The Battle of Galileo Base is a battle taking place during the Requiem Campaign when Jul 'Mdama's Covenant and the Prometheans attacked the UNSC's Galileo Base.

Prelude

In February 2558, as Doctor Catherine Halsey studied one of the Requiem slipspace artifacts aboard the UNSC Infinity, she was contacted by Covenant Supreme Leader Jul 'Mdama in secret. 'Mdama suggested that they could help each other and questioned what Halsey knew of the Prometheans. After a failed attempt to get useful information out of Spartan Gabriel Thorne,[1] 'Mdama promised to provide her with proof of the true nature of the Prometheans which Halsey had been kept unaware of.[2]

During these events, following a successful tap into the Forerunner communication network utilized by Covenant forces,[3] Fireteam Crimson was sent to chase 'Mdama through Requiem portal system.[4][5] After Crimson chased him to "the Cauldron," 'Mdama purposefully dropped "the Didact's Gift," a Durance containing the "soul" of a Promethean Knight: a human digitized by the Composer during the New Phoenix Incident six months before. 'Mdama's intention was for Halsey to receive the Gift as the proof while making it appear that he had dropped it by accident while fleeing Crimson's pursuit. As planned, Crimson recovered "the Didact's Gift" and were ordered to transport it to Galileo Base for study before it would be transported to the Infinity.[6][2]
