The '''Raid on Camp New Hope''' was an action which took place on May 1, [[2531]], during which a five [[SPARTAN-II]] supersoldiers, known as [[Blue Team]], infiltrated the [[United Rebel Front]] [[Camp New Hope]] on the [[UNSC]] colony world of [[Victoria]], in the [[111 Tauri System]]. It was a UNSC victory as the Spartans recovered three nuclear weapons, neutralized numerous rebel personnel and escaped without a single casualty. | |||

By 2531 | By 2531 [[United Rebel Front]] had repeatedly had its operations disrupted by a four-man team of Spartan-II supersoldiers known as [[Blue Team]]. The team disrupted URF operations including [[Station Jefferson]], the [[UNSC destroyer|destroyer]] ''[[Origami]]'' and a saboteur cell on [[Reach]], as well as an incident in [[Micronesia]], and a high-explosives manufacturing facility at an unspecified location.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''pages 36-37''</ref> In response the rebels gathered together three stolen [[FENRIS Nuclear Warhead]]s at Camp New Hope in a way so sloppy that the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] could not help but notice, then contacted the UNSC and offered to trade the nukes in exchange for medicines for their people suffering from [[Boren's Syndrome]]. They then set a trap for Blue Team, whom they anticipated would be sent to recover the nukes. The UNSC needed the weapons, as its stockpiles had been depleted by its war with the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]. | ||

There the rebels successfully ambushed [[John-117]], [[Frederic-104]], [[Kelly-087]] and [[Linda-058]] using an [[Antigravity Plate]], giving them the bends, and fitted them with [[Neural-Inhibitor Collar]]s so that they could be interrogated by rebel leader [[General]] [[Howard Graves]]. The rebels were unaware however of the presence of a fifth Spartan and new addition to the team, [[Kurt-051]], who had avoided the trap. Kurt was able to free the other members of Blue Team using a modified Warthog and several [[Asteroidea Anti-Personnel Mine]]s. General Howard Graves was killed in the process. | ||

They were then picked up by a [[Pelican dropship]] and left the system aboard the {{UNSCShip|Bunker Hill}}. | ||
