To better prepare themselves for the operation, the twelve [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-IIs]] were equipped with emergency patching kits, extra thruster packs, and locator beacons - all lessons learned from their recent [[Battle of Chi Ceti|engagement]] at [[Chi Ceti IV]]. Their [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|MJOLNIR armor]] had been temporarily modified, with each suit including unique features to their titanium alloy frame that better optimized each Spartan's unique skills. The same refractive coating used on [[prowler]]s was also applied to make them harder to detect. In addition, four other prowlers were on stand-by to conduct rescue operations.{{Ref/Reuse|HSSC1}} | ||

The battle began after the [[UNSC]] prowler ''[[UNSC Starry Night|Starry Night]]'' observed the ''[[Radiant Arrow]]'' orbiting [[Netherop]] for more than a day, when the prowler conducted a slingshot maneuver to launch the twelve SPARTAN-IIs towards the [[Covenant frigate]] at a distance of more than eighty kilometers.{{Ref/Reuse|HSSC1}} The Spartans eventually shadowed a squadron of five | The battle began after the [[UNSC]] prowler ''[[UNSC Starry Night|Starry Night]]'' observed the ''[[Radiant Arrow]]'' orbiting [[Netherop]] for more than a day, when the prowler conducted a slingshot maneuver to launch the twelve SPARTAN-IIs towards the [[Covenant frigate]] at a distance of more than eighty kilometers.{{Ref/Reuse|HSSC1}} The Spartans eventually shadowed a squadron of five [[Type-27 Banshee]]s, and infiltrated the frigate after following them into a maintenance hangar. They swiftly dispatched all enemy pilots and crew-members there, without raising an alarm.<ref name="HSSC2">'''Halo: Silent Storm''', ''Chapter 2''</ref> | ||
As they were still undetected, the Spartans split into their preassigned teams. [[Blue Team|Blue]] and [[Green Team]]s took to systematically clear each compartment of Covenant troops, while [[Gold Team]] collected and dropped off captured material for later retrieval. Part-way into the mission, an [[Insurrectionist]] disguised as a prowler sensor operator revealed the Spartans' presence to the Covenant by transmitting a report over an unsecured [[COM|SQUADCOM]] channel.<ref name="HSSC3">'''Halo: Silent Storm''', ''Chapter 3''</ref> | As they were still undetected, the Spartans split into their preassigned teams.
