After rising through the ranks of [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s [[Prowler]] [[UNSC Prowler Corps|Corps]], the [[insurrectionist]] spy [[Hector Nyeto]] slowly and quietly replaced the crew of all four of Ghost Flight's prowlers with men and women sympathetic to the rebel cause. It is estimated that Nyeto accomplished this over the course of many years, or even decades.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS25}} | After rising through the ranks of [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s [[Prowler]] [[UNSC Prowler Corps|Corps]], the [[insurrectionist]] spy [[Hector Nyeto]] slowly and quietly replaced the crew of all four of Ghost Flight's prowlers with men and women sympathetic to the rebel cause.

At least one of these prowlers participated in the [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-IIs']] [[Skirmish over Netherop|mission]] to board and capture ''[[Radiant Arrow]]'', a [[Covenant]] [[Covenant frigate|frigate]] in orbit over [[Netherop]]. During the operation, one of Nyeto's sensor operators deliberately transmitted over an open communications channel in an effort to get [[Blue Team|the]] [[Gold Team|three]] [[Green Team|teams]] of Spartans killed. While this ultimately resulted in the self-destruction of the frigate, each of the Spartans managed to escape.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS3|HSS|Chapter=3}} | |||

After the initiation of [[Operation: SILENT STORM]], Ghost Flight traveled with the rest of [[Task Force Yama]] to [[Seoba]] with the intent of capturing an [[Seoba Ice Quarry|abandoned ice quarry]] to use it as a staging ground for their assault on the [[Fleet of Inexorable Obedience|approaching Covenant fleet]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS5|HSS|Chapter=5}}{{Ref/Reuse|HSS7}} Upon arriving at the icy moon | After the initiation of [[Operation: SILENT STORM]], Ghost Flight traveled with the rest of [[Task Force Yama]] to [[Seoba]] with the intent of capturing an [[Seoba Ice Quarry|abandoned ice quarry]] to use it as a staging ground for their assault on the [[Fleet of Inexorable Obedience|approaching Covenant fleet]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS5|HSS|Chapter=5}}{{Ref/Reuse|HSS7}} Upon arriving at the icy moon, [[Colonel]] [[Marmon Crowther]] of the [[21st Space Assault Battalion]] decided to have the [[ODST]]s and Spartans practice mass deployment from these four prowlers. However, [[Battle of Seoba#Operation: ICE DANCE|Operation: ICE DANCE]] soon erupted into an actual battlefield when insurrectionists were discovered to be entrenched in the quarry.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS7}} Ghost Flight provided air support and dropped off additional ODSTs throughout the course of the battle, even disabling the insurgents' communications relay at the top of the quarry. They kept up this support until the prowlers began to run low on ordnance and the {{UNSCShip|Ghost Star}} was shot down by an insurrectionist convoy of [[Civet]]s armed with missile launchers that was making their way up and out of the quarry to repair the relay. At this point, Nyeto ordered his three remaining ships to pull back.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS8|HSS|Chapter=8}} | ||
However, when [[Blue Team]] executed their plan to cut off the convoy and destroy by traveling up the quarry's derelict [[mass driver]], [[Lieutenant]] [[Nelly Hamm]] and Hector Nyeto used the distraction to safely drop more ODSTs at the top of the quarry. These Black Daggers were able to destroy the convoy and then plant explosives on the relay to put it out of commission for good. With Ghost Flight now safe from the rebels and Black Daggers occupying much of the quarry, the battle soon ended in favor of Task Force Yama.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS10|HSS|Chapter=10}} | However, when [[Blue Team]] executed their plan to cut off the convoy and destroy by traveling up the quarry's derelict [[mass driver]], [[Lieutenant]] [[Nelly Hamm]] and Hector Nyeto used the distraction to safely drop more ODSTs at the top of the quarry.
