On [[2531#February|February 9, 2531]], the ''Spirit of Fire'' arrives in the [[Procyon system]] to find Arcadia [[Battle for Arcadia|under attack]]. [[Serina]] reports that two {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}} emerged from [[slipspace]] and were confronted by the {{UNSCShip|Belfast}}, {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, {{UNSCShip|Texas}} and {{UNSCShip|Armstrong}}. Together, the four ships caught [[CCS-U321|one]] with its shields down and destroyed it while [[CCS-U624|the other]] destroyed the ''Texas'' and ''Belfast'' and left the ''Pillar of Autumn'' badly damaged and the ''Armstrong'' venting atmosphere before it engaged in surface activity. ''Spirit of Fire'' receives distress calls from the surface and Cutter quickly orders forces deployed to help out.

On Arcadia, forces led by Sergeant [[John Forge]] clear out the subway entrance and help to guard three [[Banta-class colony ship|cargo transports]] that are being used to evacuate civilians from the planet. ''[[Cargo 3]]'' attempts to take off early and is destroyed, but the ''Spirit of Fire's'' forces, aided by [[Spartan-II]] [[Red Team]], manage to evacuate hundreds of people onboard the remaining ships despite heavy resistence. With the civilians safe, Forge is ordered to fall back and regroup.
