Six months later, the Infinity returned to Requiem in order to establish research facilities to study the installation, facing both the local Prometheans and Jul's Covenant forces which still occupied the structure. The Infinity escaped from the shield world, and despite the best efforts of the Master Chief and Cortana, the Didact escaped as well to go after the Composer, chased by the two in a Lich.

The humans battled their way through the world, destroying its gravity well generator so the Infinity could escape. Inside, they encountered hostile Promethean forces that occupied the structure, and unwittingly released the Didact. On July 21, 2557, the severed aft section of the Charon-class light frigate UNSC Forward Unto Dawn, containing John-117 and Cortana, drifted near Requiem and were forcibly pulled inside an automated entrance portal on its surface, along with a number of ships from a Covenant remnant fleet and later, the prototype starship UNSC Infinity. The UNSC Forward Unto Dawn entering Requiem via an access portal. The Librarian then departed Requiem and sealed the shield world off for the next 100,000 years. The Librarian uploaded a personality impression of herself within Requiem's systems, placing the Janus Key in the possession of this imprint. Īfter the Ur-Didact used the Composer to enslave Omega Halo's human population to use them to create more of his Knight constructs, the Librarian imprisoned the Didact in a Cryptum in the core of the shield world to stop him. Despite his grand plans, relatively few of his Warriors joined him: in addition to the Didact's flagship, Mantle's Approach, only one Fortress-class vessel, several dreadnoughts and scrapped Builder vessels were present at Requiem during the endgame of the war. To this end, the Didact used the Composer to convert his loyal Warrior-Servants into powerful robotic Knights. In his vision, Requiem was to serve as a core of a new era of prosperity and power to the Forerunners through the defeat of the Flood and the subjugation of all their enemies. Upon his recovery from the clutches of the Gravemind near the end of the conflict with the Flood, the now mentally unstable Ur-Didact returned and reassumed control of Requiem. Requiem was a central hub for all Forerunner forces and war efforts for thousands of years, from the conflict with ancient humanity to the end of the Forerunner-Flood war. As with the shield worlds which would follow, Requiem's true capabilities were kept as secret as possible from the other rates although its components were constructed by the Builders, the process was compartmentalized in a way that only the Prometheans would be fully informed of its ultimate configuration. The Didact and the Librarian in Requiem's war room.īuilt as the template for the Didact's shield world defensive strategy, Requiem was constructed long before the human-Forerunner wars to serve as a fortress world for the Warrior-Servants' Promethean class. Requiem itself was destroyed at the conclusion of this campaign by Jul 'Mdama. The UNSC Infinity returned to Requiem in early 2558, resulting in a protracted battle between the UNSC and the occupying Promethean-Jul's Covenant alliance. It remained sealed off for a hundred millennia since the end of the war, and became the site of major events as UNSC and Jul 'Mdama's Covenant forces stumbled upon it in 2557. It once served as the central base of operations for the Prometheans, an elite class of Warrior-Servants, for thousands of years until the end of the Forerunner-Flood war.
Requiem, formally designated by its Forerunner creators as Shield World 0001, was a Forerunner shield world located in the Epoloch system. And yet, this enormous construct, nothing less than a completely artificial world, this bastion designed for endless war, still impresses in a way that a Halo cannot." - The Librarian reflects on Requiem near the close of the Flood conflict A dream we had both shared is little more than a repository for a Promethean long since chewed up and cast aside by history, by force of his enemies, human and Forerunner-and by the dire influence of the Flood. " The scale and brilliance of the Didact's strategic plan now appears more like the tomb of all hope-certainly of all my hopes.
