m (Pete Stacker was NOT involved in the Battle for the Control Room - he was however present at the flood containment facility as part of the second squad. - Those who say otherwise need to play Halo again.)

Stacker was one of the many Marines who crash-landed on [[Installation 04]] following the boarding of the ''Pillar of Autumn'' and [[Jacob Keyes|Captain Keyes']] subsequent order for all personnel to evacuate the ship. His [[Bumblebee|lifeboat]] made a hard landing in a valley near a [[beam emitter]] on the ring world.<ref name="halo">'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level ''[[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|Halo]]'' - ''"Reunion Tour"''</ref> Most of his men survived the crash, but they were soon found by [[Covenant]] forces. Stacker and his team took shelter in the hills near the beam emitter and fought the Covenant from there, several of the Marines becoming wounded. Fortunately, Stacker and his men were  rescued by [[John-117]] and evacuated by ''[[Echo 419]]''.

Stacker was in command of a five-man fireteam, which was shot down in a snowy valley while on patrol.<ref name="aotcr">'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level ''[[Assault on the Control Room]]'' - ''"I Would Have Been Your Daddy..."''</ref> They soon came under attack from a [[Mgalekgolo]] pair, and lacking sufficient weaponry to bring the aliens down, were forced to retreat. Immediately afterwards, they were found by John-117, who had also found [[Fire Team Zulu]] during his push though the area to find the Installation's [[Control Room (Installation 04)|control room]]. Both Marine fire teams helped the SPARTAN to clear the area, allowing them to be extracted while the Chief continued towards the control room.
As the guerrilla campaign ensured Stacker lead the charge on the beach head on the Silent Cartographer. Echo-419 and another pelican (Either Echo 206 or Bravo-022) dropped two separate teams which charged a surprised covenant force taking a landing zone and the beach. Stacker remained behind with Second Squad whilst the Chief proceeded with an unnamed Corporal and Corporal [[Hosky]]. As the Chief and Cortana raced to unlock the Map Room, Stacker's stay-behind team was attacked by covenant drop-ships. Despite this, he somehow survived, likely being evacuated by Echo-206, as Bravo-022 had been shot down.
 
Stacker later took part in the search for the Covenant Weapons Cache as part of Corporal Loviks squad. The large team of which, lost contact with Keyes and Johnson's squad at some point and headed to the rendezvous point before being ambushed by the flood. When the Master Chief arrived via the lift, the marines pushed through the swamp battling waves of flood forms, Stacker was armed with a shotgun and was one of the very few marines who survived long enough until Sentinels arrived. He along with the remaining marines were most likely evacuated by Echo-419 after the SPARTAN was teleported to the Library.


Eventually Stacker managed to find a way to escape from Installation 04 before its destruction by the Master Chief. He was able to return to Earth by [[2552|October 20th]].
