On [[2526#March|March 19, 2526]], the Bloodstar Flotilla emerged from [[slipspace]] in the Kolaqoa system far outside of Biko's detection range, activating its [[active camouflage]] and approaching the planet without its [[Chancellor's Guards|defense force]] noticing.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS11}}{{Ref/Reuse|HSS12}} Despite the intrusion corvettes' cloaking, the flotilla was soon detected by the UNSC [[Task Force Yama|force]] that had recently [[Battle of Seoba|captured]] the rebels' [[Seoba Ice Quarry|ice quarry base]] on Seoba.

After 'Szatulai showed 'Budyasee what he was seeing, the two of them visited the stations toward the back of the bridge to confirm that the problem was with the sensors, rather than with the bridge crew. As he was certain that human vessels were indeed rising from the ice quarry that was their intended meeting location, 'Szatulai ordered all of the flotilla's vessel to fire on the quarry, despite the extreme range and apparent lack of targets. He hoped to damage and capture one of the [[Razor-class prowler|alarmingly advanced stealth vessels]] for study.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS12}} | ||

Noticing that his blind firing on the quarry had yielded the desired results, 'Szatulai ordered one of the flotilla's intrusion corvettes to secure the crash site and recover the stealth vessel for study. As the flotilla approached Seoba, it detected a human [[Emmeline|transport]] fleeing the quarry. All five corvettes fired on the transport as soared out of the atmosphere toward Biko. By the time the intrusion corvette reached the ''Starry Night''{{'}}s crash site, so had a team of twelve Spartans lead by [[John-117]]. Noticing the humans, the corvette began firing on them and deploying [[Extra-vehicular activity|EVA]]-equipped Sangheili, [[Jiralhanae]], and [[Kig-Yar]] warriors onto the stealth vessel via [[gravity lift]]. Meanwhile, [[Type-32 Ghost]]s and another intrusion corvette moved in to cut off the advancing Spartans. With few options available to them, John-117 had [[Blue Team|his team]] fire on the avalanche just below the ''Starry Night'' with their [[M301 grenade launcher|grenade launcher]]s, causing the vessel to tumble all the way to the quarry floor. This prevented the Covenant boarding party from gaining access to the prowler and the sensitive data held within its computers.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS14|HSS|Chapter=14}} | ||
