Lieutenant SPARTAN-B312 was a SPARTAN-III who served as a member of NOBLE Team in 2552 under the call sign "Noble Six". Deemed nearly equal in ability to the famous MCPO John-117, B312 was deployed as a "lone wolf" assassin, performing black ops missions that the more publicized SPARTAN-IIs would never be seen doing. After years of counter-terrorism, B312 was exchanged to NOBLE Team just as humanity's most devastating loss, the Fall of Reach, began. | Lieutenant SPARTAN-B312 was a SPARTAN-III who served as a member of NOBLE Team in 2552 under the call sign "Noble Six".

The Battle of Harvest was an engagement in the Human-Covenant War between the United Nations Space Command and the Covenant. It was one of the first major human battles with the Covenant in space, and the return of Admiral Preston Cole to the UNSC Navy. | |||
Following the loss of the colony Harvest to the Covenant in 2525, the UNSC assembled a battle group to retake the planet on March 1, 2526. Led by Vice Admiral Preston Cole, UNSC Battle Group X-Ray engaged an enormous Covenant super-destroyer. Due to superior numbers and Cole's leadership, X-Ray was successful in defeating the Covenant but suffered heavy casualties in the process. At the cost of thirteen human ships, the alien starship was destroyed when its shields were overwhelmed with the largest show of firepower yet in humanity's history. | |||

Admiral Preston Jeremiah Cole (service number 03956-26127-PC) was a UNSC Naval officer during both the Insurrection and the Human-Covenant War. Cole is best known for being the commander of the majority of the UNSC Navy from 2525 until 2543 and for his role in creating the Cole Protocol, a central UNSC law of the Human-Covenant War. A military genius, he defeated the Covenant in every major battle he fought and his battle record was considered to be without equal, even more impressive than that of the SPARTAN-IIs.
