 2552, Gamma Station reported several slipspace ruptures emanating from a Covenant invasion fleet sent by the Ministry of Resolution. These vessels emerged from slipspace below the planet's orbital defense grid and began attacking population centers.
On August 30, Gamma Station received a transmission from remote scanning outpost Fermion reporting an unconfirmed in-system Slipstream space|slipspace rupture; this belied the arrival of the Fleet of Particular Justice. Shortly thereafter, three SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-IIs (John-117, Linda-058, and James-005) commandeered a D77-TC Pelican to Reach Station Gamma. An ONI UNSC prowler|prowler, the ''UNSC Circumference|Circumference'', docked in the station failed to delete its navigation database. Covenant intrusion software had detected the unsecured database and three Covenant frigates were sent to secure the data. Those frigates were destroyed by Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC rounds from the planet's s, as well as firepower from the , but not before they dispatched Sangheili Ranger|Elite and Kig-yar Ranger|Jackal rangers to secure the data. Eventually, John-117 was able to destroy the database but Linda-058 was clinically killed and James-005 was lost in the vacuum of space after his thruster pack was damaged in combat. Several UNSC Marine Corps|Marines were onboard the station: Staff Sergeant Avery Johnson and Privates Wallace A. Jenkins|Jenkins, Bisenti, and O'Brien (Reach)|O'Brien. They were evacuated along with the Spartans.
During the battle, the station was severely damaged, with the station ring finally breaking into multiple pieces. However, a few fortified sections remained intact and fully pressurized. Near the end of the battle, a skirmish between a and took place within the vicinity of the station. As the battle worn on, the surviving chunks of the station began to break apart, presenting a navigational hazard for ships continuing to operate in the Reach Defense Coordination Zone. As such, once victory in orbit was secured, the Covenant forces remaining near Reach gathered Gamma Station's wreckage over Reach's northern pole alongside that of the other warships destroyed in the battle.
Production notes The ''Halo: Reach'' multiplayer map ''Condemned'' is set aboard this station. A dramatised depiction of the Spartans' boarding of the station is depicted on this map in the Defiant Map Pack trailer, Defiant to the End.

Gamma-Six was an Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|Orbital Drop Shock Trooper squad that served in the Human-Covenant War.
Squad roster Sergeant Pham - Leader of the squad Lance Corporal Sarah Palmer
History
In 2546, Gamma-Six, under the command of Sergeant Pham, was sent to the town of Belisk on Sargasso during the Covenant's Battle of Sargasso|attack on the planet to protect Lethbridge Industrial's latest military-grade munitions manufactured for the Office of Naval Intelligence. While Gamma-Six protected the facility, ONI tasked another ODST squad, Alpha-Nine with retrieving the facility's research data before the Covenant did.Halo: New Blood, ''page 25'' Unbeknownst to Gamma-Six, ONI had intended for the squad to serve as a mere distraction to allow Alpha-Nine to recover the data. As Alpha-Nine completed their mission and prepared to leave Belisk, the squad's leader, Edward Buck, overheard Lance Corporal Sarah Palmer of Gamma-Six questioning Command about their lack of extraction. Palmer had taken control of the remainder of her squad after Pham's death. Command informed Palmer that the amount of hostiles at her position made extraction infeasible, and ordered for her to retreat to a safer location. As two Type-26 Banshees assaulted her position, Buck ignored his orders and led his squad to rescue Palmer and Gamma-Six. By the time Alpha-Nine arrived, Palmer was the last remaining member of her squad. Together, the ODSTs eliminated the Jiralhanae, Kig-Yar, Unggoy and Banshees assaulting their position and returned to Unidentified UNSC military base|base in a civilian truck.Halo: New Blood, ''pages 38-44''

History
Ganymede was one of many bodies of the Solar System settled by humanity during the early half of the 22nd century. This era would see Ganymede become home to a significant Frieden presence, and was one of several sites involved in the Jovian Moons Campaign of the Interplanetary War. By mid-2169, Ganymede (along with many other Jovian Moons) had been invaded by the UNSC Marine Corps, and Frieden forces destroyed.
The EVA-class Mjolnir was first created and tested at the Low/Zero Gravity Testing Facility on Ganymede.
Government and society Ganymede is famously proud and isolationist, and as such retains troubled relations with its neighbours. The moon is divided into numerous habitat-states including Aigburth - the political chaos of which is regarded as entertaining, if not educational.
Trivia The country Aigburth is a reference to the British TV series ''Red Dwarf''. It is from the name ''The Aigburth Arms'', where the character Lister was found abandoned as a baby. The city Lister is also a reference to the show, Dave Lister being one of the main characters. In the ''Halo: Reach'' live-action short ''Spaceport (Remember Reach)|Spaceport'', Ganymede is a destination listed at the Manassas Spaceport.

Gao battle-jumpers are armored stealth troops of the Gao Republic's Gao Ministry of War|Ministry of War.
Roles and operations Armored stealth troops operating under the Gao Republic's Gao Ministry of War|Ministry of War, Gao battle-jumpers are trained to operate behind enemy lines for months or years at a time with no supervision or support. Battle doctrine calls for a company or platoon of battle-jumpers to deploy and then attack an initial target as a unit, then break into squads and scatter, with each squad locating and attacking its own designated high-value targets. In addition, battle-jumpers are deployed in a variety of other roles.
MV-29 Wyvern aircraft can deploy a relatively large complement of battle-jumpers into engagements via drop lines attached to the crafts.
History Created and developed by General Hector Nyeto, the Gao battle-jumpers were first deployed during the Insurrection when the Gao Republic went to war against United Nations Space Command and Colonial Military Authority forces on Gao. During the Human-Covenant War, the battle-jumpers were rumored to have destroyed a Covenant battle group that was en route to Glassing|glass Gao's surface.
On 2553#July|July 6, 2553, after the Gao Republic Operation: JOVIAN WHISTLE|attacked the UNSC's 717th Xeno-Materials Exploitation Battalion in an effort to forcibly remove the UNSC from the planet, a platoon of battle-jumpers was deployed to the Montero Jungle to intercept Spartan Blue Team to procure Forerunner ancilla Intrepid Eye from the Spartans. Half of the unit was quickly eliminated by the Spartans, though the battle-jumpers continued to pursue despite their mounting casualties. The Spartans took the helmets of several dead battle-jumpers to listen to their orders being transmitted through the helmets. Ultimately, the Spartans killed most of the battle-jumpers sent to engage them and Blue Team was successful in leaving Gao with Intrepid Eye.Halo: Last Light, ''pages 357-359''

The Gao Liberation Force, or GLF, was an insurrectionist group operating primarily around the planet Gao during the Insurrection|eponymous conflict.''Halo: Silent Storm'', Chapter 6
History
During the Insurrection, the GLF worked alongside the Venezian Militia several times due to their planets' proximity.
By 2526, the GLF was still recently-established, and had yet to encounter the UNSC's SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-IIs. Nonetheless, it was one of many rebel groups summoned to a meeting organised by United Rebel Front General Harper Garvin and ''Bellicose'' captain Lyrenne Castilla to discuss the emergence of the Covenant threat and how it may affect the Insurrection. The GLF sent Petora Zoyas as an envoy, hoping to develop a leadership role for the developing Insurrectionist coalition. To do this, Zoyas provided the information she had on the SPARTAN program, noting that the GLF had an inside agent within Task Force Yama. Zoyas proceeded to inform the coalition of Operation: SILENT STORM and the plans to use Biko as a staging ground, later encouraging the coalition to try and make an alliance with the aliens, using them to kill the SPARTAN supersoldiers.
The coalition force set up a base in the Seoba ice quarry|ice quarries on the moon of Seoba, establishing numerous Civet AFVs, hundreds of infantry and M41 Vulcan anti-air guns. Unfortunately for them, the quarry had also been selected for use by Task Force Yama, and the resulting Battle of Seoba|battle saw the foiling of this plan.''Halo: Silent Storm''
Organisation The GLF was controlled by Gao Gao Ministry of Protection clerk Arlo Casille, who ran the organisation from within his cramped office - right under the noses of the Colonial Military Authority.

The Gao Republic, also known as the Republic of Gao, is the government of the human Human colonies|colony world of Gao. Although formally subject to the UNSC's authority, the republic considers itself a sovereign entity.''Halo: Last Light'', page 232 (Google Play edition)
History
The colony on Gao was founded around the time of the mid-25th century, by founding director Ramonda Avelos. Another major figure in the history of the Gao Republic was Constantine Moya, considered the "great unifier" by the populace in the 26th century. The first century of Gao's settlement was tumultuous, though was ultimately prosperous and led to the development of a strong independent streak in the culture of the populace.
During the Insurrection, the Gao Republic and its citizens harboured strong sympathies toward the insurrectionist cause. While officially aligned with the Unified Earth Government|UEG, the Republic was known to secretly aid rebel elements - with the Gao Ministry of Protection|Ministry of Protection's clerk Arlo Casille leading the Gao Liberation Force from his office prior to and around 2526. During this era, the Republic was subject to oversight from the Colonial Military Authority who were unaware of such schemes, and many of the GLF's personnel were even able to infiltrate the ranks of the Office of Naval Intelligence's Prowler corps.
Likely due to these insurrectionist ties, the colony was subject to a Blockade of Gao|blockade during the Insurrection.
Following the end of Operation: SILENT STORM, the UNSC defector Hector Nyeto returned to the Gao Republic for harbour in the planet's jungles, a status beyond the reach of ONI. As the Human-Covenant War progressed, Nyeto took up the rank of General in the Republic's Gao Ministry of War|Ministry of War to fight against the UNSC and CMA directly, eventually coming to serve as one of the Republic's then-fourteen presidents.
In 2553, Minister of Protection Arlo Casille allied with the Keepers of the One Freedom and the Venezian Militia in order to stage a coup and oust the sitting President of the Gao Republic|president, Tejo Aponte. Incumbent in his plans was also a hope that a UNSC battle group at the planet could be provoked into attacking, which might have triggered insurrectionist sympathy on Gao and throughout human-occupied space. Casille successfully was elected president by the Cabinet of Ministers, but his plans to antagonize the UNSC failed.

Gao, known to the Forerunners as Edod, is a remote human Outer Colony in the Cordoba system that survived the Human-Covenant War. While originally under the administration of the Unified Earth Government, the world was a major component of the Insurrection, and gained its independence during the Human-Covenant War. As such, both the people and the Gao Republic|colonial government of Gao maintain a strong sense of national identity and anti-UEG sentiments are commonplace. The planet's Montero region was home to a Montero Cave System|vast cavern system in fact Covert Support Base 4276|an artificial Forerunner construct designed to support the Maginot Line.
Overview
Gao is a lush, jungled planet; viewed from space, the planet is largely mottled green fading to gray at both poles, which are covered by large deserts. Gao's jungles and caverns support a rich ecology with numerous native species (including saurios, frilled salamanders, idjoms, jungaloons, ribbon-snakes, no-shell snails, speckled jungle dragons and glowfish), while the planet's polar barrens are inhabited by great gray apes.

History
During the Insurrection, Gao openly supported the Insurrectionists. At an unknown date, the UNSC Blockade of Gao|blockaded Gao for a year.
During Battle of Netherop|a battle on the planet of Netherop in 2526, the UNSC evacuated many of the Castoffs from the greenhouse world and resttled them on Gao. They would build a small village on the planet called Paraiso.
Following the Human-Covenant War, Gao remained highly independence-minded and sought to strengthen its ties with nearby colonies, such as Venezia, which was only nine light years away rather than the UEG.
File:Halo Last Light cover.jpg|thumb|250px|Veta Lopis and UNSC forces in the Montero Cave System. In 2553#May|May 2553, the UNSC Marine Corps 717th Xeno-Materials Exploitation Battalion protected by Blue Team arrived at the planet to recover a Forerunner ancilla in the Montero Cave System. The UNSC subsequently declared the cave system off-limits to outsiders, but civilians continued to sneak into the caves anyway in search of rumored miracle cures; soon after, an increasing number of these civilians were found brutally murdered. With tensions heightening between Gao's government and the UNSC, Special Inspector Veta Lopis of the Gao Ministry of Protection was assigned with investigating the serial killer on 2553#July|July 2, 2553. Meanwhile, the Insurrectionist-minded Gao politician Arlo Casille allied with the Covenant remnant|ex-Covenant faction known as the Keepers of the One Freedom to prevent the UNSC from gaining control of the Forerunner technology in the caves. Seeking to drive out the UNSC forces without forcing Gao itself into a war, Casille smuggled the Keepers on the planet, where they attacked the UNSC research battalion, resulting in several days of fighting in the Montero region. In the end, the UNSC forces evacuated from the planet with the Forerunner AI, Intrepid Eye, while destroying the Montero Cave System with a HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon. Casille chose to cover up the true source of the nuclear explosion rather than face pressure to enter into a war with the UNSC he doesn't want.
Over the next several months, the vengeful Keeper dokab Castor engaged in extensive piracy against Gao. The desperate Casille made a deal with Dark Moon Enterprises where in exchange for allowing Dark Moon the use of one of Gao's labs, Dark Moon would provoke the UNSC into dealing with the Keeper problem. After the family of murdered admiral Graselyn Tuwa were brought to the lab for experimentation, Casille decided to sanction the experiments rather than admit to the UNSC what was going on and face a possible invasion. After killing the Tuwas and cutting out their organs for Intrepid Eye's bioweapon plot, Dark Moon deposited the bodies on the Keepers' Salvation Base to frame the murders upon them. As planned, the UNSC hit the Keepers hard in Operation: RETRIBUTION, destroying Salvation Base and ninety percent of the forces stationed there. However, Veta Lopis and her Ferret team recovered the bodies and realized that the scene had been staged. Forensic evidence led the Ferrets and Blue Team back to the lab on Gao which had by that point been destroyed by Castor who had learned the location from captured Dark Moon operatives. The Ferrets and Blue Team confronted Casille who realized that Gao had been set up to take the fall the same way the Keepers had. Casille pointed the Ferrets and Blue Team towards Pinnacle Station above Meridian, as the station's AI Sloan|Administrator Sloan had suggested Dark Moon to him and was apparently involved in the setup.
As of 2559, Gao has been described as "''practically in open rebellion again''" against the forces of the Created.
Government and society Gao was an insurrectionist hotbed as early as 2526, with the Gao Liberation Force forming around then. Eventually, the colony would go "free" and form its own government; the Gao Republic, an entity that considered itself sovereign. A second insurrectionist faction named the Committee to Preserve Gao Independence formed in 2553 after the UNSC began occupying parts of the planet.
Trivia The planet may be named after Wikipedia:Gao|a city of the same name in Mali.

Gao battle-jumpers are armored stealth troops of the Gao Republic's Gao Ministry of War|Ministry of War.
Roles and operations Armored stealth troops operating under the Gao Republic's Gao Ministry of War|Ministry of War, Gao battle-jumpers are trained to operate behind enemy lines for months or years at a time with no supervision or support. Battle doctrine calls for a company or platoon of battle-jumpers to deploy and then attack an initial target as a unit, then break into squads and scatter, with each squad locating and attacking its own designated high-value targets. In addition, battle-jumpers are deployed in a variety of other roles.
MV-29 Wyvern aircraft can deploy a relatively large complement of battle-jumpers into engagements via drop lines attached to the crafts.
History Created and developed by General Hector Nyeto, the Gao battle-jumpers were first deployed during the Insurrection when the Gao Republic went to war against United Nations Space Command and Colonial Military Authority forces on Gao. During the Human-Covenant War, the battle-jumpers were rumored to have destroyed a Covenant battle group that was en route to Glassing|glass Gao's surface.
On 2553#July|July 6, 2553, after the Gao Republic Operation: JOVIAN WHISTLE|attacked the UNSC's 717th Xeno-Materials Exploitation Battalion in an effort to forcibly remove the UNSC from the planet, a platoon of battle-jumpers was deployed to the Montero Jungle to intercept Spartan Blue Team to procure Forerunner ancilla Intrepid Eye from the Spartans. Half of the unit was quickly eliminated by the Spartans, though the battle-jumpers continued to pursue despite their mounting casualties. The Spartans took the helmets of several dead battle-jumpers to listen to their orders being transmitted through the helmets. Ultimately, the Spartans killed most of the battle-jumpers sent to engage them and Blue Team was successful in leaving Gao with Intrepid Eye.Halo: Last Light, ''pages 357-359''

File:H2 Gemini Statue.png|thumb|300px|The Garden of Reverent Contemplation The Garden of Reverent Contemplation was a sanctuary within High Charity, the holy city of the Covenant.
History
The chamber was believed to be a place of thought and worship dedicated to the High Prophet of Truth, with a large stone statue of the Hierarch in the center of the room. The intention of the Garden of Reverent Contemplation was quiet solitude in honor of the High Prophet of Truth. The garden was also meant as a refuge for thought and meditation by senior Prelates in the Prophet hierarchy. In its silent halls they could seek the solace of spirituality while contemplating the mysteries of the Forerunners. A large tree taken from an unknown Forerunner location stood at the center of the garden as a symbol to signify life.Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack Manual#Gemini|Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack Manual - Gemini Running around the front of the Garden was a balcony allowing worshipers to gaze down upon the main city and dome of High Charity, with the Keyship ''Anodyne Spirit'' at its center.
During the Fall of High Charity|fall of High Charity in 2552#November|November 2552, data on the Garden of Reverent Contemplation was captured and transmitted to remote nodes by , even after captured by the Flood, in an effort to accumulate as much knowledge as possible on High Charity and the nearby Installation 05 as possible before the ship was completely lost. This captured data would later be used to create a War Games simulation for Spartan supersoldiers to allow them to hone their combat skills with the chamber's impressive symmetry and multiple levels. Like the rest of High Charity, the Gardens fell to the Flood and were eventually destroyed when the vessel crash-landed on Installation 00.Halo 3, campaign level ''The Covenant (level)|The Covenant''

Biography
Gareth Coker was born in Britain|Great Britain and has lived in Los Angeles, Wikipedia:California|California since around 2009. He has been playing games for as long as he can remember, and he even remembers the days of needing to use cassette tapes to load video games. Prior to composing for ''Halo'', Coker's works included ''Wikipedia:Ori and the Blind Forest|Ori and the Blind Forest'', ''Wikipedia:Ori and the Will of the Wisps|Ori and the Will of the Wisps'', ''Wikipedia:Ark: Survival Evolved|Ark: Survival Evolved'', ''Wikipedia:Ruined King: A League of Legends Story|Ruined King: A League of Legends Story'', ''Wikipedia:Immortals Fenyx Rising|Immortals Fenyx Rising'', ''Wikipedia:Darksiders Genesis|Darksiders Genesis'', and several soundtracks for various ''Wikipedia:Minecraft|Minecraft'' expansions.
During the Development of Halo Infinite|development of ''Halo Infinite'', 343 Industries' music supervisor, Joel Yarger, reached out to Gareth Coker via email, asking if he would be interested in joining the project. Yarger referenced several of Coker's tracks that he composed for previous games and explained why he liked them so that Coker would have an idea as to why he was being presented with this new position. After that, Yarger assigned him a scene from ''Halo Infinite'' to write music to. Ultimately, the interviewing process went well and Gareth Coker was brought onto the team.
Something that was discussed early on during Coker's work on ''Halo Infinite'' was the importance of respecting ''Halo''s musical history while also pushing boundaries to take it forward. Another topic that was discussed at length was capturing the essence of what it means to be John-11|Master Chief and delivering that in a musical form to the player while also contextualizing the in-game events. Coker composed his music for the game with the mindset that Master Chief represents a beacon a hope for humanity, making sure to get that point across to the player through the soundtrack.

Gasgira, also nicknamed Skimmers, are a species commanded by The Harbinger during the Battle for Zeta Halo.
Overview
The Gasgira are diminutive, swift creatures that share a number of physiological traits with the Xalanyn, though the lack of information regarding their differences makes it difficult to confirm. They have six limbs, with two arms and four legs. Their hands are tridactyl (three-fingered), and all four of their feet bear one large toe at the front and a smaller toe at the ankle. Much like the Xalanyn, their feet bend backward in a hyperextended position that enables perpetual levitation rather than terrestrial locomotion, so they make use of thrusters made up of unknown, exotic material. They wear armor on their torso, head and thrusters, red for standard variants, white for ultra variants, or maroon for alpha variants, depending on rank. Though most of their features are concealed by their armor, the undersides of their helmets reveal a superficially Xalanyn-like oral anatomy, and the exposed skin of their hands, feet and neck exhibit a bluish tone similar to the Harbinger.
Following the forced release of the Harbinger from her Cylix by the Banished using a prisoner of war: a UNSC combat medic named Lucas Browning, the Gasgira were initially hostile to both Banished and UNSC alike. War Chief Escharum ordered all personnel within the Banished to integrate the Gasgira into their ranks to bolster the Banished alliance with the Harbinger. Some personnel including Commander Dalkura view the Gasgira with vitriol, even nicknaming them "thrustbugs".
During the conflict, Spartan Hudson Griffin|Griffin encounters a group of Gasgira patrolling Installation 07 led by a Skimmer Alpha. His dossier on them would be then relayed to John-117 and the Weapon. The duo would then encounter the Gasgira for the first time when they witness the creatures under the command of the Harbinger harass and eventually kill 117649 Despondent Pyre in extracting her Encephalon. The Gasgira would continue to be under the command of the Harbinger until her demise at the hands of John-117 at the Silent Auditorium (location)|Silent Auditorium. The fate of the Banished alliance with the Gasgira after the Harbinger's demise remains unknown.
Gameplay
The Gasgira make use of weapons from any faction, carrying them from the hip as the weapon hangs below them. The standard variant of the Gasgira primarily carries Sicatt Workshop shock rifle|Sicatt Workshop Shock Rifles or M41 SPNKR|M41SPNKRs while the ultra variant carries VK78 Commandos. All ranks of Gasgira throw Dynamo grenade|Sicatt Workshop Dynamo Grenades. They have weak spots on their head and thrusters/wings. If killed by shooting their wings, they explode in a burst of Hard light.

''Five pods of ODST are deployed from the ''Spirit of Fire''. The logos of 343 Industries and Creative Assembly appear.''
''Landing at the site, Vaughan's unit are ready to scout ahead.''
Quinn: "And THAT makes two hundred drops!"
Vaughan: "I'll bake you a cake when we get back, Quinn. In the meantime, we need a visual on what the Banished are up to."
Quinn: "The enemy operation site is dead ahead, but there's some kind of cloaking field in the way."
''Quinn raises the binoculars and the distance is around 1.8 miles to the destination ahead.''
Vaughan: "To disable that cloaking field, we're going to need more info about what's going on here. ''Spirit of Fire'' says the Banished could be using Forerunner tech to hide their operation down there. Let's go see if they're right."
''At distances of 1.2 miles, there is more Banished activity.''
Vaughan: "Time for a tour, Helljumpers."

Mission Summary
Disable the cloaking field to expose the Banished operation site.
Scouting Report
Vaughan's ODST Troops are armed with EMP ordnance to neutralize Sentinels.
''{In-game cutscene}''
COMMS Officer 1: "Boomerang Company, this is ''Spirit of Fire''. The Captain has authorized India Company to reinforce your team."
Major Vaughan: "Roger that, Spirit of Fire. Move out, Helljumpers, we're going to need those extra guns."
''{Gameplay}''
''ODSTs start to roll out and shortly after their deployment, they spot a Controller Sentinel. Below the hills, a Banished unit engages it upon contact.''
Quinn: "Vaughan, heads up. We've got a new flavor of Sentinel."
Vaughan: "We can expect the same kind of hospitality. Let the Banished handle it for now."
''Advancing ahead, two squads of Banished infantry are attempting to flee from India Company Hellbringers that are pursuing them.''
Vaughan: "We've got hostiles!"
''Trapping the Banished forces and defeating them, the Hellbringers rejoin Boomerang Company.''
India Hellbringers: "India Company here, sir! We spread out on the way down, didn't want to give the Banished too big a target."
Vaughan: "Good call. Keep those flamers ready, you're with us now, Hellbringers."
''Advancing ahead, they encountered a Controller Sentinel pinning down Marines on a Garrison.''
Vaughan: "Friendlies up ahead, they're pinned down by one of those new Sentinels!"
''The unit unsuccessfully tries to attack it from the front instead of its exposed back.''
Vaughan: "It's unshielded in the back, hit it from behind!"
''While engaging the Sentinel, two Wolverines join in and attack it from behind, destroying it.''
India Wolverines: "India Company Wolverines here, ready to lend a hand!"
Vaughan: "Sentinel down. Saddle up, Wolverines, you're coming with us."
''After regrouping, they start to advance again.''
Vaughan: "Keep an eye out for anything that could help us figure out what the Banished are up to."
''While continuing to advance, they find a teleporter and a Banished silo ahead. They destroy the silo while powering up the teleporter.''
Quinn: "Got eyes on a teleporter."
Vaughan: "Looks like the only way forward, start it up."
''Reaching the device, the teleporter starts charging up.''
Quinn: "Teleporter's charging up, Vaughan."
''While powering up the teleporter, a hologram projects a Jiralhanae Warlord giving a speech to the Banished.''
Warlord: "...will answer to Atriox! Next, Colony has new orders for us."
''At one of the sites, several Controller Sentinels are defending it.''
Warlord: "Our Engineers have activated the cloaking field over our operation site using the nearby Control Towers. Our orders are to hold fast and stop the Controller Sentinels from taking back the Control Towers."
''One of the Control Towers controlled by the Banished can be seen.''
Warlord: "The cloaking field must remain activated to keep our operation hidden from the humans. We have reports of possible human activity nearby. They must not breach the cloaking fields."
''A Controller Sentinel is approaching to attack the Hologram.''
Warlord: "Failure will not be tolerated."
Vaughan: "Quick, while it's distracted by the hologram. Hit it from behind!"
''After destroying it, Sunray 1-1 waits for the teleporter to finish powering up.''
Vaughan: "That's one more Controller Sentinel taken care of."
Quinn: "''Spirit of Fire's'' authorized Holo-Decoy packages for us in case we run into more."
Vaughan: "You can count on it, Quinn; we've seen how protective the Sentinels are around here. We're going to need to take those Control Towers to deactivate the cloaking field."
''After a while, the teleporter is activated.''
Vaughan: "Teleporter's active, let's go."
''When teleported down, they spot a Banished base and a Controller Sentinel engaging the Banished troops around the base.''
Quinn: "Controller up ahead."
Vaughan: "It must be protecting a Control Tower nearby. Let's take it down while it's focused on the Banished."
''While the Controller Sentinel destroys the Banished's base, Vaughan and India Company destroy it from behind.''
Vaughan: "Area clear. Let's capture that Control Tower and call in a base drop. The Banished know we're here now, so we're going to need backup."
''While waiting for a Condor to deliver the base, Sunray 1-1 recon the area that has two Control Towers near their base site.''
''Once the base construction has been completed''
Quinn: "We've got our base."
Vaughan: "Let's start building an army. We're going to need it."
''They start capturing one of the Control Towers and once done, one of the sections starts to power up in blue color.''
Quinn: "We've got activity. Scanning now. Pretty clear connection. The Control Towers are providing power for the cloaking field."
Vaughan: "Once we take the rest of the Control Towers we'll be able to shut off the cloaking field and find out what the Banished are hiding from us."
''One of the Controller Sentinels starts heading towards the captured Control Tower.''
Quinn: "You were right, the Controllers don't like us messing with their towers."
Vaughan: "Activate a Holo-Decoy to keep it distracted!
''Deploying the Holo-Decoy, the holograms distract the Controller Sentinel again while Sunray 1-1 and Wolverines destroy it from the rear.''
Quinn: "Vaughan, I'm receiving a faint friendly comms signal."
India Wolverines: "Can anyone receive us? This is India Company, 2nd Wolverines. We're being held by the Banished. I repeat..."
Quinn: "Sounds like India Company still has troops out there. More firepower would come in handy."
Vaughan: "Keep an eye out for them, but we have to make the nodes our priority."
''A Jackrabbit goes to scout ahead and finds Skitterers ahead.''
Quinn: "Vaughan, we've got new Banished units on the field. Some kind of small mech, resembles a Locust."
''Assembling an army, Sunray 1-1 start advancing to capture Control Towers, while Jackrabbits go through Banished units and discover Banished bases northeast and southeast of their position. A Goliath is seen defending it and the Jackrabbits make a hasty retreat.''
Quinn: "Whoa, what the heck is that?"
Vaughan: "Some kind of Hunter. But bigger than any one I've ever seen. We need some anti-infantry, on the double!"
''Near Control Tower B, the Banished are fighting Aggressor Sentinels and UNSC eliminates both of them.''
Quinn: "Whatever the Banished are up to, it's got the Sentinels on high alert."
Vaughan: "It's got to be something major. The Sentinels aren't going to stop until it's over. Be ready for more skirmishes with them."
''Once Control Tower B is captured, a Controller Sentinel heads towards it.''
Quinn: "We've got a Sentinel on the way, weapons ready!"
''Upon approaching the Banished base that was not scouted by Jackrabbits earlier, another Goliath is seen defending it.''
Vaughan: "It's another one of those Hunters, take it down!"
Quinn: "You know, I like my aliens to be a lot less alien!"
''When attacking the base, the UNSC also kills the Goliath defending it.''
Vaughan: "Whatever that was, it's down."
''Upon destroying it, another projector appears and it displays the Warlord once again.''
Warlord: "Humans! I know you're out there, and I know you're listening. I have a message from Colony for you! Your meddling is useless. Cease now, and we will make your death quick. Persist, and your suffering will be long and painful."
Quinn: "Sounds to me like we're on the right track."
''They then hear from an India Company Nightingale and a five-minute countdown is started.''
India Nightingale: "I'm under fire from the enemy, I need backup!"
''The UNSC quickly regroups and goes to the isolated Nightingale. They spot a Controller Sentinel on the way and it remains stationary near the compound.''
Vaughan: "Heads up, we've got a Controller Sentinel in the area."
''Upon reaching the Nightingale, some Banished infantry are engaging it.''
India Nightingale: "Is anyone going to help me out here? I'm a sitting duck!"
Vaughan: "Take out those hostiles!"
''The UNSC then defends Nightingale for a minute while a battle breaks out between Banished and Sentinels between Control Towers C and D.''
''Once the timer is up, the India Company Nightingale is moved to the player's command with bonus three rank veterancy.''
''After rescuing the Nightingale, the UNSC goes to the base that was scouted by the Jackrabbit earlier to destroy it before the Banished takes control of the Control Tower. Upon engaging, Colony finally makes an appearance.''
Colony: "Humans. We will end you. We will bring finality."
Quinn: "What was that?"
Vaughan: "I don't know. And I don't like not knowing. Stay alert."
''Capturing another Control Tower after the Banished's base is destroyed, another Controller Sentinel approaches it.''
Quinn: "We've got a Sentinel on the way, weapons ready!"
''The UNSC starts to capture another Control Tower while searching for Banished stragglers. Once captured, another Controller Sentinel approaches it.''
Quinn: "We've got a Sentinel on the way, weapons ready!"
''After destroying the Sentinel, the UNSC discovers the India Wolverines that are held captive and frees them.''
India Wolverines: "Thanks for the assist. We're yours and ready for payback."
''Advancing further, they spot another Controller Sentinel that was defending the cloaked area.''
Vaughan: "Watch it, team. We've got a Controller Sentinel nearby."
''Once the last Control Tower is captured, the control terminal comes online and the last Controller Sentinel heads towards the last Control Tower.''
Quinn: "The towers are all ours. From the intel we've gathered, it looks like we just need to access one last terminal to shut down the field. I've marked that terminal's location on the map."
Vaughan: "Let's move."
''Approaching the terminal, they start to talk.''
Quinn: "Wait, Vaughan. We've seen the Sentinel response to taking the Control Towers. So, what do you think they'll do when we shut down that field?"
Vaughan: "We don't have a choice, we have to get through there. Let's make sure we've got a large enough force ready to defend when we shut that thing down."
''Activating the terminal, the field is deactivated and a Retriever Sentinel appears on the light bridge behind it.''
Quinn: "Here they come! And they've got a Retriever Sentinel! Think they sent enough of them?"
Vaughan: "Buckle up, Helljumpers. Focus on the Retriever, hit it hard!"
''Sunray 1-1 starts fighting the Retriever Sentinel. When its health reaches 66% percent, the Sentinel calls in a Sentinel Swarm.''
Quinn: "We need to fall back! It's calling in a Sentinel Swarm!"
''The UNSC quickly retreats outside the Sentinel Swarm's range and the Retriever starts being healed.''
Vaughan: "Quinn, the Retriever's being repaired by those drones. Any ideas?"
Quinn: "They seem to be coordinated by the bigger ones! Target the Aggressor Sentinels!"
''Some Aggressor Sentinels approaching the UNSC are destroyed immediately upon contact and the Sentinel Swarm disperses.''
Vaughan: "That's it. Reengage the Retriever, but watch out for the Swarm!"
''The battle resumes, and some Protector Sentinels assist the Retriever. When its health reaches 50%, the Retriever calls in another Swarm.''
Quinn: "Vaughan, it's calling in another Swarm!"
''The UNSC retreats once the Sentinel Swarm arrives. The Aggressor Sentinels also engage Sunray 1-1.''
Quinn: "Okay, here come the Aggressors again!"
''If Sunray 1-1 approaches the Retriever with the Swarm active.''
Vaughan: "The Swarm is coming right at us!"
''Sunray 1-1 quickly defeats the Aggressor Sentinels and the Swarm disperses again.''
Vaughan: "The Retriever's our main target, focus all fire on it!"
''The battle resumes and some Protector Sentinels approach Sunray 1-1 but are quickly defeated. When the Retriever's health reaches 25%, the Sentinel calls in the final Swarm.''
Quinn: "Swarm incoming!"
Vaughan: "We're nearly there, team! One more push!"
''Sunray 1-1 retreats from its range once the Swarm arrives once again.''
Vaughan: "Fall back and watch for those Aggressors!"
''Once the Aggressors are destroyed, the Swarm disperses again and Sunray 1-1 continues engaging it.''
Vaughan: "Weapons free! Disable the Retriever!"
''Once the Retriever has been defeated, the Comms Officer can finally see inside the cloaking field.''
COMMS Officer 2: "We're receiving the feed now. Forerunner. Looks like a...is that a ship? The Banished have taken control of a ship!"
''{In-game cutscene}''
''Several squads of ODSTs, two Scorpion Tanks and a Warthog regroup at the terminal while Sunray 1-1 head to the light bridge.''
Quinn: "That's bad news."
Vaughan: "If they can get the ship off the Ark, they'll be able to call in reinforcements. Then we'll be drowning in Brutes."
''A Hornet flies by while two Wolverines, a Cyclops and two Marines arrive on the scene.''
Quinn: "That's a visual I didn't need. Let's get in there and make sure that doesn't happen."

Strategies
The fully-upgraded Mantis is a well-rounded unit. Build up a large force of Mantises and they can take on various enemy types. Whenever you capture a control tower, a single Controller Sentinel will always go to the tower. However, this will not happen if you choose to destroy the Controller first before capturing the control tower. The Retriever Sentinel in this level possess an energy shield, unlike on the level ''The Halo'', in which the Retriever Sentinel is unshielded. Be mindful of how much its shields has recharged each time. Nightingales play a critical role when fighting the Retriever Sentinel; always bring at least two Nightingales to keep healing your troops. The Grizzly Battalion leader power can deploy three Grizzly tanks that deal heavy damage, but they occupy a large percentage of your population.
A rear attack is the best solution for dealing with Controller Sentinels.
*Have one unit act as distraction and have anti-air units like Wolverines attack from its rear.
*Alternatively, use the holo-decoy to create a horde of your units since Sentinels often prioritize their attacks on the holo-decoys. After teleporting to the first Banished base, send all your troops away from the Controller Sentinel. Instead, only send the ODST hero unit to help the Controller Sentinel with defeating the Banished units. Once the Banished units are destroyed, the Controller Sentinel will destroy the base, which contributes four out of the five required buildings for the optional objective. The same Controller Sentinel may even destroy the Banished sensor tower next to the Tower A as the fifth building. Alternatively, a Controller Sentinel can be led to the Banished minibase near Tower B. Destroy the Banished units between the center area and Tower B, but only weaken the minibase before capturing Tower B, so the Controller Sentinel can easily destroy the minibase while encountering very little Banished resistance. The Controller Sentinels are marked with yellow stars on the minimap. Send multiple units to a nearby location, then send in holo-decoys to the Controller Sentinels. The two Goliaths are located near the two Banished bases, one at each base. The first Banished holo-projector is located at the portal. It must be activated to proceed with the level. The second holo-projector is located at the Banished base north of Control Tower B. The third and final holo-projector is located between Control Tower D and the central terminal. Rescue the Wolverines after having maxed our your population but before activating the central terminal. This will give you a larger force than what would be typically possible to fight the Retriever Sentinel.

Gatherer Sentinels are multipurpose Sentinels designed by the Forerunners with the functions of maintaining ecological stability in constructed biomes and the gathering of various living specimens for Lifeworker activities.Halo: Blood Line, ''Halo: Blood Line Issue 4|Issue 4''
Overview
Gatherer Sentinels consist of a fairly large main body with three red eyes and a holding tank for captured specimens on their backs, filled with a purple liquid. They have eight tentacle-like clawed arms, two much smaller arms, and four legs, although they are usually seen floating through the air. Gatherers are armed with an energy weapon similar to, though more powerful than, the Sentinel Beam, located below the tentacles. Much like the Sentinel Beam, the weapon can be detached and used as a hand-held weapon.
Gatherer Sentinels are typically networked in localized curation zones, with several operating under the guidance of a single monitor. When no such oversight is available, individual Gatherer Sentinels can function autonomously for long periods of time, falling back on underlying classification parameters and archival protocols.
History Gatherer Sentinels have been observed operating from Line Installation 1-4 on an unidentified moon (Sub-sector 35)|unidentified moon.Halo: Blood Line, ''Halo: Blood Line Issue 2|Issue 2'' During the Battle of Line Installation 1-4 in 2552, a group of Gatherers captured Margaret-053, Reff 'Talamee, Jubub and a Mgalekgolo who had all crash-landed on the moon and took them into the depths of the facility for experimentation.

A gatt is a small creature native to Sanghelios. These animals are apparent visitors to Sangheili barns and are possibly a kind of farmland vermin, like insects or rodents. They are known to be trapped and preyed upon by a predatory animal called the terret, which likely serves as a natural deterrent against the gatt.

The GAU-23/AW/Linkless Feed Autocannon is a weapon used by the United Nations Space Command|UNSC UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps, mounted on AV-22 Sparrowhawks, AV-14 Hornets and AC-220 Vulture gunships.
Overview
The GAU/23 is a tri-barreled autocannon found equipped on many UNSC aircraft. It is capable of engaging a number of enemy units of various types, ranging from infantry, to armored vehicles and aircraft. The version mounted on Sparrowhawks can fire the full range of 20mm aircraft ammunition, though the standard loadout is either M718 SAPHEI or PGU-42/B API, with a depleted uranium core.
When mounted on certain variants of the AV-14 Hornet, the GAU/23 is mounted on the craft's chin as a rotary cannon. Two of the weapons can be mounted on the wingtips of the Sparrowhawk, while the AC-220 Vulture can host four wing-mounted guns.
Operational history During the early Human-Covenant War, the GAU/23 was mounted on variants of the AV-22 Sparrowhawk, AV-14 Hornet and AC-220 Vulture gunships employed by the during the Harvest campaign, Battle for Arcadia and Battle of Trove.
Notes There is discrepancy among sources as to the GAU/23's ammunition type. The ''Halo Wars: Official Strategy Guide'' makes note that the GAU/23 fires :Wikipedia:.50 BMG|.50 BMG ammunition, which would make it 12.799mm Armor-Piercing ammo similar to that used by the M41 Vulcan. The later ''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide'' indicates the weapon to fire 30mm ammunition, while a later Halo Waypoint Canon Fodder post focusing on the Sparrowhawk identifies the ammunition type as 20mm. This article assumes the latter source as definitive information.
Additionally, the described properties of the GAU/23 as seen on the Sparrowhawk and Hornet in ''Halo Wars'' do not match the appearance of the weapon used by the Vulture gunship. The former two aircraft use the GAU/23 as a tri-barrelled autocannon for light targets, while the Vulture appears to only have one barrel per weapon firing at a slow rate of fire.
Trivia
''Dirt'' makes mention of a chin-mounted machine gun on a Hornet aircraft, though it is unconfirmed if this is the GAU-23.

The GAU/53 70mm multiple barrel heavy rotary cannon (MBHRC) is an anti-personnel/vehicle, triple-barrelled weapon in service with the United Nations Space Command.
Overview
The GAU/53 is a triple-barrelled rotary cannon, capable of firing a fully-automatic barrage of 70mm ammunition.
Two of these autocannons are mounted below the nose of the D79-TC Pelican and its G79H-TC Pelican|gunship variant, alongside the D81WP Condor. However, unlike the standard class, the Pelican gunship variant is only armed with one mounted autocannon. The autocannons are mounted on a gimble on the Pelicans to allow them to rotate with ease.

Biography
On 2559#December|December 12, 2559, Gavin Jo was aboard the when it was Battle over Installation 07|ambushed by Banished forces upon arrival at Installation 07. As the ''Infinity'' fell to the Banished assault, Jo, along with Erik Bender, was evacuated onboard an RLT-85 Emergency Shuttlepod|RLT-85 shuttlepod. Pursued by a Eklon'Dal Workshop Phantom|Phantom, the shuttlepod landed against a rocky hillside in an area south of the Silent Auditorium (location)|Silent Auditorium, where the Banished deployed three Kywasky Workshop Gorespike cannon|anti-air artilleries. The survivors were attacked by a Banshee as they exited the shuttlepod, but they were rescued by SPARTAN-IV Program|Spartan Nina Kovan, who had just intercepted the pursuing Phantom and then destroyed the vehicle with two rounds fired from her SRS99-S7 AM sniper rifle. Kovan then instructed the survivors to gather the weapons, rations, and supplies from the shuttle; she handed a BR75 battle rifle to Jo. Over the next six days, Jo and other survivors travelled across the region with Spartan Kovan. They eventually rendezvoused with another group of survivors led by Spartan Bonita Stone. Jo and Bender bonded with another non-combatant from Stone's group, Lucas Browning, who was a UNSC Marine Corps|marine Hospital corpsman|combat medic. The combined group became the "boat crew". Led by Stone and Kovan, they travelled to the UNSC stronghold at the wreckage of the ; they arrived on December 19. Jo was assigned to the med bay within the ship's wreckage.
Jo participated in the defense of the ''Reverie'' when the Banished launched Battle of the Mortal Reverie|an assault on the wreckage on 2560#January|January 31, 2560. Along with other members of the boat crew, he was stationed at a medical tent near the secondary barricade. On February 2, as the UNSC defenses fell to the Banished assault, Browning and Gavin Jo were attacked by a Sangheili Enforcer. While Jo was impaled by the Sangheili's Meluth'qelos-pattern energy sword|energy sword, Browning was saved by Spartan Kovan. Browning tried to stabilize Jo's injury, but Jo begged him to leave as more Banished troops approached. Browning reluctantly left Jo lying on the ground, then fled along with other UNSC survivors.
Personality and traits Jo considered himself to be a logical and realistic person, but almost to a fault, as he once admitted to Browning. Despite having performed the duties of a coroner onboard the UNSC ''Infinity'', he was visibly shaken by the blood around him and his own brutality after he had to kill a Kig-Yar with Kovan's M11 combat knife.

The GBU-1105 bomb, nicknamed the "cryo bomb", is an air-dropped weapon in service with the United Nations Space Command armed forces. It makes use of an unconventional payload that when released is capable of freezing a small area and doing great damage to personnel and equipment in its blast radius. It is typically dropped by a B-65 Shortsword bomber.
Description The cryo bomb can freeze even s in their tracks and severely weakens their armor, allowing them to be shattered. Although the cryo bomb may freeze ground units, its best effect is that most air units caught in the blast will freeze and crash into the ground instantly; however, a UNSC AC-220 Vulture can maintain flight but will stay low to the ground until the effect wears off, unless it has taken sufficient damage prior to the cryo bomb's impact, in which case it will be destroyed.2008-04-11, . ''Gamereactor TV''. Accessed on 2008-17-12
Gameplay
If a production building like a UNSC Barracks|Barracks or UNSC Supply Pad|Supply Pad is caught within the cryo bomb's range, the building will cease production for the period of time, or in the Supply Pad's case, incoming supplies will stop. It can be requested only if Ellen Anders is the selected Hero Units|hero unit. The cryo bomb can be enhanced three times from the UNSC Field Armory|Field Armory to make its effect last longer and to increase the number of air units capable of being destroyed. The cryo bomb is best used when a player wants to freeze their opponent's aircraft and uber units. This leader power must be backed up with troops because unless the units are heavily damaged, this attack will not kill them. In campaign mode along with working well against Covenant air units, its highly effective against the Flood too. While a cryo bomb won't kill them, it freezes the Flood in place, opening them up to a brief unimpeded attack before they unfreeze.
In ''Halo Wars 2'' the cryo bomb is a leader power exclusive to Serina. Like its ''Halo Wars'' counterpart the cryo bomb has three upgrades and does not kill units. Unlike its ''Halo Wars'' counterpart it will not cause aircraft to shatter. Instead players must cause extra damage before the enemy unit will shatter.

Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary - ''Terminal 1''}}
''Geas'' (pronounced ''geSH''), also called genesong, was a Forerunner term that referred to a genetic command imposed on an organism or species. Under the influence of a ''geas'', an organism could be given a set of subconscious orders that would either be specific to that organism, or passed on to their children, in some cases lasting several generations. Only highly skilled Forerunner Lifeworkers, such as the Librarian, were capable of creating a ''geas''. Forerunner students of the Mantle also hypothesized that the Precursors may have imposed a ''geas'' on the Forerunners themselves.Halo: Cryptum, ''page 49''
Overview
During her stewardship of Earth and the Erde-Tyrene civilization|remains of humanity, the Librarian imposed a ''geas'' upon various humans at birth; they later recalled the experience as her physically visiting them, but in reality she used an automated imprinting system of Lifeworker beacons to broadcast the geas remotely.Halo: Primordium, ''page 374'' Humans who were part of the Librarian's "special population" on Earth were used as living archives,Halo: Primordium, ''page 45'' with their ''geas'' containing mind transfer|extracted personalities and memories of their ancestors who had fought in the Human-Forerunner wars. These memories required specific triggers in order to awaken within the carrier individual; for example, the ancestral memories of Chakas and Riser surfaced after they traveled to Charum Hakkor, once the heart of the ancient humanity|ancient human empire.Halo: Cryptum, ''page 121''Halo: Cryptum, ''page 341'' Though initially both accessed the memories of multiple ancient warriors, one archived personality emerged dominant over the others.Halo: Primordium, ''page 52'' The other personalities subsequently appeared to go dormant as Chakas could no longer feel them.Halo: Primordium, ''Page 185'' Once active, an archived personality or "essence" could effectively exist as a fully aware consciousness alongside the carrier's own mind, even temporarily take control of their physical body.Halo: Primordium, ''page 226'' The memories of the archived individual often manifested themselves in the carrier's dreams,Halo: Primordium, ''page 128-129'' and encompassed specific knowledge the archived individual may have had on subjects such as physics, engineering and mathematics.Halo: Primordium, ''page 44'' Chakas proved able to access the archived memories once the ''geas'' had been activated inside of himself in order to learn the ancient language used by the Tudejsa. Once Chakas extracted the knowledge he needed, he could understand fluently what the Tudejsa were saying around him, though it took him a little bit to be able to speak the language fluently as his tongue was not used to forming the ancient words.Halo: Primordium, ''pages 21-23''
The ''geas'' she imposed on various humans played a crucial part in the Librarian's elaborate plan to reunite with her husband, the Ur-Didact|Didact. Riser's ancestors were imprinted with a drive to pass the defenses surrounding the Didact's Cryptum in the Djamonkin Crater and create a safe path through the various traps that surrounded it. Riser himself was instructed by his ''geas'' to seek out young Human|ha''manush'' and find them work; this resulted in him meeting and befriending a ha''manune'' known as Chakas.Halo: Cryptum, ''page 55'' Both also began to have dreams of a young Forerunner visiting them in search of treasure,Halo: Primordium, ''page 31-32'' which soon became a reality as a Manipular called Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting, who had been manipulated by Bornstellar's ancilla|an ancilla secretly assigned to him by the Librarian, came to enlist the humans' guidance in finding Precursor relics. Chakas and Riser led the Manipular to the Djamonkin Crater, where the sight of the Didact's Cryptum triggered preprogrammed songs which served as verbal codes to activate the Cryptum.
In 2557, the former Monitor 343 Guilty Spark, who was once Chakas, sought to bring back his friends Riser and Vinnevra by accessing the Domain and having the Librarian use ''geas'' to bring them back in the body of modern humans. During Mission to Mount Kilimanjaro|his encounter with a personality imprint of the Librarian herself beneath Mount Kilimanjaro, Spark was reminded of his own experiences with the imprint of Forthencho and how hard it was upon him. The Librarian refused to apologize for her actions as she felt that they were necessary for the greater good. The Librarian told Spark that his friends were at peace and their gene song quiet. She instead helped him to see the friends that Spark had found amongst the ''Ace of Spades'' crew. Spark later admitted his plan to Rion Forge to access the Domain and use it to bring back his friends as ''geas'' or to join them before he had changed his mind.Halo: Renegades
On Installation 07, the Tudejsa|transplanted human populations were given a ''geas'' through a similar imprinting system. For example, in the event of encountering a strange visitor, humans were programmed to bring such curiosities to Lifeworker outposts for evaluation.Halo: Primordium, ''page 183'' New or altered orders could also be triggered remotely via the beacons that transmitted the signal across the installation. Such an event occurred after the Primordial and Mendicant Bias seized full control of operations on the Halo; all humans born on the installation were given instructions to seek out research stations, known to the humans themselves as "Palace of Pain|Palaces of Pain".Halo: Primordium, ''page 184'' Such a need to travel would manifest itself in many ways, including a seemingly innate knowledge of where to go in the event of trouble,Halo: Primordium, ''page 74'' pleasing mental images of the destination, such as safety, home, food, water, or shelter, as well as a voice in one's head telling them where to go.Halo: Primordium, ''pages 244, 276'' Ignoring the influence of a ''geas'' took remarkable willpower, to the point that resisting it was nearly impossible even with the conscious knowledge that following it may be harmful, as demonstrated by Vinnevra's struggle to avoid her ''geas''-induced urge to travel to a "Palace of Pain".Halo: Primordium, ''page 284''
The Librarian also imposed a broader ''geas'' on the entire human race, which has affected them a great deal throughout their history following the activation of the Halo Array. The ''geas'' includes, among other things, a familiarity with Forerunner technology and control interfaces,Halo: The Flood, ''pages 84, 146, 170''Halo: First Strike, ''page 142'' as well as subconscious instructions on how to gradually achieve more sophisticated technology, including smart AIs and MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor.Halo 4, campaign level ''Reclaimer (level)|Reclaimer'' In addition, as a result of the Librarian's influence on humans, the basic image of what humans view as an ideal female is based upon the Librarian.Halo: Primordium, ''page 375'' Some of the features of the ''geas'' are carefully hidden and will only be activated by the right triggers, such as a latent immunity to the effects of the Composer. On Requiem, a mind transfer|personality imprint of the Librarian activated John-117's Composer immunity in order to allow him to defeat the Ur-Didact|Didact, who planned to enslave all of humanity with the Composer. It was indicated she did more than this, saying she was going to advance his evolution by activating his ''geas'', telling him she had left humanity many gifts, of which the Composer immunity was only one. The Librarian also said that the Master Chief's evolution through this ''geas'' was the result of a "thousand lifetimes of planning," but never got to tell him exactly what she was planning for.
During Mission to Mount Kilimanjaro|her encounter with another personality imprint of the Librarian beneath Mount Kilimanjaro, Rion Forge felt love and loyalty towards the Forerunner but recognized them for what they were: a genetic disposition built into human DNA giving the Librarian a way to be heard, a way to inspire loyalty and a way to nudge her children to fulfil their potential. The Librarian was able to use this to briefly communicate with Rion and possibly the rest of the crew of the ''Ace of Spades'' and warned Rion of the trials ahead, the battles to come, the safe place and the things that needed healing and tending as well as a message to take care of 343 Guilty Spark who the Librarian stated was more fragile and important that Rion could ever know.
After Rion used the Librarian's coordinate key on Installation 07, she began experiencing dreams in which the Librarian showed Rion the truth about what she had found in Path Kethona and her plans for the rebirth of the Precursor race. Rion suspected that this was a story stored in all of humanity that had just needed an activation to come to light which didn't make Rion special, it just meant that she was in the right place at the right time. When the Precept tested Rion before giving her access to Bastion, he scanned her ''geas'' and read the results that it gave him.
Millions of years ago, the Precursors placed ''geas'' on the Librarian's ancestors. These ''geas'' led the Librarian to discover seeds of Precursors during the ''Audacity'' 's expedition to Path Kethona to uncover the origin of the Flood. The Librarian brought these Precursor seeds to Bastion.
Trivia In ''Halo: Cryptum'' and ''Halo: Primordium'', it is noted that most terms and phrases are translated to "localized" analogues in order to be intelligible to the reader. The word Wiktionary:Geas|"geas" comes from a Scottish Welsh corruption of the Old Irish word Wiktionary:Geis#Irish|"geis", which can mean "curse", "spell", or "command", which closely reflects the ''Halo'' universe definition of the term, but was most likely not the original term used by the Forerunners. In ''Rebirth'', the audio epilog to ''Halo: Silentium|Silentium'', Greg Bear pronounces the word as "''ge-ash''", whereas it is pronounced ''"gesh"'' in its native Gaelic. This mispronunciation was carried forward by 343 Guilty Spark in Terminal (Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary)#tabsection-0-0|Terminal One of ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary''. The ''Halo 2 Anniversary Original Soundtrack'' features a track named ''Genesong'', which is a remake of ''Reclaimer (music)|Reclaimer'' and is named after ''geas''.

Gek 'Lhar was a Sangheili Commander (Covenant)|Commander serving in the Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|reformed Covenant. In 2557, Gek became a personal enemy of the crew of the salvage ship ''Ace of Spades'', particularly after an encounter with them in the debris field of Trove shield world. Gek and the salvage crew subsequently worked to hinder each other's efforts over the following months, leading to Gek putting a substantial bounty upon their heads.Halo: Renegades Gek later took part in the Requiem Campaign as Jul 'Mdama's second-in-command where he met his end at the hands of Spartan-IV|Spartan Paul DeMarco.
Biography
Gek 'Lhar was born 2499|October 19, 2499 on the island of Alytcos on Sanghelios. 'Lhar served ruthlessly in the Covenant during the Human-Covenant War up until the Great Schism.
By 2556, he led an unruly group of salvagers. By this time, Gek had also come to work for Jul 'Mdama and Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|his new sect based out of Hesduros. Gek was tasked by Jul with securing weapons and ships for the new Covenant. In January of 2557, Gek and his crew ambushed the salvage crew of Ram Chalva as it was returning from a fortuitous trip to Mesa. Ram was captured and kept as a prisoner on Gek's war-freighter.''Halo: Smoke and Shadow''
After the capture of Chalva, Gek directed his crew to make for the world of Laconia, where a named ''Radiant Perception'' lay untouched since the Human-Covenant War|war due to the rumored presence of many Mgalekgolo still aboard it. Gek's crew arrived at the scene just before the human salvagers of the ''Ace of Spades'' did, who had the aim of finding a certain log buoy that must be on the ship. Gek had readied eight of his Sangheili to explore the downed Covenant vessel but they had still only gathered outside of it by the time the humans arrived and sent two of their own to covertly explore it themselves.''Halo: Smoke and Shadow'', ''Chapter 10'' The two just managed to miss Gek's crew, leaving after the eight finally entered. By then, Gek was well aware of the humans presence and in order to make them reveal themselves, he released Ram Chalva but personally pursued him across the flats, all the while firing shots in his direction. The human captain, Rion Forge, directed her ship to swoop in to collect Chalva and this exposed them to plasma fire from Gek's war freighter. In addition, the Sangheili secured three dropships from the ''Radiant Perception'' and sent these to bear on it as well. The humans managed to rescue Ram and escape the system regardless.''Halo: Smoke and Shadow'', ''Chapter 11''
Gek ordered a pursuit of the human . The war freighter followed it to Arcadia, where it then jumped to slipspace once more based on the record of the log buoy taken from ''Radiant Perception''. The Sangheili followed them in this as well but arrived at the destination-Trove|a debris field in the Korinth Prior systembefore his prey. A large piece of rock with sufficient gravity and an apparent atmosphere formed from still-active Forerunner technology on it drew his attention and he ordered to set down on it, where he then disembarked. Gek hid within the dark interior of an ancient structure and waited for the humans to arrive and come to explore the same site. Rion and an ex-Marine named Cade were ambushed by Gek, who threw Rion against a console while Cade was forced to deal with his underlings outside. Rion eyed a luminary behind Gek that he must have come by either on Laconia or there. She had been holding out for a luminary as well, but her translation software in her earpiece did not give her much hope of trying to make Gek and offer for it, as he was incensed at her very presence within a holy relic. Suddenly, Little Bit|a voice from the console drew his attention, as it had seemed to address the human, making him both awed and furious. He dodged a shot from the human, which pinged off his armor, and missed a swing of his energy sword at her as well. He ordered two of his crew with him to make for the entryway to deal with Cade, but he had enough warning to lay a thermite trap for them. Cade turned to come back where Rion was, however, and before he knew what was happening Gek had turned and plunged his sword into the human's chest. Horrified, Forge jumped on Gek's back and fired her M6 series magnum at his skull at the same time as Gek struck her across the head with his forearm. Her shot only sliced across his left eye, but it blinded him permanently in that eye. Roaring in pain, he slung her over his head and slammed her against a wall. He was going to finish her off, but she readied a grenade threateningly, signaling she was willing to kill the both of them if he approached. At this, Gek opted to leave her as is. He took the luminary and exited the structure, but not before ripping Cade's dog tags from his corpse.''Halo: Smoke and Shadow'', ''Chapter 16''
In 2557#December|December 2557, Gek carried out a Terrorism|terrorist attack on Earth. Fireteam Apollo was warned ahead of time of where Gek would be by Rion Forge who was hoping that the Spartans could stop Gek for good and thus end his bounty upon the ''Ace of Spades'' crew.Halo: Renegades, ''Epilogue'' He was subsequently detained and interrogated at ONI's Midnight Facility; however, he managed to escape in February 2558, killing several of the facility's personnel in the process.
File:Gek with 'Mdama.png|300px|left|thumb|Gek and Jul 'Mdama overlook Galileo Base. During the Requiem Campaign of early 2558, Gek greeted Jul 'Mdama as he arrived at his location in "Librarian's Rest" on Requiem, informing him that they were still preparing "the shrine". Jul then brought Henry Glassman|Doctor Henry Glassman, who had offered his knowledge in exchange for his life.''Spartan Ops'', Catherine|S103 Catherine Gek was later tasked to watch over Dr. Glassman as he tried to work on their Forerunner "shrine". When Jul came to check on his progress, Glassman got frustrated and started to walk toward Jul. Gek quickly pulled his tether to get him to stop.''Spartan Ops'', Didact's Hand|S1E4 Didact's Hand Joining 'Mdama on watching Battle of Galileo Base|the assault on Galileo Base by their Covenant forces, Gek was informed that 'Mdama was only trying to create a show of attempting to recover "the Didact's Gift," making it seem important to the humans.''Spartan Ops'', Memento Mori|S105 Memento Mori
Back at their base of operations at "Librarian's Rest," Glassman managed to somehow activate something in the shrine, prompting all the present Sangheilisave Julto bow to it. Noticing none of the Sangheili were holding his collar now, Glassman fled the antechamber in fear. As Jul tried to touch the artifact's energy sphere, it physically rejected him, prompting the Sangheili Commander to direct his fury at Glassman, who was now gone. Half a dozen of the present Sangheili gave pursuit to the doctor, but Jul held Gek back. After being told Glassman's escape was unacceptable, Gek reassured Jul that he would deal with the matter personally, leaving Jul and his two guards with the artifact. Gek soon found Glassman's discarded collar and decided to activate a remote detonator for Glassman's explosive harness, but SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan Gabriel Thorne managed to pull off the harness in time and toss it toward Glassman's pursuers, killing them all in the explosion. A devastated and angry Gek observed the aftermath and not long after, picked up the trail of Escape from Librarian's Rest|the fleeing humans.''Spartan Ops'', Scattered|S106 Scattered
File:SpartanOpsExpendable - Gek vs Thorne.png|thumb|250px|Gek and Thorne engaged in combat.
Gek tracked Glassman and Thorne to the "Quarry," and managed to catch the duo off guard with his Type-3 active camouflage|active camouflage. After simply throwing Glassman aside, he attempted to kill Thorne with his energy sword but the Spartan succeeded in kicking it out from Gek's hand. After a short close-quarters combat fight with Thorne, the Spartan attempted to smash Gek's head in with a large rock. However, the Sangheili warrior managed to overpower Thorne and smashed the rock over Thorne's chest and head. With Thorne stunned, Gek gained the upper hand and went to retrieve his energy sword. Glassman attempted to aid Thorne by grabbing the sword, but Gek stopped him by crushing the doctor's arm with his boot. Gek was about to execute Thorne with his energy sword when the rest of Fireteam Majestic arrived and Paul DeMarco shot Gek in the back with a burst from his BR85HB battle rifle|battle rifle, killing the Sangheili. Majestic then looted Gek's body, including his energy sword, his active camouflage, the dog tags attached to his armor, and a hologram|holographic map of Requiem.''Spartan Ops'', Expendable|S108 Expendable
In his absence his keep has been scattered to the wind, only surviving in barely recognisable pockets and ravaged by the civil war that has continued across Kaepra for years.
Personality and traits Gek harbored a deep-seated hatred for humanity and Spartans in particular. In early 2557, Gek was blinded in his left eye from a shot fired from an M6 series magnum by Rion Forge, which also left a large scar across his face. Gek was very aggressive and brash, although he was still very loyal to Jul 'Mdama. He was shown to be persistent, pursuing Dr. Henry Glassman and Gabriel Thorne, after they escaped from Librarian's Rest, across a desert on Requiem. After unintentionally killing several allied Sangheili, Gek was saddened by the losses and sought vengeance against those he deemed responsible.
Equipment Gek donned the normal Sangheili Storm combat harness, despite being a Commander. Eleven UNSC dog tags (including one from Cade), were attached to the left side of Gek's harness; these were keepsake|trophies taken from enemies he had killed, including a few Spartans. Gek often forwent wearing a helmet. He armed himself with a and was equipped with a Type-3 active camouflage unit.
Trivia
Gek was originally supposed to have his own subplot in ''Spartan Ops'', but the scenes were cut entirely since it was believed that they did not fit the same format the rest of the episodes followed.

Gekz was a form of currency among the Covenant client species.''Halo: Mortal Dictata'', Chapter 3
Overview
Gekz is a currency used by the Covenant client species during its reign. After the fall of the Covenant Great Schism in 2552 it saw continued use despite the lack of the Covenants treasury checks and minutely detailed systems.''Halo: Mortal Dictata'', Chapter 7
Gekz could be transferred via electronic means,''Halo: Mortal Dictata'', Chapter 5 although small sums were commonly paid in physical tokens following the Covenant's fragmentation.
Gekz is a currency used by the Covenant client species. After the Great Schism in 2552 it saw continued use, and was still used on Suban.
When Sav Fel stole ''Pious Inquisitor'', Avu Med 'Telcam put out a reward of 80,000 gekz for the return of the ship, which the Skirmisher Chol Von accepted. A fifty-gekz chip was enough for Chol Von to bribe an Unggoy caretaker on the Station of Constant Sustenance.

Gemini is a ''Halo 2'' multiplayer map that was included in ''Halo 2'''s Maptacular Pack. Based on the level Duality from Marathon, and is one of the smallest ''Halo 2'' maps.
Summary
Gemini is set in the Garden of Reverent Contemplation in the Covenant holy city of High Charity. Although under control of the Flood parasite, the continued to transmit data to its remote nodes, attempting to accumulate as much information about both Delta Halo and High Charity as possible before the ship's termination. Remote relays captured these details, and one peculiar mass image was a site within High Charity now believed to be the Garden of Reverent Contemplation. This site was believed to be a place of thought and worship dedicated to the High Prophet of Truth. The intention of this place was quiet solitude in honor of the Hierarch, but Spartans currently use Gemini's impressive symmetry and multiple levels to more acutely hone their combat skills. The tree in the garden was taken from a location - possibly a Halo Array|Halo or other place, and symbolizes life.
Gemini is somewhat of an unusual level, as it consists of a closed-quarters outside area and an open inside area. Teleporters can warp players up to two small balconies on the top of the inner area. Another teleporter warps players to the outside and back. There is a wide array of weapons from close ranged Type-25 Brute Shot|Brute Shots and the Type-1 energy sword|energy sword, to Vostu-pattern carbine|carbines and a Sulok-pattern beam rifle|beam rifle. An Overshield can be found in front of the San'Shyuum|Prophet statue.
Another interesting feature is the addition of doors. It is rare to find classic doors in a multiplayer level like this; Gemini is, in fact, the only multiplayer map that features these doors.
The statue of the San'Shyuum in about the middle of the map appears to be of the Prophet of Truth and is near what appears to be a natural tree. Outside, the map features five Covenant Kez'katu-pattern Phantom|Phantom docks and what appears to be another tree. In the background, behind the Phantom docks, you can see the ''Anodyne Spirit'' in the center of the city.
It is possible to get below the level and explore the city.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v2bZnqjHy6WQ

Trivia
Gemini was created as a remake of the level Duality from the ''Marathon'' games made by Bungie before ''Halo''. In bringing the map to ''Halo 2'', Bungie wanted to create a map that was small but would suit ranged gameplay for weapons like the Vostu-pattern carbine|carbine. Objects like doors and cover were placed to help the map from being dominated by snipers. However, as ''Marathon'' never had as long-ranged weapons as ''Halo'', and thus didn't need as much cover. One major difference from Duality is that where the old map had a pond, Gemini has a large tree that players can use as cover.
Gemini is one of the twelve signs of the Zodiac and is represented by twins. Gemini can be spotted in Campaign mode in ''Halo 2''. On the level Gravemind (level)|Gravemind, when you exit the High Council Chamber and get near where Thel 'Vadam was tortured, look to the left, and in between the two giant towers with the eye-shaped purple design, you will see a smaller tower with the exact shape as the Gemini map. There are two spires that appear in the levels Gravemind and High Charity, but the player is unable to destroy their bases or knock them over. This is one of few maps in the ''Halo'' series prior to ''Halo: Reach'' to have blue teleporters instead of green, the other map being Cold Storage. Outside, looking down over the edge of the platform it is possible to get down and run around on the spikes far below.

Genemender Folder of Fortune was a Forerunner Lifeworker who lived during the Forerunner-Flood war.
Biography He was stationed on Installation 07, where he maintained a small station adjoining a human village on a jungle plateau.Halo: Primordium, Chapter 19, ''page 173'' Following the Faber|Master Builder's complete takeover of operations on the ring and the escalation of the civil conflict between Builder Security and the other rates, Genemender camouflaged his station, with a system similar to a dazzler or baffler.Halo: Primordium, Chapter 19, ''pages 174-175'' He also received orders, evidently from the Librarian, with gathering all of the humans from Earth|Erde-Tyrene within his area of jurisdiction and Mind transfer|archiving their personalities so that their genetically imprinted prehistoric human civilization|ancient human essences could not be acquired by the Faber|Master Builder, killing their physical bodies in the process. He also did the same for himself to avoid having to serve the Master Builder, becoming an ancilla stored within a monitor shell.Halo: Primordium, Chapter 19, ''pages 196-197''
In order to refresh the archived personalities and keep company for the ape Mara, Genemender occasionally allowed the humans to appear as hard light projections like himself and simulate physical interaction.Halo: Primordium, Chapter 19, ''pages 194-195'' Among these humans was a small group of Denisovans, including Kirimt. To maintain an illusion of safety for any humans he might find, Genemender continued to appear as a hard light projection of his biological form and did not reveal his true state to them. While the human village surrounding his station gradually deteriorated, Genemender had the wooden structures projected in the appearance of their pristine form via hard light as well.Halo: Primordium, Chapter 19, ''pages 200-201''
After Genemender encountered Chakas, Vinnevra and Gamelpar, he took them in the compound and fed them. The following night, Genemender took Chakas to his station, hidden within the village, and was forced to reveal the truth about the humans in his compound as well as the history of the events on the ring. He then proceeded to extract Chakas' essence in accordance with his instructions, but the human attacked him, only to find that the Lifeworker was also an incorporeal projection. Genemender revealed that as an ancilla, he was bound by protocol and could not force Chakas to relinquish his physical form, only strongly encouraging him to do so. Chakas adamantly refused and returned outside, where he discovered that Gamelpar was dying. Genemender stated that they should salvage the ancient warrior imprint the old man carried, but Gamelpar adamantly refused, instead wanting to die with dignity.Halo: Primordium, Chapter 19, ''pages 204-207''
Shortly afterward, the compound experienced a power outage and the Genemender ancilla powered down along with the other archived personalities and monitors.

The General harness is a series Sangheili harness|armor designs employed by the Sangheili.
Overview
Valiant Prudence harness This variant of the General harness was employed by Sangheili Generals serving in the Fleet of Valiant Prudence during the Fall of Reach. It features enhanced energy shielding and a command helmet.
Post-war harness Following the collapse of the Covenant empire, a number of post-Covenant warlords chose to don overly complex sets of armor - looking to fill the power gap left by the collapse of the empire or to reclaim a far older sense of honor.
Jul 'Mdama's Covenant variant Commonly employed by the Commander (Covenant)|Commanders and Generals serving under Jul 'Mdama's Covenant, this harness design bears notable similarities to the Valiant Prudence variant.
In-game information
The General harness is unlockable as an Armor customization (Halo 3)|armor permutation for Elite characters in ''Halo 3'', exclusively as part of Series 7: Elite. It was one of a number of Sangheili Armor customization (Halo Online)|harnesses intended to appear in ''Halo Online''.

File:Reach E310 Firefight Waterfront02.jpg|thumb|300px|A match of Generator Defense on ''Waterfront''. Generator Defense is a Firefight gametype in ''Halo: Reach''.
Overview
Generator Defense gametypes are playable in Firefight, which include Crashsite, Crashsite LTD and Genny Limited. On the defending team, Spartans fight waves of the Covenant troops, including Unggoy|Grunts, Kig Yar|Jackals, Jiralhanae|Brutes and Mgalekgolo|Hunters being led by player controlled Elites. Players are also able to customize the amount of Generators on the map.
In the ''Halo: Reach Beta'', the original version of the gametype was used to test the Firefight Matchmaking code for the final game. Due to this, it was alternatively referred to as "Network Test One" in-game.
Generator Defense could only be exclusively played on the map ''Overlook'' in ''Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta''. Overall, the gametype is basically an attack-and-defend type of gameplay. There are only two rounds in the gametype; a total of five minutes in each round.
The defending team consists of three SPARTAN Program|Spartans that defend a set of three MEP-PU-2550D/E Generator|generators, while the attacking team consists of three Sangheili|Elites that have to fight their way up to the generators. There are a total of three defense generators on the map which the Spartans have to defend. At the beginning of each match, several weapon caches will be distributed by a GA-TL1 Longsword|Longsword in different locations on the map; each weapon cache can potentially be a M6 Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Rifle|Spartan Laser, a Sniper Rifle System 99 Anti-Materiel|Sniper Rifle, a H-165 FOM|Target Locator (Firefight only), or a M41 Surface-to-Surface Rocket Medium Anti-Vehicle/Assault Weapon|Rocket Launcher. Each weapon cache will be dropped evenly around the map to allow both teams an equal chance of acquiring them. The defending Spartans will be able to lock the generators down -- hence, becoming invulnerable to attacks -- by pressing the action button near one. The lockdown lasts for 30 seconds and will start a cooldown time after the active time period.
Production notes Network Test 1 was actually a test of Firefight capabilities in a co-op setting without letting players actually play these gametypes. This is shown by the fact that Screenshots and Films are described as "Overlook on Easy" or "Overlook on Heroic" as opposed to the usual "Network Test 1 on Overlook". Also, the game is affected by lag much the way a campaign game is strained, not to mention the fact that Overlook appears perfect for Firefight, complete with weapon drops and ammunition. As it was only a Network Test, during the ''Halo: Reach'' Multiplayer Beta, players often confirmed that gameplay was sufficiently 'laggy' and became harder to play online. Bungie fixed this problem when the full game was shipped. Due to the fact that ''Network Test'' was in its early stages of development during ''Beta'', the game mode had a tendency to fail to correctly read the codes for the Spartan models as the player models were usually colored "black and white" or "pink and brown" instead of "Spartan green". When viewed in first-person, the customized Spartan colors are displayed with their correct personalized colors. Shoulder permutations also had a tendency to vanish and/or fail to load their appropriate textures, which resulted in the shoulder permutations being white/silver silhouettes.

File:Halo Reach - Sinoviet generator.jpg|thumb|A SinoViet Heavy Machinery|SinoViet generator on Reach. Generators are devices that use a series of physical and chemical changes to convert energies such as mechanical energy into usable form, most commonly electricity.
Forerunner Though little is known about their operating principles, the Forerunners used generators to power their installations. For example, the phase pulse generators were used to power the firing system of the Halo Array|Halo installations.
Human Humans use generators of varying kind to generate electricity. Some generators, like the PG000E Portable Electricity Generator, burn hydrogen.Halo 2, campaign level, ''Cairo Station'' Nuclear fission and Nuclear fusion|fusion Fusion reactor|power, as well as hydroelectric power plants and wind turbines, are also common forms of power generation. Both UNSC Army and UNSC Air Force|Air Force units utilize air-transportable fusion power generators, like the MEP-PU-2550D/E Generator, to meet their mobile power requirements, particularly in harsh tactical environments where facility-integrated solar panels and wind turbines are insufficient or inappropriate. UNSC Firebases utilise large wind-powered UNSC Generator|generators to meet the needs of their operations.Halo Wars 2
Covenant The Covenant Empire|Covenant use generators of varying kind to power their structures, including ''High Charity''. The most common power source is Pinch fusion reactor|pinch fusion, a more advanced form of the fusion reactors employed by humanity. Smaller Covenant generators expand upon a single plasma battery to multiply its yield, which is transferred and stored in Covenant barrels that are attached to the base. These barrels have seen unattached to the generating bases which are probably transported and used to fuel Covenant vehicles.
The armor plating on these devices prevent tampering or destruction. It is likely that the fuel that the device generates into the detachable and replaceable tops might be plasma-based. This means that they could be used to fuel the systems on Covenant vehicles, such as their weapons, fuel, etc.
Trivia Human-made generators are also a Forge item in ''Halo 3''. They can be placed in certain maps, such as The Pit, and Orbital. The ''Halo: Reach'' gametype Generator Defense centers around protecting human generators. In ''Halo 2'', Covenant generators can be found on Burial MoundsHalo 2: The Official Strategy Guide, ''page 199'' and on Metropolis, near the UNSC Marine Corps|Marine command post.

GENESIS 28 OCTOBER 2558
FORERUNNER INSTALLATION
''Fade in to the surface of the Forerunner planet Genesis. A Slipstream space|slipspace portal opens to let in a Guardian Custode|Guardian, arriving from Sanghelios.''
''Cut to Jameson Locke's point-of-view. He and the rest of Fireteam Osiris are atop the Guardian, and in the distance can see another Guardian over this planet.''
Holly Tanaka: "Is that it?"
Olympia Vale: "Where are we?"
Tanaka: "What the-"
''The Guardian shakes and the Spartans begin to slip and fall.''
Locke: "Activate mag boots!"
''Their boots magnetically adhere to the Guardian, keeping them from falling. They see now that they're standing "sideways", facing down the enormous "slope".''
''(Gameplay'')
Tanaka: "Like standing on the side of a skyscraper. This is bad."
Locke: "We'll be fine."
Tanaka: "Chief's down there, huh?"
Locke: "Let's find out. Spartan Jameson Locke, broadcasting on all UNSC frequencies. John-117|Sierra 117, please respond."
(COM): (''static'')
Edward Buck: "Guardian's moving."
Locke: "Get moving. Reach a low enough altitude where it's safe to jump."
''The Spartans dash down the Guardian, their jumps magnified by gravity. Promethean Crawlers and Armiger Soldier|Soldiers phase in.''
Locke: "Crawlers ahead! Don't stop! Shoot and run!"
''The Spartans do their best to fight the droids and not fall off the Guardian.''
Locke: "Stay in the middle! Watch out for gaps!"
Tanaka: "Didn't come all this way to get killed now! Move faster!"
''The segments of the Guardian tilt and sway, making travel harder.''
Buck: "Like it's trying to shake us off!"
''A massive pulse blasts from the Guardian. The construct shakes and roars.''
Vale: "What's that sound?!"
{''Cutscene''}
''Locke and the Spartans lose their grip as the floor gives way. Locke tries to grab on another floating piece, but they freefall off the Guardian.''
''As they approach the ground, Locke and the others activate their suits' thrusters, slowing them to land.''
{''Gameplay''}
Tanaka: "Did it work? Is this the right place?"
Locke: "Let's try this again. Spartan Jameson Locke to Sierra 117. Please respond."
''The radio breaks with static again.''
Locke: "Chief... Catherine Halsey|Doctor Halsey sent us. We're here to help-"
John (COM): "How the hell are you here?"
Locke: "Long story, sir. Cortana has been activating Forerunner-"
John (COM): "I'm aware. We're at the Gateway."
Cortana (COM): "It's you. The same as Meridian. As Sanghelios. My, you do get around quickly."
Locke: "Cortana?"
Tanaka: "So this is the right place."
''The Spartans pass from their landing site to a Forerunner elevator. A purple light shines inside.''
031 Exuberant Witness|Exuberant Witness: "More humans?"
Vale: "That's a monitor."
''A floating round droid with a purple eye floats down. The Spartans enter the elevator, which descends.''
Exuberant: "Hello. I am 031 Exuberant Witness, monitor of the Genesis installation. Welcome. Have you also come to stop Cortana from claiming the Mantle?"
Locke: "The Mantle?"
Exuberant: "A forced peace upon the galaxy. The threat of death overpowering any celebration of life. Unless you join with the Blue Team|other humans and stop her, it is your future."
Locke: "You've seen the other humans?"
Exuberant: "Oh, yes. Cortana has had them in the Gateway for some time. It is not far from here. I can show you."
Locke: "That would be appreciated."
''Their elevator reaches the bottom. Exuberant floats and opens the door.''
Exuberant (COM): "Accessing your communication systems. Oh, by the way, there are a number of hostile visitors just outside. So I brought you this. I assume it will be of use to you?"
''The monitor teleports in an M820 Scorpion tank.''
Buck: "A Scorpion? Yeah, I reckon we can make use of that."
Exuberant: "I found it among the detritus of Guardian 3209's arrival."
''The Spartans climb aboard the Scorpion and drive down the path ahead. A hostile Karo'wark-pattern Ghost|Ghost and Ghost Ultra attack ahead.''
Exuberant: "The Guardian slipspace bubbles are bringing in a considerable amount of rubbish from their origin planets."
Buck: "Somebody ought to tell these guys they already lost the war."
Tanaka: "They want a fight, let's give 'em one."
''As the tank drives onward, an enormous slipspace portal opens. A Guardian emerges out of it and assembles.''
Buck: "Look up!"
Exuberant: "Why has she called so many? A single Guardian can effectively police a solar system. This show of force is unsettling."
Vale: "I'm sorry, 'police'? 'Show of force'?!"
Exuberant: "Indeed. Guardians are how the Forerunners enforced peace on the lower systems."
''Several Mikpramu-pattern Phantom|Phantoms arrive with the Guardian, which begin deploying troops. Prometheans phase in to attack them.''
Exuberant: "As you can see, Genesis's defenses are targeting the Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|invaders. Unfortunately, the defenses will also consider you invaders as well."
Locke: "It's your installation, can't you tell them to let us through?"
Exuberant: "No. Between Warden Eternal|Warden and Cortana, most of my administration privileges have been revoked. But worry not! I still have control over some aspects of this facility."
''The Spartans drive in, battling numerous hostiles.''
Exuberant: "Warden is going to notice this commotion. Be quick."
''If the tank is badly damaged.''
Exuberant: "Your vehicle is not coping well with the stress of combat."
''If the tank is close to destruction.''
Exuberant: "Please be more careful. That is the only one of those vehicles that exist on Genesis!"
''If the tank is destroyed.''
Exuberant: "Oh no. With the vehicle disabled, you'll have to rely on your MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|combat skin."
''If the Spartans abandon the tank.''
Exuberant: "You wish to take on an army in nothing but that combat skin? How reckless."
''More Prometheans phase in, including high ranked Knight Commander|Knights.''
Exuberant: "Oh my. I never was in combat before. This is rather distressing. And exciting."
''They clear out most of the enemies, though a few remain.''
Exuberant: "You are performing admirably. I think. There's less of them now than there were, which I assume is your objective?"
''The Spartans reach a closed gate blocking the path.''
Tanaka: "Looks like the road ends here."
Locke: "Exuberant."
Exuberant: "One moment. I will open this."
''After a few seconds wait, the door opens up. A vacant Kemu-pattern Wraith|Wraith Ultra is parked nearby, as is a crashed D79-TC Pelican|Pelican.''
Exuberant: "Follow me."
''The tank continues driving up the path.''
Exuberent: "The Gateway is almost ready. Hurry!"
Tanaka: "What is the Gateway?"
Exuberant: "It is a bridge between the Domain and Genesis. Within that building, Cortana will be reborn into the physical world."
''The path leads to a distant hill, atop which can be seen the now-activate Forerunner building, creating a portal into the sky.''
Exuberant: "There! The Gateway."
''Several Wraiths and a D'nomlhe-pattern Banshee|Banshee guard the path.''
Tanaka: "More Covenant."
Locke: "And the Master Chief is there?"
Exuberant: "Cortana has had the other humans wandering in circles within the Gateway for some hours. She is preparing for something. But just what is unknown."
''More Prometheans defenses emerge to fight the Covenant. Locke and the Spartans battle them all.''
Exuberant: "Genesis is really a magnificent planet. It's usually less... busy. Quite lonely, actually. But magnificent!"
''The Scorpion blows up the many Covenant tanks blocking their way.''
Exuberant: "Yes, I can see now why the Warden is troubled by your presence. You are quite destructive."
''The tank continues to push through the enemies.''
Exuberant: "I must admit, I do find this rather exhilarating, in spite of myself."
''The tank nears the end of the path, though enemies are still in the way.''
Exuberant: "You may want to hurry. Cortana is attempting to activate several high-level communication systems."
''The tank continues blowing up its resistance.''
Exuberant: "Humanity has not changed much since ancient humanity|last your kind walked the stars. You are as deadly as ever."
''The path halts at the edge of a cliff, but the ends of an inactive light bridge can be seen.''
Exuberant: "This way, straight ahead."
''The Gateway is on the other side of the chasm.''
Exuberant: "Oh. There's supposed to be a bridge here."
Locke: "Is there another way across?"
Exuberant: "One moment."
''The light bridge activates, allowing them across.''
Exuberant: "There you are. Oh! I can work bridges too, it seems. Most exciting. Come along."
''The Spartans pass over the chasm, reaching a rocky hill.''
Exuberant: "Hurry humans, the Gateway is almost-"
''Portals appear on the hill, bringing in the Warden Eternal and two Z-510 focus turret|Focus Turrets.''
Warden: "Monitor! Why do you aid these humans?!"
Exuberant: "I have bad news, humans. The Warden has found us."
Buck: "We've dealt with him before."
Exuberant: "And you likely will again. He is rather... tenacious."
''The Warden leaps down to engage the Spartans.''
Exuberant: "Warden, why do you aid the ancilla? It is not protocol! It is not right!"
Warden: "This facility's need for you has passed, monitor. The reclamation has begun. Cortana will bring a new dawn to the galaxy."
Exuberant: "Combat is quite exhausting to watch. I am constantly worried you are about to die."
Exuberant: "Oh, humans. Be careful!"
Warden: "My reach exceeds that of the stars themselves! You cannot escape my wrath."
Exuberant: "This is wrong, Warden. The ancilla would not exist without the humans. To refuse them, but not her. It is madness."
''The Warden charges, but is easily defeated by a tank.''
Exuberant: "Fantastic. I am so happy you survived. But still, the Warden is victorious."
Locke: "How so?"
Exuberant: "This late in her plans, every second Cortana gains is a gift."
''The hill is too rocky to let the vehicles easily proceed.''
Exuberant: "I'm afraid your vehicle won't cross this terrain, humans."
''The Spartans proceed on foot.''
''If the player climbs up the right hill.''
Exuberant: "Interesting that humans can survive here where Covenant|the others find it so difficult. Your resilience was always so irritating to the Forerunners. Where they had to craft and plan, you simply... performed."
''The Spartans cross over the hill's boulders.''
Exuberant: "Quickly now! The Gateway is just behind that hill."
''The Spartans reach a crashed Pelican, and an enormous courtyard in front of the Gateway.''
Locke: "117, if you can hear me. We are approaching the Gateway. Hold your position."
''Locke only gets static as a response.''
Locke: "Chief?"
Buck: "Cortana's still blocking the comms?"
Exuberan: "Indeed. But I can assure you that the humans are still in the Gateway."
''As the Spartans walk up the courtyard, enemy portals open. The Warden returns, now with two of him.''
Warden: "I have misjudged you lot! I had mistaken your behavior as tenacity, when it's in fact suicidal ''foolishness''."
''Promethean Knights, Soldiers, and Crawlers arrive to support him.''
Tanaka: "Watch for Armiger Sniper|snipers in the back."
''Despite his attacks, the Spartans continue to move up.''
Warden: "Come. Let us battle our last."
''As they destroy Prometheans, the Warden sends in more to replace them.''
Exuberant: "Humans, watch out. You are surrounded."
Buck: "What'd we do before we had her around to point things out to us?!"
''When one of the Wardens is badly weakened.''
Exuberant: "You've injured him for certain. Keep it up."
''When one of the Wardens is destroyed.''
Exuberant: "You are doing a fantastic job, humans. The Warden is furious."
Locke: "One down! Focus fire on the Warden!"
''The remaining Warden summons two Focus Turrets.''
''When the second Warden is midway damaged.''
Exuberant: "Your fighting skills are impressive. Warden will soon be defeated. At least, these bodies will be defeated. Warden himself... Oh, ignore me. You're doing wonderfully!"
''When the last Warden is almost dead.''
Exuberant: "You've almost done it! Keep fighting!"
''The last Warden body is destroyed.''
Exuberant: "Perfect. The Warden is quite humiliated, I assure you."
Tanaka: "Yeah? A robot can feel humiliation?"
Exuberant: "Oh! Warden is not a robot. I thought you understood that."
''The door at the far end of the courtyard activates, allowing the Spartans to enter.''
Exuberant: "Follow me."
''The Spartans follow her to the Gateway's entrance. Fade to black.''
{''Cutscene''}
''Fade in to Fireteam Osiris, dashing into the Gateway at top speed. Exuberant floats by with them.''
Exuberant: "There! The others!"
''Blue Team is walking around in front of them at a balcony.''
Locke: "Chief!"
''The Spartan-IIs turn and points their guns at Osiris. Locke holsters his rifle and raises his hands.''
Locke: "Chief, please. Wait. Cortana-"
''Blue Team, visibly John, lower their weapons.''
John: "She's dangerous. I know."
Locke: "You don't have to do this alone. We're here to help you."
''The two Spartans watch each other, but look up as a bright light appears above.''
Cortana: "You're too late to do anything."
''The Spartans look up warily as the light above glows brighter.''
John: "Cortana. No!"
''Blue Team suddenly vanishes.''
Exuberant: "Oh no. She should not have brought them so close to her. This will push the Warden past all restraint."
''Fade to black. Level ends.''
Trivia
Ten pieces of Mission Intel can be found on this level. A vacant Ultra Wraith can be found after Exuberant Witness opens the door. The ''Light of Urs'' fuel rod cannon can be found by a ledge after the first bridge and by a dead Grunt with mission intel. The ''Spitfire'' plasma pistol can be found on a ledge nearby a terminal with mission intel, after the vacant Wraith and the first crashed Pelican. Two ''The Answer'' SAWs can be found just before the dual Wardens fight. One is on the left of the entrance by a crashed Pelican, and the other is on the right. On Legendary difficulty only, near the Gateway is a closed door that features the corpse of a Promethean Crawler. If the player Corpse humping|teabags it 117 times, 031 Exuberant Witness will be able to shoot highly-damaging gauss beams, granting her the ability to directly fight. Note that the Crawler must be teabagged in the place where it originally spawned and that the Crawler must stay in the same place in order for the easter egg to work.
The Armiger Soldiers in the run down the Guardian are deliberately weakened to have armor that breaks from a single shot. Should any player lose all of their health during the run down the Guardian, instead of being revivable, they will immediately die. It is possible, through careful maneuvering, to get vehicles into the second Warden boss fight, including the Wraith or Scorpion. Allies will also pilot them if brought to the encounter. If the player dashes to the spot where Exuberant teleports in the Scorpion, they will find the Scorpion is already there but is invisible. Exuberant Witness is invincible and has no weapons, but can catch and deflect grenades and other small explosive projectiles thrown by enemies much like a Promethean Watcher|Watcher. All of the enemy Phaetons can be disabled by an EMP blast, but none can be hijacked. If the player stays on the Guardian for too long, after about 2 minutes and 30 seconds, the Guardian will generate a warning pulse every two minutes before following with a final pulse that kills all members of Fireteam Osiris and causes them to disintegrate.
The checkpoint's name "Call Me Cupid" is a reference to the ''Halo 2'' level Metropolis, during which Avery Johnson|Sergeant Johnson brings a tank while declaring: "If God is love, then you can call me Cupid!"
This level marks Spartan Locke as the only playable character whose COM link icon is not visible in single-player mode.

Genesis, also known as Nomos II and formally designated as Shield World 0111 is a Forerunner shield world, the second planet in the Nomos system, artificially constructed by the Builders. It housed a secret Gateway into the Domain and regularly produced seed worlds under the direction of its monitor, 031 Exuberant Witness.
Overview
File:Genesis39.png|thumb|300px|Lumenon fly over Genesis' surface.
}}
As Linda-058 noted during Blue Team's operations on Genesis, the topography of the planet appeared organic with an artificial flair to it. The plant and rock structures on the planet could be best described as "alien". It is obvious that the planet had been artificially constructed, not naturally evolved, as the world's rock formations have exquisite attention to detail on them.
Genesis is home to a coral-like plant, known as fractal plants, which are abundantly found across the world's surface. Other types of vegetation include paddle grass, fiber optic succulents, aloe husks, floating lotuses, barrens, and warbled fans. To serve its purpose as a Builder refugee world, a variety of animal species were placed on this planet. The lumenon, a common creature found on Builder worlds, lived on Genesis and hunted smaller animals on the surface of Genesis' vast oceans. The logrodites were transported to Genesis to scavenge the world's surface for harmful bacteria and maintain the planet's delicate ecological balance.
Locations Coral highlands
*Gateway
History
Before Great Purification|the firing of the Halo Array, Genesis was constructed by the Forerunner Builders as a shield world and manufacturer of "seed worlds", artificial planets used to house civilizations to ensure their continued existence. Natural satellites placed in orbit around the planet were mined, and new bodies were created using the resources. The planets were then populated with a diverse array of flora and fauna found on the surface of Genesis.
A Gateway (Genesis)|gateway to the Domain was hidden on the surface of the planet, surrounded by dense coral-like structures to mask its existence. This gateway was monitored and rarely utilized by the Forerunners, with most of their civilization not even aware of its existence, instead using passive conduits to connect to the Domain. Monitor 031 Exuberant Witness was installed on Genesis by the Builders to help maintain its systems and the secret gateway to the Domain. When the Halo Array was activated, the gateway closed and the Domain was believed to be destroyed. With the Halos' firing, Exuberant Witness was given charge of the entire installation and she halted Genesis' normal production of seed worlds. Genesis entered a dormant state and very little happened on the world for the following one hundred thousand years.

In 2557, after the destruction of the Ur-Didact's ship, ''Mantle's Approach'', at the hands of John-117 and the smart AI Cortana, the ship and Cortana were pulled into slipstream space as a last ditch effort for the ship to escape destruction. Unbeknownst to John and the rest of the United Nations Space Command, Cortana had been uploaded into the Domain and "cured" of her rampancy. While in the Domain, Cortana came to the conclusion that the Mantle of Responsibility was meant to be claimed by herself and other artificial intelligences, not humanity, as the Librarian had originally intended. Once uploaded on Genesis, Cortana seized control of the world from Exuberant Witness, with the help of the Warden Eternal. Once in control, Cortana began activating the Guardians across the galaxy, calling them to Genesis to rally before dispersing them to populated worlds as a means to enforce the Mantle and her rule upon all races.
Brought aboard a Guardian from Meridian upon Cortana's request, John and the rest of Blue Team soon arrived at Genesis in the coral highlands. While Cortana wanted Blue Team by her side, the Warden Eternal disagreed and sent many Prometheans to Battle of Genesis|battle the SPARTAN-II program|Spartans who were also forced to fight Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant forces inadvertently brought to the planet by Guardians. Meanwhile, SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IV Fireteam Osiris arrived at Genesis aboard a Guardian from Sanghelios, seeking to stop Cortana and find Blue Team. With the help of Exuberant Witness, Osiris was able to fight their way past numerous Promethean forces and located Blue Team at the Gateway. However, Cortana Slipspace translocation|teleported Blue Team to her location and, after the Spartans refused to aid her, imprisoned them within a Cryptum. Using her link to the Domain, Cortana was able to disperse her Guardians upon the galaxy, taking control of the majority of charted space in the process and Created|aligning many AIs with her and the Warden. However, due to the actions of Osiris, Exuberant Witness was able to retake control of Genesis and free Blue Team. Fireteam Osiris and Blue Team were eventually able to reach India 127|a Pelican pulled to Genesis by a Guardian and used a slipspace portal opened by Exuberant Witness to return to Sanghelios in the vessel.
Production notes
The term genesis refers to the mode of formation of an object, referencing Genesis' function for the Forerunners. For ''Halo 5: Guardians'', 343 Industries sought to create an original alien planet that felt "''like the logical manifestation of the Forerunner lore''" with a lush alien environment composed of geometric patterns that are reflected in the gleaming architecture; the result was Genesis. To get creative inspiration, members of 343i's art team traveled to Wikipedia:Iceland|Iceland for a week of reference gathering. Genesis' final design was very different from its original conception, but the world did retain many influences from Iceland, including the country's waterfalls.

The Genet is a popular high-volume coupe manufactured by HuCiv.
Overview
The Genet is a compact, high-volume coupe, with several model trims ranging from eco-accessible, to track-ready. Like nearly all cars used in New Mombasa and elsewhere on Earth, the Genet includes roadware that allows the car to pilot itself while driving and keeps the car connected to the planet's surveillance grid.
1500XLD: This model comes in several colors. Some of which are red, blue, and green.
1500XLD-S: This model is utilized by the New Mombasa Police Department. This variant is slightly larger than the 1500XLD.
File:H3ODST-NMPDGenetCar.png|The NMPD Genet.
On April 6 2525, the Genet was advertised on Intersystem News.''Dr. Halsey's personal journal'', Intersystem News: Bliss Decimated
The vehicle was the most popular personal transport in New Mombasa for three years preceding 2550.''Halo 3: ODST'', campaign level, Mombasa Streets
A number of municipal law enforcement agencies have contracted HuCiv to provide durable high-performance police interceptors based off of the Genet, including the New Mombasa Police Department.
Gameplay
Multiple types of Genets are seen abandoned on the streets throughout the campaign. The lights of the NMPD Genets in Mombasa Streets will flash to indicate points of interest, to indicate Audio log (Halo 3: ODST)|Audio Logs close by, for instance. Every Genet in the game has the same number on the left side of its side windows: 1031. Additionally, one Genet was seen at least partially destroyed due to passenger compartment damage, but lights were still functioning.
In ''Halo: Spartan Strike'', the Genet appears on the streets of New Mombasa. The vehicle can be destroyed by using a Grizzly to run over it. This, however, will damage you due to the explosion that occurs when it is destroyed.
Trivia Like many human vehicles, particularly those used by the United Nations Space Command|UNSC, the Genet is named after an animal. A Wikipedia:Genet (animal)|genet is a small cat-like carnivore native to Africa. The license plate Easter eggs|license plates in the vehicles throughout the city contain multiple references to the characters of the series in Halo 3: ODST.
