Operation: PHALANX was an operation of the United Nations Space Command on Circinius IV during the Human-Covenant War at some point between 2526 and 2552. The operation saw the evacuation of civilians and observation of Covenant invasion patterns on the planet, utilizing intelligence gained from Operation: ABLE SENTRY's UNSC Marine force reconnaissance units. At least one Spartan-IIJohn-117—participated in the operation.[2]

TriviaEdit

In Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, John-117 tells the survivors of Hastati Squad that they are the only survivors on the planet.[3] As the film is set during the Covenant's initial attack on Circinius IV, the presence of other survivors afterward ostensibly creates a contradiction. However, it can be assumed that Blue Team was operating on limited information at the time, or that the other survivors were only discovered later.
