[[Covenant remnants|Remnant]] factions of the former Covenant wage war across the [[Milky Way galaxy]] even in the years following the [[Treaty of 2552]]. Many of these genocidal factions continued to follow Covenant wartime doctrine of glassing conquered human worlds. One such colony, [[Cleyell]], was attacked in 2556 by a remnant faction which glassed the planet in an artistic fashion, burning a myriad of glyphs on its surface. UNSC forces that arrived on-scene determined that a single city on Cleyell's surface remained intact despite the furious plasma bombardment of the colony. Then a sergeant in the Army, Holly Tanaka was brought aboard {{UNSCShip|Cascadia}}, one ship to arrive in orbit shortly after Cleyell's glassing, to lend her expertise in recovering any survivors on the imperiled colony below. Sergeant Tanaka was ordered by the [[UNSC Navy|Navy]] to conduct a search and rescue mission down to Cleyell with a detachment of two [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]].<ref name="HE17"/> | [[Covenant remnants|Remnant]] factions of the former Covenant wage war across the [[Milky Way galaxy]] even in the years following the [[Treaty of 2552]].

The [[Mission to Cleyell|mission]] was a success, with Tanaka discovering a group of survivors in a Kig-Yar-occupied cave system. After the survivors were rescued, [[French (captain)|Captain French]] of the ''Cascadia'', impressed by Tanaka's intelligence, initiative and selflessness, recommended her for recruitment by the [[Spartan (branch)|Spartans]]. She would eventually accept and volunteer for augmentation with the [[SPARTAN-IV program]].<ref name="HE17"/> | |||
