Draetheus V's western reactor field was one of the largest of the magnetic reactor stations and was of great interest to the Covenant. Luckily, the trench-like layout of the reactor field provided the Marines stationed there with a terrain advantage and Covenant infantry platoons had significant difficulty in seizing the station. After supporting the Marines at Faraday, Sarah Palmer moved to provide support in the western reactor field. Palmer's prime objectives were to protect several squads of M9 Wolverines and halt the Banshees providing air support to the Covenant infantry.<ref>'''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]''', ''[[Mission 7: Reactor Field Relief|Reactor Field Relief]]''</ref>

After Faraday Base's defense were stabilized Spartan Palmer began trying to establish the location of the Covenant officers leading the invasion. After taking significant losses, marines of the [[21st Scout platoon]] had managed to uncover a set of promising coordinates. These commanders' locations were well hidden by Draetheus V's unique magnetic signatures. Without Palmer, the officers might have remained hidden for days. She found them within 30 minutes.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Assault''', ''[[Mission 8: Hunt for the Sangheili Command|Hunt for the Sangheili Command]]''</ref>
