The Citadel was a large structure, one end of which was suspended over the void of the Ark's core. After having been badly damaged in the firing of Installation 08 and then briefly used by 000 Tragic Solitude, it was destroyed as the Ark repaired itself. The Citadel is a part of the Clarion network, a series of facilities from which the Halo Array can be controlled by a Reclaimer. They used it as their new stronghold while making their last stand against humanity and the Sangheili before falling. Millennia after its usage by the Forerunners, the abandoned structure was occupied by the High Prophet of Truth's Covenant. Although of Builder design and construction like the rest of the Ark, the Citadel was considered a highly impressive command facility by Warrior-Servant standards. It was located on the rim of the core of the Ark, and was defended by multiple shield-projecting barrier towers that had to be disengaged before the Citadel could be accessed. The Citadel was one of several Clarion facilities located on Installation 00 where the entire Halo Array could be controlled and activated remotely by means of a superluminal communications system.
