During the [[Battle of Arcadia]] in [[2531|February 9, 2531]], the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} arrived at the planet [[Arcadia]], where it assisted in the evacuation of civilians, and the eradication of the [[Covenant]] from the planet's surface. When Professor [[Ellen Anders]] was captured by the [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]], the ''Spirit of Fire'' quickly gave chase, following the Arbiter's flagship to [[Shield 0459|an unknown planet]].<ref | During the [[Battle of Arcadia]] in [[2531|February 9, 2531]], the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} arrived at the planet [[Arcadia]], where it assisted in the evacuation of civilians, and the eradication of the [[Covenant]] from the planet's surface.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''', campaign level, ''[[Arcadia City]]''</ref> When Professor [[Ellen Anders]] was captured by the [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]], the ''Spirit of Fire'' quickly gave chase, following the Arbiter's flagship to [[Shield 0459|an unknown planet]].<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level, ''[[Anders' Signal]]''</ref> Before leaving the system, the ''Spirit of Fire'' dropped a log buoy and [[Terrence Hood]], Captain of the {{UNSCShip|Roman Blue}} was assigned to recover it. However, as the colony was already deemed lost by UNSC command, ''Roman Blue'' was also ordered to withhold from engaging the enemy in combat. However, Hood, enraged by the massive losses the Covenant had already inflicted on humanity, ordered his crew to attack a {{Class|CPV|heavy destroyer}}. Overwhelmed, Hood was forced to retreat. Consequently, the ''Spirit of Fire''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s log buoy was not recovered and Hood would view himself as responsible for the ''Spirit of Fire'''s disappearance.<ref name="HE5"/> | ||
Out of guilt, Hood provided financial support for both [[James Cutter]]'s legitimate family (his apparent widow [[Mary Cutter|Mary]] and [[Cutter's daughter|their daughter]]) and his secret one, supporting [[Daniel Clayton]]'s mother for years.<ref name="HE5"/> | Out of guilt, Hood provided financial support for both [[James Cutter]]'s legitimate family (his apparent widow [[Mary Cutter|Mary]] and [[Cutter's daughter|their daughter]]) and his secret one, supporting [[Daniel Clayton]]'s mother for years.<ref name="HE5"/> | ||

In [[2558]] Clayton had come to serve under [[Horatio Temkin|Rear Admiral Horatio Temkin]], the UNSC's ambassador to [[Sanghelios]]. Clayton eventually learned that Lord Hood had been acting as a benefactor throughout his entire career in an attempt to make up for the loss of Cutter and ''Spirit of Fire''. Feeling he had never accomplished anything for himself, Clayton joined [[Mattius Drake|Admiral Mattius Drake]]'s [[New Colonial Alliance]] and sought vengeance on Lord Hood.<ref name="HE5"/> | In [[2558]] Clayton had come to serve under [[Horatio Temkin|Rear Admiral Horatio Temkin]], the UNSC's ambassador to [[Sanghelios]].

Having learned of Lord Hood's diplomatic mission to [[Ealen IV]], Captain Clayton leaked intel about the peace talks and employed the help of a Sangheili mercenary, [[Vata 'Gajat]]. On March 5, they led an attack on the peace conference. The tide of the battle changed when the delegation reestablished communications with their orbiting fleets and escaped from the planet. Not wanting to risk being identified, Clayton and 'Gajat retreated before the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} and their allied Sangheili and Jiralhanae ships could engage them.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #3''</ref> | Having learned of Lord Hood's diplomatic mission to [[Ealen IV]], Captain Clayton leaked intel about the peace talks and employed the help of a Sangheili mercenary, [[Vata 'Gajat]].
