The Skirmish on Infinite Succor was a engagement of the Battle of Installation 04 aboard the Covenant DSC-class support ship Infinite Succor on September 21, 2552. After being overrun by a Flood infestation which came from within Installation 04, the Infinite Succor was boarded by a ill-fated Special Operations team in order to discover the source of the Succor's emergency beacon activation.

Prelude

"Help! Infinite Succor has been boarded! They've got human weapons, but they're not-"
— Distress message sent by an Unggoy crewmember

Infinite Succor was one of many supply ships of the Fleet of Particular Justice, providing food for its crews during their battles at Alpha Halo. Shortly after the Flood broke loose inside one of the ring's Flood containment facilities, the Spirit dropship Brilliant Gift escaped and flew into orbit with numerous Flood-infected aboard. The dropship crashed into the Succor's hangar and spread throughout the ship, killing and infecting the crew and livestock aboard.[1] Though containment protocols activated to keep the boarders in the hangar, they only kept the crew stuck inside until the Flood killed them and then overpowered the security doors. A distress signal managed to be sent just before the crew was overwhelmed, but it had no solid information on who were the attackers.[2] Suspecting that "the Demon" might be aboard, Supreme Commander Thel 'Vadamee commissioned a Sangheili and Unggoy special operations unit, led Rtas 'Vadumee, to reclaim the ship, kill its boarders, and rescue any survivors. They were given command codes and a map of the ship, codes that would allow access to all areas unless overriden by the Succor's commander the Minister of Etiology.[3]
