Six months before the onset of the battle in [[2557#July|July 2557]], the [[Forerunner]] [[Promethean]] supreme commander known as the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]] had been inadvertently awakened from his [[Cryptum]] on Requiem and immediately initiated a campaign against humanity, which he saw as unworthy of taking on the [[Mantle]]. Revering the Forerunner as a living god, [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|revived Covenant faction]] under the leadership of [[Jul 'Mdama]] allied themselves with the Didact and his mechanical Promethean armies. The Didact was eventually [[New Phoenix Incident|defeated]] by [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[John-117]] above [[Earth]], leaving the Prometheans without a leader, yet still hostile to humanity. The Prometheans and the Covenant continued to occupy Requiem, which humanity recognized as a site of great value due to the abundance of Forerunner artifacts contained therein, particularly a digital personality impression of the [[Librarian]] encountered by the Master Chief during the initial foray on the shield world. As a result, the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, the most advanced warship in the [[UNSC Navy|Navy]], was dispatched to establish research facilities on the Forerunner construct and eliminate any opposition from the occupying Promethean and Covenant forces.<ref name="s1e1">'''[[Spartan Ops]]''', [[S1/Departure|S1E1 ''Departure'']]</ref> | Six months before the onset of the battle in [[2557#July|July 2557]], the [[Forerunner]] [[Promethean]] supreme commander known as the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]] had been inadvertently awakened from his [[Cryptum]] on Requiem and immediately initiated a campaign against humanity, which he saw as unworthy of taking on the [[Mantle]].
