'''Narrator:'''October 20th, 2552: Ten Twenty, the date the [[Covenant]] first arrived on [[Earth]]. Although this date remains important, the seeds of the [[Battle of Earth|invasion of Earth]] were planted well before it. Not long prior to the discovery of [[Installation 04|Halo]], the [[Prophet of Truth]] learned of a [[Portal at Voi|portal]] which could lead the Covenant to the [[Ark]], the key to their "[[Great Journey]]". This gateway had remained hidden for a hundred-thousand years just below the surface of Earth. Soon after, Truth began secretly [[Unyielding Hierophant|amassing]] [[Truth's fleet|a fleet of over five-hundred ships]], all preparing to attack humanity's homeworld. Reports indicate that a [[Blue Team|detachment]] of [[SPARTAN II|Spartans]] uncovered this plot. On September 13th, these Spartans [[Operation: FIRST STRIKE|lead]] a [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Gettysburg|strike]]-[[Ascendant Justice|force]] to destroy this fleet, temporarily halting Truth's plans for Earth. But another [[Hierarchs|Hierarch]], the [[Prophet of Regret]], had far different plans.... Ignorant to humanity's presence on Earth, Regret did not hesitate to bring [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration|his own fleet]] to the planet, hoping to quickly locate the ancient gateway. However, when he arrived on October 20th the Prophet soon found himself outnumbered and outgunned and was eventually forced to flee, destroying most of [[New Mombassa]] in the process. Hours later, Truth was able to salvage this botched invasion, sending his infantry to the Earth's surface to continue where Regret had left off. Ten Twenty, and the days which followed it, marked a time of both fear and hope for the UNSC. While the unearthing of the Ark's gateway would be dark and foreboding, its destination offered an end to the Covenant and the key to humanity's survival.
