In around July [[2556]], Fireteam Apollo was dispatched to the exclusion zone near [[Threshold]] in order to look for something as part of [[Operation: SHELL GAME]]. The [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] was intimately involved in this operation, which also was related to information gathered in [[Kenya]] during the [[Battle for Earth]] in [[2552]]. The mission was in direct violation of the [[Treaty of 2552]] made between the [[UEG]] and the [[Swords of Sanghelios]]. Apollo recovered the black-box from the {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}} ''[[Undiminished Entelechy]]''. From this, a recorded conversation between [[Supreme Commander]] [[Thel 'Vadamee]] and the [[Prophet of Stewardship]] was found. In addition, data gathered by Apollo was used to construct two [[War Games]] environments based around the battlecruiser.<ref>'''[[Halo Legendary Crate]]''', ''[[Halo Legendary Crate/Data Drops|Data Drop #3]]''</ref>

On June 8 [[2557]], Fireteam Apollo was [[Mission to the Korinth Prior system|dispatched]] aboard the ONI [[prowler]] {{UNSCShip|Taurokado}} to the [[Korinth Prior system]]. There, the team discovered evidence of the long-lost  {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} in the debris of [[Trove]]. While surveying the debris field, Apollo was dispatched aboard [[F-41 Broadsword]]s to engage a hostile [[Covenant remnant]] [[battlegroup]]. After destroying two waves of [[Type-31 Seraph|Seraph fighters]], Fireteam Apollo returned to the prowler, which launched a sensor buoy and fled the system.<ref>'''[[Halo Legendary Crate]]''', ''[[Halo Legendary Crate/Data Drops|Data Drop #4]]''</ref>

Sometime prior to July 21, 2557, Fireteam Apollo was sent to the [[Ark]] for Recon for 576.7 hours based out of the [[Henry Lamb Research Outpost]], where they found a [[Type-31 records module]] from the [[Covenant frigate|frigate]] ''[[Twilight Compunction]]''.<ref>'''[[Halo Legendary Crate]]''', ''[[Halo Legendary Crate/Data Drops|Data Drop #5]]''</ref>
