Battle
Early actions
On November 1, 2525, the UNSC went to full alert and stripped the CMA of its forces, giving them to NAVCOM and UNICOM.[1] On the 27th of the same month, Chi Ceti IV was assaulted by a Covenant ship at the same time Spartan-II forces were receiving their Mjolnir Powered Assault Armor. Almost immediately after, the SPARTANs were reassigned to fight the Covenant at Alpha Corvi II.
The first year
The beginning of 2526 saw the destruction of Bliss.[5] Soon after in March, Preston Cole in charge of Battle Group X-Ray fought the Covenant off over Harvest.[6] Soon after, the Battle of Biko and Operation: SILENT STORM began.[7]
