'''Liberation of Faraday''' is the seventeenth mission of ''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]''. 

==Introduction==
Despite the chaos, some [[Merg Vol's Covenant|Covenant]] forces remained rooted in strategic locations within the area around [[Faraday Base]]. The few surviving [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] and base staff had set up defensive positions in the western sector of the facility, preparing for a last stand against the increasing influx of Covenant.

[[SPARTAN-IV program|SPARTAN]] [[Sarah Palmer|Palmer]] arrived at the base's perimeter moments before the Marines would be overrun. Around the base, Palmer managed to secure several [[M313 Elephant|Elephants]]. She then needed to relieve the besieged Marines and get them out of their predicament.

==Objectives==
===Reach and defend the groups of pinned down UNSC forces===
[[Sarah Palmer|Spartan Sarah Palmer]] is standing in the ruins of [[Faraday Base]] with many destroyed vehicles around. She moves into the base and encounters [[Merg Vol's Covenant|Covenant]] forces. She is attacked by several [[Sangheili Minor]]s and [[Kig-Yar Minor]]s. As she fights her way through the base, the ground begins to shake. After the first group, she kills a second group of Sangheili and Kig-Yar warriors. Shortly after, Palmer discovers the first group of surviving [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] at the edge of a cliff. However, the humans are soon attacked by more Sangheili and [[Jiralhanae Jumper]] lands nearby. Once all Covenant forces are eliminated, the three Marines leave the area and Palmer continues north. After killing a [[lance]] of Kig-Yar, the Spartan discovers the second group of Marines under attack by Sangheili and Kig-Yar forces. After meeting with the second group of Marines, they are quickly attacked by numerous Sangheili, Kig-Yar, Jiralhanae, and a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]]. After a long battle, the Covenant forces are eliminated and the Marines retreat south.

As Palmer advances north in another section of Faraday Base, she encounters more Sangheili and Kig-Yar forces, as well as two unmanned {{Pattern|Karo'etba|Ghost}}s. After encountering the third group of Marine survivors, they are attacked by large amounts of Sangheili, Kig-Yar, and Jumper Brutes. If left untouched, several Sangheili begin to operate the previously encountered Ghosts. However, after a massive firefight, the Marines and Palmer defeat the Covenant forces in the area.

===Escort the remaining survivors to the extraction point===
Palmer leads the surviving Marines north to an extraction point, fighting past Kig-Yar and Sangheili forces along the way. As they continue north, an [[Unggoy Minor]] manning a {{Pattern|Mamua'uda|Shade}} attacks the group, but he is quickly killed. Eventually, Palmer and the Marines make their way to a room inside the base with an [[M313 Elephant]] nearby. With Marines outside of it ordering the others to get aboard, the Marines and the Spartan board the Elephant.
