February

The UNSC Spirit of Fire played a pivotal role in the events of early 2531.

May

June

October

November

  • November 7th: Spartans Kurt-051, Kelly-087 and Fred-104 are dispatched to investigate Construction Platform 966A for suspected Rebel activity.[7] Kurt-051 experiences a thruster pack malfunction and is sent into interplanetary space. The Prowler UNSC Circumference and the Frigate UNSC Tannenberg start immediate rescue operations, however, after over 5 hours of searching, nearby Covenant activity forces the search to be terminated, and Kurt-051 is 'officially' declared MIA. In actuality the operation was a ruse: Kurt is picked up by Colonel James Ackerson and recruited to train his SPARTAN-IIIs.

December

  • December 14th: After being extracted by Colonel James Ackerson, Kurt-051 is briefed on the SPARTAN-III Project and given leadership over its implementation.[10]
  • December 19th: Nicole-458 is born.[11]
  • December 27th: 497 recruits arrive at Camp Currahee on Onyx beginning the Spartan III program under the command of Spartan-051 forming what will later become Alpha Company.[7]

Other events

  • Rear Admiral Cole is promoted to admiral upon his return to Earth and learns that a number of outlying colonies have been destroyed, leaving behind no survivors. He begins to move his fleet around, trying to intercept the invaders. Ground and ship-to-ship battles begin in earnest, raging throughout the Outer Colonies. [12]
  • The Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon is first encountered by UNSC forces.[13]
  • Spartan-II Blue Team disrupts Insurrectionist activity in Micronesia and breaks up a saboteur ring on Reach between November 2530 and May of this year.[7]
  • The MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/EOD variant enters service.[14]
  • The Assembly takes note of a "third participant" mentioned in the Covenant Battle Network during the battle for the Shield World, one which caused "irrational terror" for the Covenant. While presenting the possibility of contacting this third faction, they decide not to, due to the risks involved.[15]
  • In January or February, Spartan Daisy-023 and former Spartan Ralph-303 are killed during the Harvest Campaign.[16]
