In 2557, the {{UNSCShip|Taurokado}} was dispatched by the Office of Naval Intelligence to search for evidence of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}, with [[SPARTAN-IV|Spartan]] [[Fireteam Apollo]] embarked. At 0221 hours ([[Military Standard Time|MST]]) on June 8, it arrived in the [[Korinth Prior system]]. There, it encountered a debris field in orbit around a [[Wikipedia:K-type main-sequence star|K-type dwarf star]]. ''Taurokado'' conducted scans which showed that this debris field was composed of 94% naturally-occurring materials and 4% [[Forerunner]] materials, with 2% untraceable, and that of detritus size, 9% neared the scale of small lunar satellites while 84% were the size of the ship or smaller. ''Taurokado''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s sensors also revealed that low-level shielding sporadically surrounded structures of Forerunner origins. | In 2557, the {{UNSCShip|Taurokado}} was dispatched by the Office of Naval Intelligence to search for evidence of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}, with [[SPARTAN-IV|Spartan]] [[Fireteam Apollo]] embarked.

At 0924 hours (MST), ''Taurokado'' commenced site surveys of identified Forerunner structures. Fireteam Apollo was deployed to investigate a number of these structures. At one, designated "Site 012", Apollo uncovered configurations matching the [[Sarcophagus]] at [[Onyx]]. At "Site 042" they confirmed that the debris had formerly been a [[shield world]]. Apollo also found evidence of Forerunner {{Class|Sojourner|dreadnought}}s and a [[Flood]] infestation at "Site 029" and "Site 021", respectively. At "Site 037", Apollo recovered identifiable [[human]] materials. Analysis confirmed that these had belonged to the ''Spirit of Fire'', including war materiel and [[Titanium-A armor|Titanium-A battleplating]]. However, no evidence of survivors was detected by either Apollo or ''Taurokado''. | At 0924 hours (MST), ''Taurokado'' commenced site surveys of identified Forerunner structures.

Fireteam Apollo was distaptched in [[F-41 Broadsword]] fighters to intercept the enemy. After dispatching two waves of [[Type-31 Seraph]] fighters, Apollo fell back to the ''Taurokado''. At 1714 hours (MST), the ''Taurokado'' released sensor buoy "B89-7" and [[Slipstream space|slipped]] from the system, in accordance with protocol.<ref name="lootcrate4"/> | ||

Roughly two weeks later, [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] [[Turkish]] compiled ''Taurokado''’s mission log into an [[After Action Report Q74S295-LR|after-action report]] for [[Hugo Barton]], recommending an asset-denial or counter force operation in the system to deny the Covenant access to any Forerunner technology found there. | Roughly two weeks later, [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] [[Turkish]] compiled ''Taurokado''’s mission log into an [[After Action Report Q74S295-LR|after-action report]] for [[Hugo Barton]], recommending an asset-denial or counter force operation in the system to deny the Covenant access to any Forerunner technology found there. | ||
