Mission 6: Siege of Faraday

Siege of Faraday is the sixth mission of Halo: Spartan Assault.

Introduction
Although Spartan Palmer was successful in warning Draetheus-V of the coming attack, the Covenant assault hit the colonies' defenses like a tidal wave. Draetheus-V's main outpost. Faraday Base, was located on the border of an expanse of dense vegetation to the north and an enormous rock plateau to the south.

When the Covenant invasion force eventually arrived, the first defense lines surrounding Faraday were quickly breached before the base's sentry turrets were fully operational. Palmer took to the field and almost singlehandedly held off the waves of Unggoy suicide units crashing down on the thick concrete wall behind the defense lines.

Prevent the Covenant from breaking through the doors
Spartan Sarah Palmer and several UNSC Marines are defending Faraday Base from Covenant attackers. A Type-26 Banshee flies overhead as the UNSC military base fires rockets at Covenant aircraft. Palmer and the Marines are attacked by several waves of Unggoy, usually consisting of suicidal Unggoy Minors led by an Unggoy Major. To aid the Spartan, several of the Marines man machine guns to hep defend Faraday. Soon, several Sangheili Minors—some of which are deployed from Covenant drop pods—arrive to help the Unggoy breach the base's walls. After preventing several waves of Covenant forces from breaching the walls, no more Covenant forces are deployed to Faraday.

Eliminate remaining enemy opposition
With the attack on Faraday Base prevented by Palmer and the Marines, the few surviving Covenant attempt to kill the UNSC survivors. With the aid of the Marines, Palmer succeeds in destroying the remaining Sangheili and Unggoy forces around Faraday.
