Released in three issues between June–August 2018, Collateral Damage sees Blue Team deployed onto the planet Alpha Corvi II to stop the Covenant's invasion of the planet.

Halo: Silent Storm[edit]
- Main article: Halo: Silent Storm
Halo: Silent Storm, written by Troy Denning and released in September 2018, sees the Master Chief and several other SPARTAN-IIs join up with Task Force Yama and the 21st Space Assault Battalion in their first major mission alongside regular UNSC forces. Eponymously named, Operation: SILENT STORM is a desperate plan put together by the UNSC to sabotage Covenant warships in an attempt to slow the Covenant advance into human space, and buy the UNSC time to find a countermeasure to help win the war.
Silent Storm additionally features Avery Johnson alongside several new characters including Nizat 'Kvarosee, the Minor Minister of Artifact Survey and Tel 'Szatulai - showcasing a Covenant perspective on the early war with humanity, and their reaction to the actions of the Spartans.
