Template:Battle The Mission to Szurdok Ridge was a reconnaissance mission undertaken by elements of Noble Team during the Fall of Reach to explore a Covenant dark zone at Szurdok Ridge.
Prelude
On or prior to the night of July 23, 2552, the Covenant Fleet of Valiant Prudence arrived at the human Inner Colony of Reach undetected by its defending forces. A small strike, including artifact-hunting Sangheili Zealots from the Devoted Sentries, was dispatched to the Visegrád Relay in Visegrád to cut off communications between Reach and other UEG colonies. The Office of Naval Intelligence assumed that the communications blackout was caused by local Insurrectionists; in response, Colonel Urban Holland dispatched several Army fireteams to the relay. After losing contact with the troopers, SPARTAN Noble Team was sent to investigate.[1] The team discovered the Covenant presence on Reach and reported back to CENTCOM, killing two of the Zealots in the process. WINTER CONTINGENCY was declared on Reach while Lieutenant Commander Kat-B320 retrieved a data module from the corpse of Doctor Laszlo Sorvad.[2] The Covenant subsequently attacked ONI's SWORD Base, but were repelled by the defending forces with the help of Noble Team and an orbital Super MAC platform.[3]
By the night of August 13, the Covenant had established a dark zone at Szurdok Ridge in the Viery Territory using stealth pylons. This dark zone, which blocked out the UNSC's ability to detect what was inside, held a secret landing zone for an invasion force. Concerned about what the Covenant were hiding, ONI decided to send in Noble Team on a reconnaissance mission to investigate.[4]
