Recovery teams would rescue Holly and two other survivors from Minab in [[2553]], two years after the Covenant assault on their mining operation. Holly Tanaka would come to enlist in the service of the [[UNSC Army]] some time soon after her repatriation.

[[Covenant remnants|Remnant]] factions of the former Covenant waged war with humanity even in the years following the [[Treaty of 2552]]. Many of these genocidal factions continued to follow Covenant wartime doctrine of glassing conquered human worlds. One such colony, [[Cleyell]], was attacked in 2556 by a remnant faction which glassed the planet in an artistic fashion, burning a myriad of [[Forerunner symbols|glyphs]] on its surface. UNSC forces that arrived on-scene determined that a single city on Cleyell's surface remained intact despite the furious plasma bombardment of the colony. Then a sergeant in the Army, Holly Tanaka was brought aboard {{UNSCShip|Cascadia}}, one ship to arrive in orbit shortly after Cleyell's glassing, to lend her expertise in recovering any survivors on the imperiled colony below. Sergeant Tanaka was ordered by the [[UNSC Navy|Navy]] to conduct a search and rescue mission down to Cleyell with a detachment of two [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]].<ref name="HE17"/> | [[Covenant remnants|Remnant]] factions of the former Covenant waged war with humanity even in the years following the [[Treaty of 2552]].
