'''Commander Yao''' was a [[United Nations Space Command]] [[UNSC Navy|naval]] officer stationed aboard the {{Class|Halcyon|light cruiser}} {{UNSCship|Persian Gate}} at the start of the [[Covenant War]].<ref name="HCD1"/>

CDR Yao was aboard the ''Persian Gate'' on [[2525#December|December 1, 2525]] when it was orbiting [[Chi Ceti IV]] with a complement of [[Spartan-IIs]].<ref name="HCD1"/> On December 3, having left Chi Ceti behind them, Commander Yao joined the the four [[Spartan]]s selected for [[Blue Team]] in its ready room aboard the vessel. She spoke up as she entered, just as Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] finished congratulating the teenagers for recently [[Battle of Chi Ceti IV|proving]] the [[Covenant]] could be beat. Yao informed them that due to their demonstrated success, they were here now in order to prove themselves again. She had [[Nora]], the shipboard [[A.I.]], display a map of the [[Alpha Corvi system]] and began to fill them in concerning a Covenant incursion on [[Alpha Corvi II]] that had begun just three hours prior. [[Dropship]]s had landed on the colony's surface and its largest city, [[Jamshid]], was under attack by ground forces. LDCR Yao told Blue Team that their job was to drop near the city's outskirts and then fight to provide relief of the [[UNSC Marine Corps|marines]] defending Jamshid. She stated that they were not to contact the marines. She finished by giving the order for the young warriors to [[MJOLNIR|suit up]] before walking away to let Halsey finish briefing them.<ref name="HCD1"/>
