Early in the war with the Covenant, UNSC leadership realized that they would not be able to match the Covenant one-for-one in space combat. Following successful SPARTAN-II boardings of the ''[[Unrelenting]]'' and ''[[Radiant Arrow]]'', Vice Admirals [[Preston Cole]] and [[Michael Stanforth]] decided that the Spartans would next be employed to take on a larger operation - boarding and destroying a Covenant fleet of warships, while [[Battle Group X-Ray]] provided a distraction.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS5}} | Early in the war with the Covenant, UNSC leadership realized that they would not be able to match the Covenant one-for-one in space combat.

Twelve SPARTAN-II supersoldiers and the [[ODST]] [[21st Space Assault Battalion]] were assigned to the fleet, with Captain [[Halima Ascot]] in charge of the Prowler fleet and Colonel [[Marmon Crowther]] given operational command of ground forces. The planet [[Biko]], home to three resource-rich moons and a series of shipyards, was in the path of the Covenant conquest and thus selected as a staging ground for the operation. If the Covenant skipped attacking the planet, then the UNSC had a forward operations base in what would now be Covenant space; if the Covenant did attack the planet, Yama would be able to attack the Covenant while they were distracted.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS5|HSS|Chapter=5}} | ||
