==The mission==
In 2557, the {{UNSCShip|Taurokado}} was dispatched by the Office of Naval Intelligence to search for evidence of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}, with [[SPARTAN-IV|Spartan]] [[Fireteam Apollo]] embarked. At 0221 hours ([[Military Standard Time|MST]]) on June 8, it arrived in the [[Korinth Prior system]]. There, it encountered a debris field in orbit around a [[Wikipedia:K-type main-sequence star|K-type dwarf star]]. ''Taurokado'' conducted scans which showed that this debris field was composed of 94% naturally-occurring materials and 4% [[Forerunner]] materials, with 2% untraceable, and that of detritus size, 9% neared the scale of small lunar satellites while 84% were the size of the ship or smaller. ''Taurokado''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s sensors also revealed that low-level shielding sporadically surrounded structures of Forerunner origins.{{Ref/Reuse|lootcrate4}}

At 0924 hours (MST), ''Taurokado'' commenced site surveys of identified Forerunner structures. Fireteam Apollo was deployed to investigate a number of these structures. At one, designated "Site 012", Apollo uncovered configurations matching the [[Sarcophagus]] at [[Onyx]]. At "Site 042" they confirmed that the debris had formerly been a [[shield world]]. Apollo also found evidence of Forerunner {{Class|Sojourner|dreadnought}}s and a [[Flood]] infestation at "Site 029" and "Site 021", respectively. At "Site 037", Apollo recovered identifiable [[human]] materials. Analysis confirmed that these had belonged to the ''Spirit of Fire'', including war materiel and [[Titanium-A armor|Titanium-A battleplating]]. However, no evidence of survivors was detected by either Apollo or ''Taurokado''.{{Ref/Reuse|lootcrate4}}

At 1642 hours (MST), ''Taurokado'' made contact with a hostile [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant remnant]] [[battle group]]. Fireteam Apollo was distaptched in [[F-41 Broadsword]] fighters to intercept the enemy. After dispatching two waves of [[Type-31 Seraph]] fighters, Apollo fell back to the ''Taurokado''. At 1714 hours (MST), the ''Taurokado'' released sensor buoy "B89-7" and [[Slipstream space|slipped]] from the system, in accordance with protocol.{{Ref/Reuse|lootcrate4}}

Roughly two weeks later, [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] [[Turkish]] compiled ''Taurokado''’s mission log into an [[After Action Report Q74S295-LR|after-action report]] for [[Hugo Barton]], recommending an asset-denial or counter force operation in the system to deny the Covenant access to any Forerunner technology found there.

A massive UNSC fleet later returned to the system on June 29 as the ''[[Ace of Spades]]'' had been brought back by [[343 Guilty Spark]]. The fleet nuked the debris field, blowing it to bits and disrupting its gravity around the dwarf star. Whatever was not totally destroyed would most likely be pulled into the star, eradicating the remnants of the [[shield world]]. [[Gek 'Lhar]] and his battlegroup quickly retreated while 343 Guilty Spark got the ''Ace of Spades'' into slipspace just in time.<ref>'''[[Halo: Renegades]]''', ''Chapter 24''</ref>
