- January 3rd: Gage Yevgenny enlists in the Colonial Military Administration.[2]
- January 18th: A telescope on Mars, CFHT-Mars, while recording the Rosette Nebula, captures the first ever human photograph of the Covenant mobile planetoid, High Charity. The discovery is sent to Dr. Catherine Halsey for evaluation.[3]

- June 16th: Staff Sergeants Nolan Byrne and Avery Johnson lead two four-man teams on a raid in the city of Casbah on Tribute to find rebel bombs.[7] The assault is part of Operation: TREBUCHET.

- September 2nd: The freighter Horn of Plenty emerges from Slipspace in error, courtesy of a radiation leak, and sends out a distress beacon. The beacon is futile, however, as the ship is attacked and captured by a Covenant vessel.[10]
- September 3rd: Horn of Plenty's navigation box is retrieved by Covenant forces and its contents are analyzed by the Huragok Lighter Than Some. Lighter Than Some finds the vessel's point of origin. The Covenant ship, Minor Transgression, heads off to obtain more spoils.[11]

- Late December: The Prophet of Restraint impregnates a female San'Shyuum, despite his defective genes making it illegal for him to reproduce. With the mother refusing an abortion, a scandal starts brewing over the issue.[15]
- Minor Transgression's crew launches a raid on the freighter This End Up, killing its captain, Henry Gibson. A while later, Sif reports the attack to al-Cygni, both realizing that it was the only ship in the area with a human crew.[16]
Unknown
- UNSC forces quell a colonial rebellion on Persia IX.[17]
- Office of the High Prophet of Restraint issues an Edict, following an incident with the Kig-Yar ship Pitiless, that teams of Unggoy and Sangheili are to search all Kig-Yar vessels for evidence of "Unclean Beings". [18]
Notes
- ^ The journal entry is dated November 17, 2524, and Halsey writes as though the events occurred recently. However, Miranda Keyes was born February 28, 2525, which would place the date of their rendezvous in late May or early June 2524. Although Halsey often went months and even years without writing in her journal, there is another entry in August which makes no mention of the incident or her pregnancy. It is therefore possible that the date of the journal entry is anachronistic, and should be dated five months earlier.
