The Mission to Cleyell was a United Nations Space Command operation to save civilians of the glassed planet Cleyell
Prelude
In 2556, a Covenant fringe group glassed the last city of the colony world of Cleyell. Weeks later, the UNSC Cascadia picked up a distress signal on the planet's surface, indicating that they may need to organize a search-and-rescue mission. One of the ODSTs questioned this, stating that any survivors only make it for around a month after a glassing. Holly Tanaka—a sergeant in the UNSC Army's 412th Engineer Command—then joined the conversation and revealed that the three survivors from her homeworld's glassing were recovered in 2553, three years later. After hearing her story, Captain French decided to follow Tanaka's advice. However, he also ordered Holly to accompany the group planetside due to her expertise.[1]
The battle
After the ODST team and Tanaka lands on Cleyell's surface, they find a transmitter wedged down in a crack. When one of the ODSTs asks why someone would stash a transmitter there, the other ODST finds a dead civilian with plasma burns in his body.[2]

Aftermath
The UNSC rescued several civilians. Captain French was impressed by Tanaka's selflessness and courage and recommended Tanaka to Jun-A266 as a suitable candidate for the SPARTAN-IV program.[2]
