In [[2558]] Majestic was all assigned to the ''[[UNSC Infinity]]'' under the command of [[Sarah Palmer]].

Majestic and [[Fireteam Crimson]] were sent north of the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]]'s operational area to down [[Forerunner]] power generators. As they had similar objectives, Palmer turned the operation into a challenge between Majestic and Crimson. Despite having their long-range communications downed, the teams restored them and continued with the challenge. Though pulling ahead, Majestic was beat by Crimson, despite Crimson actually facing firmer resistance than Fireteam Majestic.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', ''Episode 1, Chapter 3: "The Challenge"''</ref>

Later on Requiem's surface, Fireteam Majestic had to face a swarm of [[Promethean Crawlers]], [[Slipspace translocation|translocating]] on the planets surface. Soon [[Promethean Knights]] began to attack, injuring Majestic member [[Anthony Madsen]]. Enraged, Hoya broke cover to take on the Knight, and got injured. He was evacuated and brought in a stretcher back aboard the ''UNSC Infinity'' where he was met by Palmer. Hoya informed her that he would return to the field.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Artifact|S1E2 ''Artifact'']]</ref>

True to his word, Hoya joined the rest of Majestic on retrieving the [[Durance|artifact]] known as the "[[Didact's Gift]]" from [[Galileo Base]] after most of the forces had been cleared out by Crimson. Retrieving the gift, they got pinned down by [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]] and [[Type-44 Troop Carrier|Phantoms]]. However, Thorne managed to hijack a Banshee and destroy a Phantom, allowing Majestic to bring the gift back to the ''Infinity''.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Memento Mori|S1E5 ''Memento Mori'']]</ref>

Later, Hoya and the others from Majestic rescued Thorne and Dr. Glassman from [[Gek 'Lhar]], and later on, attempted to rescue Dr. Halsey from Jul 'Mdama.  Later, he, along with the rest of Majestic and Commander Palmer, located and deactivated one of the artifacts binding ''Infinity'' to Requiem.  With the other artifact having been deactivated by Crimson, ''Infinity'' was able to escape Requiem before the shield world was destroyed.

===Freighter rescue and Oth Lodon===
===Freighter rescue===
{{Main|Ambush at Oth Lodon}}
On March 11, six days after DeMarco's death on [[Ealen IV]], ''Infinty'' arrived in the [[Artesia-702 system]] having received a distress signal from the damaged [[freighter]] ''[[Pilgrims Pride]]''. When an ambush was sprung, Fireteam Majestic was deployed along Fireteams [[Fireteam Colossus|Colossus]] and [[Fireteam Fenrir|Fenrir]] to repel attack and prevent the freighter from self-destructing on the ''Infinity''. Leading the fireteams, Thorne ordered teams Colossus and Fenrir to secure the ship while Majestic made their way to the core. As the Spartans advance through the freighter, they encountered [[M202 XP machine gun|automated defense turrets]] but Madsen was able to swiftly destroy them with his rifle. With the enemy going into retreat, the freighter was tugged out into space, where Grant ejected the ship's core before it exploded. The Spartans survived the detonation and requested pickup.<ref>'''[[Halo: Escalation]]''', ''Issue #4''</ref>

Following the attack, ''Infinity'' learned that the assault crafts from the freighter belonged to the long-lost {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}. Roland discovered that the freighter was launched near [[Oth Lodon]], a gas giant located deep in Jiralhanae space. With the Spirit's possible location found, Lord Hood authorized Commander Palmer to conduct a search and rescue mission. Equipped with [[OF92 Booster Frame]]s, Fireteam Majestic and Palmer scouted the planet's system. Exploring the system's asteroid field, the Spartans came across not the ''Spirit of Fire'' but instead a [[Oth Lodon station|Covenant station]] under control by [[New Colonial Alliance]] insurgents.<ref name="HE5">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 5|Issue #5]]''</ref>
 
After the station fired upon ''Infinity'' with an [[energy projector]] and disabled the ship, Commander Palmer led Majestic on a mission to take control of the station. After evading oncoming missiles, the Spartans quickly boarded the station and secured the bridge. The Spartans then turned their attention to Vata 'Gajat, who was preparing to assault the crippled ''Infinity''. With the station's cannon back online, they fired on 'Gajat's flagship, destroying it and saving the ''Infinity''.<ref name="HE6">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 6|Issue #6]]''</ref>
 
===Ven III===
{{Main|Operation: WHISTLE STOP}}
On [[2558#May|May 9, 2558]], [[Naiya Ray]] and Thorne were assigned, separately from the rest of Majestic, on a secret mission to capture [[Ayit 'Sevi|a Sangheili]] in possession of a mysterious [[bioweapon]] on [[Ven III]]. After communications with both Spartans were lost,<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 11|Issue #11]]''</ref> Captain Lasky ordered ''Infinity'' to head toward Ven III while Commander Palmer prepared the rest of Fireteam Majestic for insertion on the planet. Palmer assumed command of Majestic on the mission in the absence of Thorne. Upon arriving at the [[pirate]]s' base, Majestic and Palmer took out several Kig-Yar pirates. After receiving notification of Thorne's location by Ray, Palmer was going to redirect Majestic to Ray to help her retrieve the bioweapon but Ray shut off her locater to force them to rescue Thorne instead. Majestic eventually found Thorne and returned him to the ''Infinity''.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 12|Issue #12]]''</ref>
 
===Aktis IV===
{{Main|Battle of Aktis IV}}
[[File:HE15 Hoya Saved 2.jpg|thumb|200px|Hoya is saved by a Promethean Knight.]]
After ''Infinity'' was trapped near the uncharted world of [[Aktis IV]] on July 19, 2558, Hoya was deployed to the planet's surface alongside the rest of Majestic, with Palmer once again assuming tactical command of the team. On a forested island the Spartans discovered and secured a Forerunner structure after defeating a group of [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant forces]], and [[Henry Glassman|Dr. Glassman]] was brought in to investigate. Shortly afterward, Jul 'Mdama's Covenant launched a surprise assault against the Spartans and they became trapped in the structure. Hoya become separated from the rest of Fireteam Majestic after Jul's forces attacked them. He was left to fend off the Covenant in a jungle, unknowingly facing the rebel [[Sali 'Nyon]]'s forces. He was attacked by a Jul 'Mdama's Zealot but was inadvertently saved by [[Sandra Tillson|a malfunctioning]] [[Promethean Knight]].{{Ref/Book|Id=HTMB|Halo: The Machine Breaks}} Hoya fell off a cliff and spotted a Phantom with [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Halsey]] inside. Hoya then contacted Ray about his discovery. His transmission reached the other Spartans despite his prior attempts at communication failing to do so, and led to Commander Palmer taking Ray and Thorne to the jungle in order to hunt down Halsey.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 15|Issue #15]]''</ref> After the battle, Hoya supposedly returned to ''Infinity'' with the other Spartans.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 16|Issue #16]]''</ref>

==Personality and traits==
===Rescuing the ''Spirit of Fire''===
While generally jovial and laid-back among his Spartan compatriots, Hoya has a notably short temper and a tendency for brash and reckless actions during combat. This was demonstrated during the Requiem campaign when he singlehandedly charged a group of Prometheans after Madsen was injured. However, his brazen attitude has also gained Hoya some of his more noted accomplishments, something that was recognized in his recruitment into the SPARTAN-IV program.{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}}

Hoya wears the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Operator#GEN2|Operator]] variant of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR GEN2 armor]]. Like the rest of Majestic his armor is painted blue and is equipped with [[Visor color#Halo 4|VISR 4.09]]. He commonly wields an [[M45 shotgun#M45D Tactical Shotgun|M45D shotgun]], though he used an [[M392 DMR]] during the [[Battle of Aktis IV]].
