'''UNSC ''Taurokado''''' is a heavy [[prowler]] operated by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]. In [[2557]], it [[Mission to the Korinth Prior system|investigated]] the remains of [[Trove]].<ref name="lootcrate4">'''[[Halo Legendary Crate]]''', ''[[Halo Legendary Crate/Data Drops|Data Drop #4]]''</ref>

==History==
In 2557, the ''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.{{Ref/Reuse|lootcrate4}} 

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 similar structures found at [[Onyx]]'s [[Sarcophagus]]. At "Site 042" they confirmed that the debris had formerly been a [[shield world]]. Apollo also found evidence of [[Sojourner-class dreadnought|''Sojourner''-class]] [[Forerunner 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''.{{Ref/Reuse|lootcrate4}}

At 1642 hours (MST), ''Taurokado'' made contact with a hostile [[Covenant remnants|Covenant]] [[battle group]]. Fireteam Apollo was dispatched 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/Reuse|lootcrate4}}

On June 21, 2557, [[AI]] [[Turkish]] submitted an [[Wikipedia:After action report|after action report]] of ''Taurokado''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s mission ([[After Action Report Q74S295-LR|AAR Q74S295-LR]]) to [[Hugo Barton]], the director of [[Shield World 006|ONI Research Facility Trevelyan]]. Based on this report, it was concluded that there was a 99 per cent chance that the ''Spirit of Fire'' had visited the Korinth Prior system but a 12 per cent chance that it had escaped destruction there.{{Ref/Reuse|lootcrate4}}
