Operational history

The Template:UNSCship rendezvoused with the Template:UNSCship near Chi Ceti IV in late November of 2525. A complement of Spartan-IIs were transferred to the Persian Gate, along with Dr. Catherine Halsey. It held orbit over the planet while a funeral service for the recently-deceased Sam-034 was held and then entered slipspace. Two days later, on December 3, its commander, LCDR Yao, briefed the four Spartans selected for Blue Team on the ongoing attack of Alpha Corvi II by the Covenant and their mission to provide its defenders with relief.

Trivia

The Battle of the Persian Gate was a military engagement between Persia and the invading forces of Alexander the Great in 330 BCE at the mountain pass known as the Persian Gates.
