When the [[Covenant]] [[Defense of Concord|attacked]] the [[Human colonies|colony]] of [[Concord]] in early [[2551#December|December 2551]],{{Ref/Site|Id=S2StoryHub|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com | When the [[Covenant]] [[Defense of Concord|attacked]] the [[Human colonies|colony]] of [[Concord]] in early [[2551#December|December 2551]],{{Ref/Site|Id=S2StoryHub|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/halo-infinite|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo Infinite|Detail=Season 02 Lone Wolves - Story & Intel|D=11|M=02|Y=2023}} [[NOBLE Team]] was sent to the planet to aid in its defense. By December 12, a joint effort between the [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Army Rangers|Army Rangers]] and the [[Concordian militia]] had denied the Covenant air superiority using [[M9 Wolverine]] anti-aircraft tanks and [[S-14 Baselard]]s. Following this, the alien invasion forces were driven from the major cities and the unusually small number of Covenant [[Covenant starship|warship]]s in orbit were neutralized by the planets [[mass driver]]s and a UNSC strike group. After being rerouted from one of the cities, NOBLE Team's [[Pelican]] was downed in the mountains of the [[Hinterlands region]] in the midst of a particularly brutal snowstorm. As a lone Covenant [[Banshee]] scouted for their crash site, the [[Spartan]]s made their way to the town of [[Skathi]], which was under imminent threat from a contingent of Covenant ground forces.{{Ref/Reuse|WC}} | ||
