{{Main|Battle over Etalan}}
That same day, Grace-093, the other Spartans, Staff Sergeant Johnson, and Dr. Halsey left the [[Kolaqoa system]] aboard the ''Vanishing Point'', with two prowlers trailing them as escort. On [[2526#March|March 22]], the three ships dropped out of [[slipspace]] at Etalan and the ''Vanishing Point''{{'}}s analysts spent the next four days observing the logistics fleet's movements, trying to discern which vessels should be designated as priority targets. By [[2526#March|March 26]], they felt confident that four of the fleet's fifteen vessels were equipment [[freighter]]s carrying spare parts and other materials that would be used to keep the Fleet of Inexorable Obedience operational. At this point, the logistics fleet was seemingly preparing to leave Etalan and regroup with the main force, evidenced by the fact that they had begun syncing their orbits and bringing their [[fusion reactor]]s to full power. Since time was running out, Grace, the rest of Gold Team, and Green Team were deployed in four [[S-14 Baselard]]s with the objective of destroying the equipment freighters while Blue Team remained on the ''Vanishing Point'', preparing for their phase of the attack. The four Spartan-manned fighters flew at the center of a formation of twenty total Baselards, and the plan was for the squadron to pierce through the logistics vessels' screen of Banshees and [[Seraph]]s, then the eight Spartans would go [[Extra-vehicular activity|EV]] after faking the destruction of their Baselards. To camouflage their approach, their fighters were equipped with pods of chain-linked debris that would deploy upon the crafts' destruction. Then, the Spartans would board the target vessels and plant their HAVOK nukes before fleeing. Due to the high risk involved with performing these maneuvers, both teams were given strict orders to abort the mission if it became apparent that they would not reach their targets.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS19|HSS|Chapter=19}}

After Blue Team launched from the ''Vanishing Point'' in the captured Banshees from the ''Radiant Arrow'', they managed to infiltrate a larger formation of Covenant fighters. With that, the next phase of the mission began and Gold Team ejected from their Baselards as Green Team did the same. As planned, the eight Spartans boarded the four equipment freighters, planted their nukes, and abandoned ship before the nukes detonated. The fourth detonation [[Electromagnetic pulse|disabled]] the Banshee formation that Blue Team had infiltrated, forcing them to go EV. Afterwards, when the two escort prowlers moved to extract Gold and Green Teams from orbit over Etalan, their retrieval caused an unintentional diversion that drew attention away from Blue Team as they destroyed the logistics fleet’s "[[Bladder ship|air-skimmers]]."{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS20|HSS|Chapter=20}}
