Catherine-B320: Difference between revisions

The SPARTANs of Noble Team participate in an operation to investigate a communications blackout at the [[Visegrád Relay]], a mission that led to the first confrontation with Covenant forces on the planet.<ref name="ReferenceA">'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level, ''[[Winter Contingency]]''</ref> In the operation, Kat recovered a data module containing [[Laszlo Sorvad]]'s "latchkey discovery" from the Relay's console and uncovered an unfortunate discovery; the Covenant has successfully deployed their forces on Reach.{{Ref/Reuse|ReferenceA}} The discovery led the team to [[SWORD Base]], currently under siege by Covenant forces and their [[SDV-class heavy corvette|corvette]].<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level, ''[[ONI: Sword Base]]''</ref> Kat and Noble Six engaged the Covenant forces on foot and repelled them off the site and the [[Airview Base|airbase]]. The team was debriefed by [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] following the attack, and Kat returned the module containing Sorvad's data.

Intelligence gathered from Noble Six and Jun-A266's reconnaissance mission lead to a large-scale UNSC assault on a Covenant-occupied site.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level, ''[[Tip of the Spear]]''</ref> Kat and Noble Six engaged Covenant forces on the groundside while other members of Noble Team provided aerial support. Noble Six assisted Kat in reconnaissance of the Covenant-occupied site, destroying [[Type-38 Anti-Aircraft Cannon|multiple aerial defenses]] and unveiling a large Covenant installation codenamed [[Spire One]].

The destruction of the {{UNSCShip|Grafton}} by a Covenant {{Class|CSO|supercarrier}}, ''[[Long Night of Solace]]'', after the [[Battle at Szurdok Ridge]] prompted Carter and Kat to reassess the situation. Recognizing the presence of the supercarrier as a large threat, Kat suggested to Noble Team to reconfigure a [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|slipspace engine]] into a makeshift slipspace bomb, which would destroy the supercarrier immediately.{{Ref/Reuse|Lnos}} Carter, along with Kat, [[Jorge-052]] and SPARTAN-B312, helped UNSC ground forces repel Covenant invaders from a UNSC base, which housed the [[Sabre Program Launch/Research Range]]. Noble Team was separated from this point, with Jorge and Noble Six participating in [[Operation: UPPER CUT]] while the rest focused on groundside operations.<ref name="Lnos">'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level, ''[[Long Night of Solace]]''</ref>

At some point during the Fall of Reach, Kat and the remaining members of Noble Team assisted the UNSC in repelling the Covenant from civilian population centers. They reunited with Noble Six during the [[Siege of New Alexandria|Siege]] of [[New Alexandria (location)|New Alexandria]] and helped in the neutralization of Covenant jammers and the evacuation of ONI personnel.{{Ref/Reuse|alex}} Soon, Noble Team was hailed by its superior, [[Colonel]] [[Urban Holland]], and was ordered to destroy Sword Base. The team was forced to enter a radiation bunker to shield them from the Covenant's glassing of New Alexandria. As Noble Team exited the elevator and ran towards the bunker, a [[Sangheili Field Marshal]] of the [[Devoted Sentries]] in a [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantom]] overhead shot Kat through the head with a [[Type-31 Rifle|needle rifle]], killing her instantly. When the surviving members of Noble Team were extracted on [[2552#August|August 26]], Carter carried her body out of the bunker.<ref name="alex">'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level, ''[[New Alexandria]]''</ref>
