'''2525''' was the year in the 2520s in the 26th century. It was a year that saw the start of the [[Human-Covenant War]], which would become a twenty-seven year long engagement between the [[Covenant|Covenant Empire]] and the [[United Nations Space Command]]. The war began after [[First Battle of Harvest|first contact]] between the belligerents at the [[human]] [[Outer Colony]] of Harvest. The emergence of the Covenant threat prompted the training of the [[Spartan-II]] supersoldiers to be accelerated and [[Blue Team|a group]] of them were selected for their [[Operation: TALON|very first live combat mission]] in September of this year, an operation to capture the [[United Rebel Front]] colonel, [[Robert Watts]]. | |||
