The prologue begins with the 300 SPARTAN-IIIs of [[Beta Company]] being deployed to the Covenant Planet, [[Pegasi Delta]] in [[2545]]. Out of the 300; 291 hit the ground and proceed towards their target, a Covenant refinery. The Spartans manage to destroy the facility, but due to unexpected heavy Covenant resistance, in the form of seven large Covenant cruisers, misidentified as part of the factory by the orbiting STARS Satellite, only two; SPARTANS [[Tom-B292]] and [[Lucy-B091]], survive. Tom and Lucy are revealed to be only twelve years old, and Lucy is severely traumatized and rendered mute, being diagnosed with post traumatic vocal disarticulation after the deaths of the other Spartans and several of her companions from [[Team Foxtrot]], [[Adam-B004]] and [[Min-B174]]. | The prologue begins with the 300 SPARTAN-IIIs of [[Beta Company]] being deployed to the Covenant Planet, [[Pegasi Delta]] in [[2545]].

The narrative then moves back to 2531 to a raid by [[SPARTAN-II]] [[Blue Team]] against insurrectionists on Planet [[Victoria]] to recover stolen [[FENRIS]] nuclear warheads. Though the team is almost captured, the timely intervention of [[Kurt-051]] allows the team to complete their mission without any other serious problems. Five months later, [[Colonel James Ackerson]] of Section Three of the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]], meets with the top brass of ONI. During the meeting, Ackerson moves forward a proposal for a new SPARTAN program which retains most of the effectiveness, of the Series II program without the high costs of the previous project. This becomes the SPARTAN-III program, a more streamlined, "disposable", as well as more numerable, company of SPARTANS that must be trained for high-risk operations. | The narrative then moves back to 2531 to a raid by [[SPARTAN-II]] [[Blue Team]] against insurrectionists on Planet [[Victoria]] to recover stolen [[FENRIS]] nuclear warheads.
