RECON 127
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
RECON 127 was a UNSC surveillance team.[1]
Operational History
The team was deployed from the UNSC In Amber Clad shortly after the frigate arrived at Delta Halo. The detachment’s goal was a large structure buried under one of the installation’s many islands. Upon arrival, they encountered heavy Covenant resistance and their Albatross was shot down.
Though the members of RECON 127 did not survive the following ground engagement, they did transmit a series of incredibly compelling scans of the site to the In Amber Clad. The details revealed the site - dubbed ‘Relic’- was in actuality the remains of a long-dormant Forerunner vessel that had been carefully hidden below the island over one hundred millennia years ago.
