Task Force Yama: Difference between revisions

Line 30:

Task Force Yama split off from Battle Group X-Ray under the orders of [[Admiral]] [[Preston Cole]]. The Task Force's main objective was to escort and infiltrate the Spartans into a Covenant ship, so they could capture it. The Covenant ship would then be used to gain intelligence about the Covenant technology and their homeworlds.

The initial insertion was a failure due to an accidentally broadcasted transmission the Covenant picked up. Captain Ascot, Spartan [[John-117]] and the commander of the [[21st Space Assault Battalion]] joining the fleet, [[Marmon Crowther|Colonel Crowther]] then decided to await the Covenant at [[Biko]], a [[UNSC]] Strongpoint. Intending to using an abandoned Ice Quarry on Biko's third moon, the Task Force was unexpectedly ambushed by the [[United Rebel Front]], who also used the Quarry as a staging location for a coup. Although the [[Spartans]] and the Black Daggers managed to defeat the Insurrectionists, they still managed to shoot down the {{UNSCShip|Ghost Star}} and ''Starry Night'', killing Captain Ascot. Though Covenant forces tried to capture the still relatively-intact ''Starry Night'', the Spartans rescued the Prowler's surviving crew and activated its [[self-destruct]], a one-megaton [[Fury tactical nuclear weapon]] that destroyed the ~~{{Class|~~Intrusion|corvette}} that was trying to take the Prowler on board.

Shortly after, the [[Covenant]] [[Fleet of Inexorable Obedience]] [[Battle of Biko|attacked Biko]] with the task force attempting to help defend the planet. Due to Insurrectionist warnings, the Covenant was successfully able to protect against boarding actions and the task force lost five more Prowlers, but the Spartans used the time to go on a secret side mission to [[Etalan]] where they successfully destroyed the Covenant logistics fleet, forcing the Covenant to call in another for resupply and exposing their support world of [[Zhoist]] to Doctor [[Catherine Halsey]].
