==History==
Some time after [[2557#July|July 2557]],<ref name="xbox wire SDCC">[http://news.xbox.com/2014/07/ent-halo-nightfall-sdcc-announcement '''Xbox Wire''': ''SDCC 14: 343 Industries and Scott Free Productions Offer First-Look of Halo: Nightfall'']</ref> the unit was deployed to the [[Outer Colony]] of [[Sedra]] to investigate local [[terrorist]] activity, only to be caught in a terrorist a plot to unleash a [[bioweapon]] which specifically targeted [[human]]s. After a [[Sangheili Zealot]] unleashed the bioweapon in a Sedran city, killing or hospitalizing many of the planet's inhabitants as well as ONI agents [[Jordan Gaines|Gaines]] and [[Mason Hundley|Hundley]], Locke's team was forced to cooperate with the [[Sedran Colonial Guard]], led by [[Randall Aiken|Colonel Randall Aiken]], despite the colonists' mistrust of the UNSC and ONI in particular. During their search for the origin of the bioweapon, they discovered the element used in the weapon was mined on [[Alpha Shard]], a partly functional fragment of [[Installation 04]], a [[Forerunner]] [[Halo Array|Halo installation]] destroyed by [[John-117]] years prior. They traveled to the fragment on a [[D81-LRT Condor]], intending to capture the smugglers who obtained the element and destroy the deposits with a [[HAVOK]] nuclear warhead.<ref name="nf1">'''Halo: Nightfall''' - ''Chapter 1''</ref>
===Attack on Sedra===
{{Main|Terrorist attack on Sedra City}}
On [[2556|February 7, 2556]], the unit was deployed to the [[Outer Colony]] of [[Sedra]] to investigate local [[terrorist]] activity, only to be caught in a terrorist plot to unleash a [[bioweapon]] which specifically targeted [[human]]s. After a [[Sangheili Zealot]] unleashed the bioweapon in [[Sedra City]], killing or hospitalizing many of the planet's inhabitants as well as ONI agents [[Jordan Gaines|Gaines]] and [[Mason Hundley|Hundley]], the remaining members of Locke's team—Locke, [[Gregory Ramos|Ramos]], [[Michael Horrigan|Horrigan]] and [[Alistair Estrin|Estrin]]—were forced to cooperate with the [[Sedran Colonial Guard]], led by [[Randall Aiken|Colonel Randall Aiken]], despite the colonists' mistrust of the UNSC and ONI in particular.<ref name="nf1">'''Halo: Nightfall''', ''Chapter 1''</ref>
 
===Alpha Shard===
{{Main|Mission to Alpha Shard}}
During their search for the origin of the bioweapon, they discovered the element used in the weapon was mined on [[Alpha Shard]], a partly functional fragment of [[Installation 04]], a [[Forerunner]] [[Halo Array|Halo installation]] destroyed by [[John-117]] years prior. They traveled to the fragment on a [[D81-LRT Condor]], intending to capture the smugglers who obtained the element and destroy the deposits with a [[HAVOK]] nuclear warhead.{{Ref/Reuse|nf1}} However, their Condor was brought down by [[Lekgolo]] swarms present on Alpha Shard. With the survivors hunted by the Lekgolo, it became clear that the only means of escape was the smugglers' {{Class|Bactrian|freighter}}, which could only hold two.<ref name="nf3">'''Halo: Nightfall''', ''Chapter 3''</ref> Factions soon started forming within the team; after Ramos failed to convince Estrin to ally with him and discard the mission to save themselves, he let Estrin fall to his death. Soon after, Horrigan and Ramos mutinied against Locke and proceeded back to the smugglers' tug. However, Locke and the remaining two Sedrans—Colonel Aiken and [[Talitha Macer|Private Macer]]—managed to retrieve the HAVOK warhead from the crashed Condor. With Aiken detonating the nuke and Ramos and Horrigan killed by the Lekgolo on their way to the smugglers' spacecraft, Locke and Macer were the only ones to successfully escape Alpha Shard aboard the tug.<ref name="nf5">'''Halo: Nightfall''', ''Chapter 5''</ref>
