All three issues were released along with the first twelve issues of ''[[Halo: Escalation]]'' as part of the ''Halo: Escalation Library Edition'' on May 24, 2016.{{Ref/Reuse|amazonhe}}
Before she was a supersoldier defending humanity as part of the Spartan IV program, Sarah Palmer was an ODST carrying out the most dangerous missions behind enemy lines!
==Plot synopsis==
In [[2553#January|January 2553]], [[Commander]] [[Musa-096]], a former [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II]], has arranged an audience with several [[admiral]]s in [[HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6]]. Despite reprehending the morality of the SPARTAN-II Program, Musa stresses the importance of the Spartans in the [[Human-Covenant War|Covenant War]] and argues that they are still necessary, revealing that he has created [[SPARTAN-IV Program|a new generation]] of the supersoldiers. Three months earlier, in [[2552#October|October 2552]], a group of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|ODSTs]], including Sarah Palmer, are deployed on a planet under Covenant attack. On the surface, [[Admiral]] [[Kovalic]], protecting an important [[Artificial intelligence|AI]], is heading to an extraction point, but his [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle|Warthog]] is attacked by a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]]. Palmer's [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|drop pod]] lands nearby and she defends Kovalic from the Chieftain and other [[Covenant]] forces converging on their position. Even though she is wounded by a [[Type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher|Needler]] shard, Palmer eventually kills the Chieftain and saves the admiral. Three months later, while still recovering in a [[Lockhart medical station|UNSC medical facility]], Palmer is visited by [[Jun-A266]], who invites her to join the SPARTAN-IV Program.


A group of [[Insurrectionist]]s have stolen plans to the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. While some stand in disbelief, others feel it will be used to control the colonies; the leader, [[Ilsa Zane]], plans to take the ship for the Insurrectionists instead. Meanwhile, Sarah Palmer undergoes the augmentation procedures to become a SPARTAN-IV. Later, during a training exercise against several Marines, she rushes ahead of her Spartan-IV teammates, who are disabled in the process, to accomplish the objective. Jun-A266 and Musa-096 berate her for this, with the latter emphasizing the importance of Spartans working as a team. Later, while the new SPARTAN-IVs are given a tour of ''Infinity'' by [[Thomas Lasky]], the Insurrectionists make their way aboard the ship disguised as a construction crew. They take Captain Del Rio hostage and make their way to the bridge, taking control of the ship and hold the crew hostage. After realizing that the ship's AI, [[Aine]], has been shut down, Palmer decides to take the initiative and outfits herself with [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor]], picking the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/S variant#GEN2|Scout]] variant from the armor bay's limited selection of suits.
• The origin of Sarah Palmer and the Spartan IV program!


While the Spartan-IVs prepare to fend off the attackers, Jun explains Ilsa Zane's background: she is the only survivor of a secret, prototypical phase of the SPARTAN-IV program. Although her physical augmentations are superior to those of the mainline Spartan-IVs, they also made her mentally unstable, resulting in her defection. On the bridge, the Insurrectionists are attempting to gain full control of the ''Infinity''. As they detect the approaching Spartan-IVs, Zane activates S-deck's decompression system, ejecting several of the Spartans into space, with Thomas Lasky and Jun being saved by Palmer and Davis. Lasky contacts Captain Del Rio, while Palmer and Davis make their way for the ''Infinity'' bridge along the exterior hull of the ship. Zane sends a group of her henchmen to eliminate the rest of the Spartans, but Lasky manages to close a [[blast door]] between them. Meanwhile, Palmer and Davis storm the bridge, with Palmer facing off Zane in hand-to-hand combat while Davis takes on the rest of the insurgents. During the duel, Del Rio and the bridge crew enter the bridge and reactivate Aine, who opens the bridge's airlock. Palmer finally knocks Zane out, venting her into space. Later, an unconscious Zane is recovered by a [[UNSC prowler|prowler]] and wakes up to recognize an unknown individual. The narrative returns to Musa addressing the Admiralty. He states that the Spartans are to thank for exposing [[Admiral]] [[Mattius Drake]] and his rebel movement, the [[New Colonial Alliance]], as well as saving the ''Infinity'', and boldly declares the Spartans as an [[Spartan Operations|independent branch]].
• The Halo franchise has sales eclipsing $3 billion over its lifetime.

==Production notes==
==Production notes==
*In Issue 1 depicts Palmer's [[Strident-class heavy frigate|''Strident''-class frigate]] in the likeness of its low-detail campaign incarnation rather than the high-detail version seen in ''[[Spartan Ops]]''.
In Issue 2, when Palmer proceeds to don her MJOLNIR armor via one of the robotic assembly stations, she is erroneously [[:File:HI-SarahPalmer-ArmorUp.jpg|depicted]] as lacking the titanium nanocomposite bodysuit on which the "hard" armor components are affixed; she is only shown wearing the innermost [[:File:H4-Concept-Undersuit-Female.jpg|undersuit]].
*The same issue features several Grunts in [[Unggoy Storm#Storm|Storm]] armor and a Sangheili in [[Sangheili Warrior#Warrior|Warrior]] armor (both originating in ''Halo 4'') in a scene set during the Human-Covenant War. Despite this, the Brute chieftain Palmer fights resembles the class' ''[[Halo 3]]'' incarnation.

*In the first issue, Musa-096 states, "''It's two thousand years since Thermopylae.''" However, the [[Wikipedia:Battle of Thermopylae|Battle of Thermopylae]] took place in 480 BCE, more than 3000 years prior to Musa speaking these words in January 2553.
