| In [[2526#March|March 2526]], [[Task Force Yama]]—including the ''Black Widow''—was split off from the rest of [[Vice Admiral]] [[Preston Cole]]'s [[Battle Group X-Ray]] and given a new mission. [[Operation: SILENT STORM]] would have [[prowler]] [[task force]] escort twelve [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-IIs]] and the [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] of the [[21st Space Assault Battalion]] into battle against the [[Covenant]] [[Covenant fleet|fleet]], with the intent of inserting them onto the alien vessels and destroying them from the inside. This would hopefully slow their [[Massacre of the Outer Colonies|destructive advance]] through the [[Outer Colonies]] while the [[UNSC]] formulated a plan to effectively combat this new threat.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS5}}

| ===Battle of Seoba===
| | In [[2526]], the ''Black Widow'' served as the command ship of [[Sierra Force]], a component of [[Task Force Yama]]. [[Blue Team]] was assigned to the ship.<ref name="HSS23">'''Halo: Silent Storm''', ''Chapter 23''</ref> |
| {{Main|Battle of Seoba}}
| |
| It was decided that Task Force Yama would wait for [[Fleet of Inexorable Obedience|a Covenant fleet]] at [[Seoba]], one of [[Biko]]'s [[Natural satellite|moon]]s. However, when the task force arrived on [[2526#March|March 18]], they discovered [[insurrectionist]]s entrenched in the very same [[Seoba Ice Quarry|quarry]] that the UNSC had chosen to be their staging ground for the operation.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS7|HSS|Chapter=7}} The [[Battle of Seoba|ensuing battle]] ended in the UNSC's favor, with Task Force Yama taking control of the quarry and capturing a number of insurgents, including [[General]] [[Harper Garvin]] of the [[United Rebel Front]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS10|HSS|Chapter=10}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS13|HSS|Chapter=13}}

|
| The next day, the captured insurrectionists were being loaded onto the ''[[Emmeline]]'', a {{Class|Banta|transport}} that would take them to Biko to be put on trial. However, [[Bloodstar Flotilla|a Covenant flotilla]] arrived and began assaulting the quarry. The ''Black Widow'' and the rest of the task force were deployed immediately to challenge these vessels.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS13}} When the ''Emmeline'' launched a few minutes later, it was fired upon by the flotilla,{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS14|HSS|Chapter=14}} but none of the shots landed.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS17|HSS|Chapter=17}} Following the end of the battle, the ''Black Widow'' recorded the transport breaking Seoba's orbit on one of her combat cameras, confirming that the prisoner transport never made it to Biko. This made [[Colonel]] [[Marmon Crowther]] of the 21st Space Assault Battalion even more suspicious of [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Hector Nyeto]], whose personnel made up the ''Emmeline''{{'}}s flight crew.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS17}}
