During the Battle of Miridem, Catherine Halsey was captured by the Covenant while in [[Cryonics|cryogenic suspension]] as the evacuation ship carrying her was seized by the Covenant forces, leaving Halsey as the only survivor. The [[Cryo chamber|cryo pod]] was taken aboard an [[CAS-class assault carrier|assault carrier]]. The Covenant recognized the prisoner's value and placed decoys on escorting {{class|CCS|battlecruiser}}s to hamper any UNSC rescue attempts. The Covenant fleet however, became trapped in a stellar magnetic field that prevented them from jumping to [[Slipstream space|slipspace]].

The UNSC used this to their advantage, and organized an [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]-led operation to rescue Halsey, who was an invaluable asset to the UNSC, and sent the ONI [[prowler]] [[PRO-49776]], commanded by [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Lucius R. Jiron]], to intercept the Covenant fleet. On board was a team of [[SPARTAN-II]] supersoldiers consisting of [[John-117]], [[Frederic-104]], [[Kelly-087]], [[Solomon-069]] and [[Arthur-079]]. The Spartans were each to utilize an [[Open Frame 92/Extra-Vehicular Activity]], or "Booster Frame", to infiltrate the fleet and effect a rescue. Intelligence did not believe the Covenant were aware of Halsey's significance. Nonetheless, if the five Spartans failed the UNSC was prepared to liquidate the doctor by attacking the enemy fleet.<ref name="Pack">'''[[Halo Legends]]''': ''[[The Package]]''</ref>
