At some point following the planet's invasion, the UNSC launched [[Operation: ABLE SENTRY]] on Circinius IV to investigate Covenant activity on the planet. [[Edward Buck]] participated in this operation. Directly afterwards, [[Operation: PHALANX]] was initiated and carried out by UNSC personnel, including [[John-117]], to rescue civilians on Circinius IV and to investigate Covenant invasion patterns. | At some point following the planet's invasion, the UNSC launched [[Operation: ABLE SENTRY]] on Circinius IV to investigate Covenant activity on the planet.
