As the Covenant had already [[Attack on Etalan|discovered]] the nearby [[human colonies|colony]] of [[Etalan]], the UNSC decided that they would wait for the Covenant to arrive at Biko to spring their trap. When [[Task Force Yama]] arrived Biko's moon of [[Seoba]] on [[2526#March|March 18, 2526]], they moved to occupy the [[Seoba Ice Quarry|ice quarry]] where they would wait. However, they discovered that [[insurrectionist]]s had holed up in the very same quarry. Before they went into [[Battle of Seoba|battle]], [[Colonel]] [[Marmon Crowther]] instructed all [[ODST]]s and [[Spartan-II]]s under his command to identify themselves as the Chancellor's Guards [[Battalion]] Five to any prisoners, ensuring that SILENT STORM's secrecy was not breached.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS7|HSS|Chapter=7}} | ||
On [[2526#March|March 20]], the Chancellor's Guards joined [[UNSC Navy]] forces in the [[Battle of Biko]], defending the planet against the [[Fleet of Inexorable Obedience]]. Unfortunately, the Bikon fleet only numbered roughly fifty patrol [[frigate]]s, and could do little to stop the might of over one hundred Covenant warships.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS17|HSS|Chapter=27}} The organization was presumably disbanded after the planet's fall. | |||
