On February 4 of that year the ship arrived at [[Harvest]] in the [[Epsilon Indi]] system with intent to survey the situation on the planet and to aid the {{UNSCship|Prophecy}}, a {{Class|Marathon|heavy cruiser}} that had been crippled in battle with the [[Covenant]]'s [[Fleet of Glorious Interdiction]]. Fire Team India was among four marine units that were scrambled to board the ''Prophecy'' in the midst of an ongoing fight with a few Covenant ships. All together, fire teams India, [[Fire Team Echo|Echo]], [[Fire Team Lima|Lima]], and [[Fire Team November|November]] were able to successfully purge the navigation database of the ''Prophecy'' and rescue those survivors that remained aboard, though these all died shortly thereafter as a result of radiation poisoning contracted during time spent on the damaged ship.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars: Genesis]]'''</ref> | ||

India and another recon team, Recon Team Echo, were tasked with the scouting of potential sites for the establishment of [[firebase]]s. The team made the journey over the alien planet's terrain in an [[M312 Elephant]]. After halting their progress and beginning to unpack the mobile platform, the recon team came under attack from a [[Flood|parasitic lifeform]]. A member of India was in the middle of communicating with the ''Spirit of Fire'' when he and the rest of the team were consumed by the creatures.<ref>''[[Halo Wars]]'' campaign level, ''[[Anders' Signal]]''</ref> | ||
Following the destruction of the installation known to the [[Forerunners]] as [[ | Following the destruction of the installation known to the [[Forerunners]] as the [[Etran Harborage]], those that remained of India Company entered [[cryostasis]] due to the sacrifice of the ''Spirit'''s [[slipspace drive]] to deny the [[shield world]]'s treasures to the Covenant. For over twenty-eight years the marines slept until on [[2559#March|March 28, 2559]], they were awakened with the rest of those aboard by a subroutine left behind by the former shipboard [[A.I.]], [[Serina]]. Just over a month later, [[Captain]] [[James Cutter]] authorized India Company to reinforce [[Sunray 1-1]], an elite team of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] from [[Boomerang Company]], during [[Operation: SPEARBREAKER]].<ref>''[[Halo Wars 2]]'' campaign level, [[Gatecrashers]]</ref> On May 1, the marines fought the forces of the [[Banished]] and Forerunner [[sentinel]] constructs on [[Installation 00]] during the operation. With help from Sunray 1-1, they were able to prevent the [[Mgalekgolo]] pair known as [[Colony]] from launching a Forerunner {{Class|Despair|fighter}} at the ''Spirit of Fire''.<ref>''[[Halo Wars 2]]'' campaign level, [[Not on My Watch]]</ref> | ||
