Halo: First Strike/Ascendant Justice (Level)

Overview
"Ascendant Justice" is the sixth level in the fanon game Halo: First Strike. The mission bears similarities to the levels Truth and Reconciliation and Data Hive, where the player(s) must protect an ally. Also like Data Hive, the player does not have shields, but rely more on stamina and the overshields generated by the Engineer.

Plot
The Ascendant Justice has finally been taken, and the Covenant are doing everything they can to kill the small human force and re-take the Control Centre. As the Master Chief tries to stop their sabotage, Cortana is holding the Covenant cruisers at bay until they can enter Slipspace and finally return to UNSC-controlled space.
