The '''Third Battle of Harvest''' was an engagement during the [[Human-Covenant War]] when the [[Covenant]] attacked [[Harvest]] again in the hope of securing a [[Forerunner]] [[Relic (Structure)|artifact]] buried under the planet's north pole.

The {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} was chosen by Cole due to it's role as a "support ship" rather than a warship. The ''Spirit of Fire'' arrived at the system three days after the ''Prophecy'' sent their message.

Upon his arrival at Bay 2, the team quickly evacuated with at least two of the {{UNSCShip|Prophecy}}'s crew. After arriving back on the Spirit, the survivors were taken to the Med. bay, where Serina informed Forge that the radiation poisoning that the crew sustained was too severe and that they would certainly die.

After the threat in space was destroyed, ONI kidnapped civilian scientist [[Ellen Anders]] shortly after a seminar on [[Forerunner|intelligent life]] that once existed on the planets [[Cote D'Azure]], [[Bliss]] and [[Onyx]]. ONI wanted her to decipher a Covenant message written in Forerunner symbols. Anders was then sent to the ''Spirit of Fire'' via the {{UNSCShip|Last Gleaming}}.

Upon her investigation, she concluded that the message meant that "treasure" (Relics) were to be found, but hidden (from the Humans). Shorty thereafter, Anders scanned the northern polar region of Harvest, concluding that there was a structure under the ice.

Template:Ratings

Template:Battle.

Advanced Usage (Multiple main articles)

For multiple main articles, use {{main|Main Article 1|Main Article 2}}. Up to ten main articles may be listed.

Advanced Usage (Changing a Link's Name)

You may want the main article's name to show up differently; named parameters are good for the job.

{{main
|1=Main Article 1
|l1=Link Title 1
|2=Main Article 2
|l2=Link Title 2
}}

Note that the named parameters are a lowercase "L" and a number, not the number 1 and then another number. Sergeant Forge was ordered by Cutter to report to Alpha Base and repair it. Upon Alpha Base's re-entering into service, the growing military presence made an assault on the Covenant defenders of the structure.

Upon capturing the structure, Anders opened up a holographic map of the nearby systems. Several Sangheili disengaged their Active Camouflage and attacked Forge's group. Two Grizzlys were dropped in to extract Forge and the rest of his team back to a marked retrieval point for redeployment back to the Spirit of Fire. Upon their safe return to the Spirit, the ship departed the system to follow up on what Anders had discovered inside the Forerunner station.

Aftermath

The information gained by the Covenant from the Forerunner structure led them to the UNSC colony Arcadia. Anders was drawn to the same planet after examining the artifact. The Covenant attacked Arcadia on February 9th, 2531, and the Spirit of Fire followed.
