On [[2525#February|February 3, 2525]], contact was lost with the [[Unified Earth Government]] [[Outer Colony]] of [[Harvest]], in the [[Epsilon Indi system]]. In response, CMA ''Argo'' was dispatched to the planet to investigate the sudden loss of communications. Upon arriving in the system on [[2525#April|April 20, 2525]], the ship sent a brief transmission back, informing its location after dropping out of [[slipstream space]]. However, contact was lost with ''Argo'' directly after and no further reports were made by the vessel. | On [[2525#February|February 3, 2525]], contact was lost with the [[Unified Earth Government]] [[Outer Colony]] of [[Harvest]], in the [[Epsilon Indi system]].

[[Jotun Heavy Industries|JOTUNs]] under the control of [[Mack]], Harvest's agricultural [[artificial intelligence]], witnessed ''Argo'' enter Harvest's orbit and tried to warn the ship off, but, with communications options limited, Mack was unable to warn them in time. ''Argo'' was destroyed by ''Rapid Conversion'' when it strayed too close to the cruiser.<ref>'''Halo Encyclopedia''', ''page 268'' (2011)</ref><ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 393''</ref> With communications lost with ''Argo'', the CMA and [[UNSC Fleet Command]] sent [[Battle Group 4]], lead by [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Maribeau Veredi]] aboard ''[[CMA Heracles|Heracles]]'', to Harvest to discover the fate of the planet and ''Argo''.<ref name="for118"/> | ||

*The ship was presumably named after the [[Wikipedia:Argo|''Argo'']], Jason's ship in Greek mythology. It was said to have been planned or constructed with the help of the goddess Athena, and on which Jason and the Argonauts sailed to Colchis to retrieve the Golden Fleece. The vessel was named after her shipwright, Argus. | *The ship was presumably named after the [[Wikipedia:Argo|''Argo'']], Jason's ship in Greek mythology.
