{{Article | {{Article Quote|[[2526]]. It has been more than a year since humanity first encountered the hostile military alliance of alien races known as the [[Covenant]], and several weeks after the [[United Nations Space Command]]'s devastating counterattack of Operation: SILENT STORM was deemed an overwhelming success. The UNSC has put its faith in the hands of the [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartans]], led by the legendary Master Chief, [[John-117]]: enhanced super-soldiers raised and trained from childhood via a clandestine black ops project to be living weapons. | ||
But the Covenant—enraged and fearful of their enemy’s unexpected strategies and prowess—is not taking its recent defeat lightly, and is now fully determined to eradicate humanity from existence, brutally overrunning the ill-fated planets of the [[Outer Colonies]] faster than retreats can be ordered. | But the Covenant—enraged and fearful of their enemy’s unexpected strategies and prowess—is not taking its recent defeat lightly, and is now fully determined to eradicate humanity from existence, brutally overrunning the ill-fated planets of the [[Outer Colonies]] faster than retreats can be ordered. | ||
If the UNSC has any chance of stemming the tide of the war, the Master Chief and [[Blue Team]] must drop onto an empty, hellish world in order to capture a disabled [[Covenant frigate]] filled with valuable technology. It has all the makings of a trap, but the bait is far too tempting to ignore—and this tantalizing prize is being offered by a [[Nizat 'Kvarosee|disgraced and vengeful]] Covenant [[fleetmaster]], whose sole opportunity for redemption lies in extinguishing humanity’s only hope of survival... | If the UNSC has any chance of stemming the tide of the war, the Master Chief and [[Blue Team]] must drop onto an empty, hellish world in order to capture a disabled [[Covenant frigate]] filled with valuable technology.

Meanwhile, the ''Night Watch'' arrives at [[Netherop]] and deploys their troops to the surface, getting shot down in the process. As soon discovered, Netherop is lethally hot. Petrov tasks Blue Team with capturing the Lucky Break as it is their only means of escape. En route to the crash site, [[Frederic-104]] sees what he believes to be human children watching him. [[John-117]] and the rest of Blue Team believe that Fred is suffering from acute heat stroke and is hallucinating. Later, on the way to ''Lucky Break'', Fred finds mechanical legs, which leads Blue Team to come into contact with the [[Castoffs]], a group of children and descendants of pirates Insurrectionists who were stranded long ago. The Spartans mildly injured two of the Castoff children and provided medical treatment, while subtly trying to form an alliance with the children. The Castoffs in turn try to negotiate a way off the planet with the UNSC forces on the planet. John promises to get them off. | Meanwhile, the ''Night Watch'' arrives at [[Netherop]] and deploys their troops to the surface, getting shot down in the process.

During this time, ‘Kvarosee is trying to determine the human's plan when a flotilla of [[Silent Shadow]] forces arrives over Netherop to eliminate Nizat and his forces. Nizat believes that the only way for him to be forgiven is to capture a Spartan and return them to High Charity for interrogation. The Spartans, meanwhile, continue towards Lucky Break and stop a Covenant ambush, capturing an Umbra transport. John sends [[Kelly-087]] back to the Night Watch crash site to meet up with the crew and marines stranded there.

During this time, the wolfpack orbiting Netherop has engaged the Silent Shadow's [[Fleet of Swift Justice]] and is prepping for departure. The remaining UNSC forces on the surface are instructed to rendezvous at a LZ for evac. Due to the size of the Pelicans, Commander Petrov offers to stay behind on the planet. Unbeknownst to her, Nizat and his subordinates are also marooned, due to his ineptitude involving [[Operation: SILENT STORM]] months before.
