A conflict arose on the human colony of Gao over the access to Forerunner technology on the planet.

Prelude

In 2553, a UNSC research battalion escorted by the Spartans of Blue Team arrived on the planet Gao investigating the rumors about the therapeutic effects and miraculous cures found inside a vast cavern system on the planet. The research battalion's arrival was followed by several brutal murders of Gao natives in the caverns, prompting the Gao Ministry of Protection to dispatch Special Inspector Veta Lopis to investigate. However, the situation escalated into an all-out crisis when Insurrectionist sympathizers within Gao's government sought to take control of Forerunner artifacts located on the planet and allied with a Covenant faction to accomplish their goals.
