More likely to prevent flood from stealing a ship and heading off to another planet

Midnight mission:

 

The Fake Sun is annoying us, what do?

 

Black it out? Destroy it? Eclipse?

 

Cortana: Deactivate it? That makes no sense, let's not blow it up either. BLOCK IT.

 

They obscure the sun with whatever secret function.

 

But oh no! Didact, we don't want him out! Eclipse get out then leave him behind. Simple as that?

 

God I hope so, but things get worse eh.

Maybe it's a energy drainage barrier used to defend them from attacking ships. Kind of like a planet wide energy drain.

Actually forget my theory, to get "Midnight launch" you need to catch big air at exactly 12:00 at night...
