The operation was to be executed in four phases.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''pages 240-245''</ref>

~~===~~Phase One~~===~~

*'''Phase One''' — The first objective of the operation consisted of the disabling and capture of a Covenant vessel. For the first phase, [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Halsey]] selected [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]] for his exemplary performance during the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]], and his newly fitted cruiser {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}.

~~===~~Phase Two~~===~~

*'''Phase Two''' — Involving the boarding of the captured Covenant vessel by the [[SPARTAN-II]]s, they would then neutralize the onboard defenses and take control of the ship. They, with help from a then-unidentified [[Cortana|mission specialist]], would then crack the navigation database of the ship and discover the location of the Covenant [[High Charity|home world]].

They, with help from a then-unidentified [[Cortana|mission specialist]], would then crack the navigation database of the ship and discover the location of the Covenant [[High Charity|home world]].

~~===~~Phase Three~~===~~

*'''Phase Three''' — With the help of Cortana, the Spartans would then pilot the captured Covenant vessel to the Covenant homeworld.

~~===~~Phase Four~~===~~

*'''Phase Four''' — The final phase of the operation involved the infiltration of the Covenant home world and the capture of a Covenant [[San 'Shyuum|Prophet]] for negotiating purposes. The UNSC hoped that by capturing a Prophet and holding it hostage, they could force the Covenant into agreeing to a truce, thereby ending a war that the UNSC would most certainly have lost.

The ~~fourth and~~ final phase of the operation involved the infiltration of the Covenant home world and the capture of a Covenant [[San 'Shyuum|Prophet]] for negotiating purposes.
