In 2552, the Fleet of Valiant Prudence, led by Supreme Commander Rho ‘Barutamee, attacked a Human planet in the [[Beta Eridani system]]. After defeating [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces, several Forerunner artifacts were uncovered. Processing them through a [[Luminary]], the fleet learnt the coordinates of another planet rich with Forerunner artifacts, and quickly moved to secure it.<ref name="fb33">'''Halo: Fleet Battles''', ''Core Rulebook - page 33''</ref><ref name="fb2">'''Halo: Fleet Battles''', ''Scenario Two: Contact''</ref> | In 2552, the Fleet of Valiant Prudence, led by Supreme Commander Rho ‘Barutamee, attacked a Human planet in the [[Beta Eridani system]].

By [[2552#July|July 23]], the fleet had arrived at the planet, which turned out to be planet Reach, a major UNSC base.

Several weeks later, one of the Sentries was present at a [[BXR Mining Corporation]] facility during the [[Battle at Szurdok Ridge]], and was killed by SPARTAN-B312. <ref name="TS">'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[Tip of the Spear]]''</ref> NOBLE would strike an even greater blow against the Sentries two days later, when [[Operation: UPPER CUT]] resulted in the death of Rho ‘Barutamee.<ref name="WP"/><ref name="LS">'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace]]''</ref> Despite this, the Sentries continued their mission.

On August 30, NOBLE recovered a fragment of the [[Smart AI]] [[Cortana]], who had been studying data from a [[Babd Catha Forerunner vessel|crashed Forerunner ship]] underneath SWORD Base. Dr. Catherine Halsey ordered NOBLE to deliver her to the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}.<ref name="TP"></ref> During the [[Battle of Asźod]], just as NOBLE had completed their mission at the [[Asźod ship breaking yards]] , a [[CCS-class battlecruiser]] began moving against the ''Autumn'' while the Devoted Sentries attacked the [[Mark 2488 Onager]] providing the ''Autumn''‘s cover. [[Emile-A239]] was quickly killed, but at the cost of two Zealots. As the Cortana fragment was transported to the ''Autumn'', SPARTAN-B312 moved to retake the Onager. After killing the Field Marshal and three Zealots, he destroyed the battlecruiser, allowing the ''Autumn'' to leave Reach with the Forerunner data.<ref name="PA">'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]''</ref> Later that day, B312 was killed by one of the Devoted Sentries while making his final stand. However, it was too late. The failure of the Devoted Sentries to stop the ''Autumn''‘s takeoff resulted in Humanity discovering [[Installation 04]], and the subsequent collapse of the Covenant.<ref name="LW">'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[Lone Wolf]]''</ref> | |||
