'''Operation: JOVIAN WHISTLE''' | '''Operation: JOVIAN WHISTLE'''<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians Limited Edition]]'''</ref> was an operation conducted by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] in [[2553]] on the colony of [[Gao]] in order to retrieve [[Forerunner]] technology.<ref name="hll">'''Halo: Last Light''', ''description''</ref> | ||

In 2553, the UNSC's [[717th Xeno-Materials Exploitation Battalion]], escorted by the [[Spartan]]s of [[Blue Team]], arrived on the planet Gao to investigate a transmission believed to have originated from a Forerunner [[ancilla]] on the planet. Following the transmission, there had also been reports of miraculous cures found inside the planet's vast [[Montero Cave System]]. The research battalion's arrival was followed by several brutal murders of Gao natives in the caverns, prompting the [[Gao Ministry of Protection]] to dispatch Special Inspector [[Veta Lopis]] and her field team to investigate. However, the situation escalated into an all-out crisis when [[Insurrectionist]] sympathizers within Gao's government, headed by would-be president [[Arlo Casille]], decided to eliminate the UNSC forces and take control of the ancilla. They allied themselves with the militant cult [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] and smuggled them on Gao, seeking to use the Keepers as a proxy force through which to accomplish their goals without attacking the UNSC directly. | In 2553, the UNSC's [[717th Xeno-Materials Exploitation Battalion]], escorted by the [[Spartan]]s of [[Blue Team]], arrived on the planet Gao to investigate a transmission believed to have originated from a Forerunner [[ancilla]] on the planet.

The UNSC presence in the village of [[Wendosa]] included the 717th's Charlie Company, comprising of 150 heavy infantry marines armed with heavy machine guns, [[LAU-65D/SGM-151 missile pod|missile pods]], [[M6 Spartan Laser|nonlinear lasers]] and [[M41 SPNKR|rocket]] and [[M319 grenade launcher|grenade]] launchers. The sole road into the village was blockaded by two [[M12 Warthog]]s armed with [[M41 Extended Light Anti-Aircraft Gun|M41 anti-aircraft guns]] and the area surrounding the village was mined and trapped, with a series of motion sensors strung up around the perimeter, turning the village into a veritable fortress.<ref name="LL11">'''Halo: Last Light''', ''chapter 11''</ref> | The UNSC presence in the village of [[Wendosa]] included the 717th's Charlie Company, comprising of 150 heavy infantry marines armed with heavy machine guns, [[LAU-65D/SGM-151 missile pod|missile pods]], [[M6 Spartan Laser|nonlinear lasers]] and [[M41 SPNKR|rocket]] and [[M319 grenade launcher|grenade]] launchers.
