While the specific site of the stronghold was remained relatively hidden from the UNSC, it was known for some time before 2525 that it was ''somewhere'' in the asteroid field. This all changed when one of his men was captured and offered the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] information, presumably in exchange for his survival. What ONI learned was that the insurrectionists were being supplied by independent [[freighter]]s, of which the ''[[Laden]]'' was one such vessel. Still unaware of the asteroid's location, making a naval operation impractical, it was decided that the SPARTAN-IIs should perform the operation as their first mission. Their mission was simple: find Colonel Watts and bring him back for trial. | While the specific site of the stronghold was remained relatively hidden from the UNSC, it was known for some time before 2525 that it was ''somewhere'' in the asteroid field.
