The '''Raid on Camp New Hope''' was an action which took place on May 1, [[2531]], during which a five [[SPARTAN-II]] supersoldiers, known as [[Blue Team]], infiltrated the [[Insurrectionist]] [[Camp New Hope]] on the [[UNSC]] colony world of [[Victoria]], in the [[111 Tauri | The '''Raid on Camp New Hope''' was an action which took place on May 1, [[2531]], during which a five [[SPARTAN-II]] supersoldiers, known as [[Blue Team]], infiltrated the [[Insurrectionist]] [[Camp New Hope]] on the [[UNSC]] colony world of [[Victoria]], in the [[111 Tauri system]]. It was a UNSC victory as the SPARTANs recovered three nuclear weapons, neutralized numerous rebel personnel, and escaped without a single casualty. | ||

By 2531, Insurrectionists had repeatedly had their operations disrupted by a four-man team of Spartan-II supersoldiers known as [[Blue Team]]. The team disrupted Insurrectionist operations at [[Station Jefferson]], onboard the [[UNSC destroyer|destroyer]] ''[[Origami]]'', in [[wikipedia:Micronesia|Micronesia]], and at a high-explosives manufacturing facility at an unspecified location.

Blue Team was also involved in interfering with a saboteur cell on [[Reach]]. <ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''pages 36-37''</ref> In response to Blue Team's actions against them, the rebels gathered three [[FENRIS nuclear warhead]]s, stolen from the UNSC, at Camp New Hope. The means by which the warheads were assembled was not subtle, and the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] took notice of the congregation. The Insurrectionists contacted the UNSC, offering to trade the warheads in exchange for medicines for their people suffering from [[Boren's Syndrome]]. The UNSC, with its stockpiles depleted by the war with the [[Covenant]], agreed to this exchange. The Insurrection then set a trap for Blue Team, whom they anticipated would be sent to recover the warheads. | ||

There, the Insurrectionists successfully ambushed [[John-117]], [[Frederic-104]], [[Kelly-087]], and [[Linda-058]] using an [[antigravity plate]], giving the SPARTAN-IIs [[wikipedia:Decompression_sickness|decompression sickness]]. The four SPARTAN-IIs were fitted with [[Neural-Inhibitor Collar]]s so that they could be interrogated by rebel leader [[General]] [[Howard Graves]]. The rebels were unaware, however, of a fifth SPARTAN who had avoided the trap: new addition to the team, [[Kurt-051]]. Kurt was able to free the other members of Blue Team using a modified Warthog and several [[Asteroidea anti-personnel mine]]s. General Howard Graves was killed in the process. | ||
The freed Spartans loaded the three warheads into the Warthog and retreated from the base before the Insurrectionists could organize a proper counterattack. They were then picked up by a [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican dropship]] and left the system aboard the {{UNSCShip|Bunker Hill}}. | The freed Spartans loaded the three warheads into the Warthog and retreated from the base before the Insurrectionists could organize a proper counterattack.
