Picking up where ''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx'' left off, [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]], [[Franklin Mendez|SCPO Franklin Mendez]], and a group of [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-IIs]] and [[SPARTAN-III Program|SPARTAN-IIIs]] look for a means of escape from a [[Forerunner]] [[ONI Research Facility Trevelyan|shield world]] locked in a [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] bubble in the remnants of the artificial planet [[Onyx]]. Meanwhile, Office of Naval Intelligence Commander in Chief [[Admiral]] [[Margaret Parangosky]] assembles a black operations team known as Kilo-Five, which is assigned on a covert mission to sow discord between disparate [[Sangheili]] factions by any means necessary, as well as to arrest Dr. Halsey once she has been located. At the same time, a Sangheili group known as the [[Servants of the Abiding Truth]] push for an insurrection against [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] and his forces, whom they consider to be blasphemous. | ||
