Born on the [[human]] [[Outer Colony]] of [[Gao]], Petora Zoyas was once an active [[insurrectionist]] fighting against the [[Unified Earth Government]]'s control of Gao. Following the [[Human-Covenant War]] | Born on the [[human]] [[Outer Colony]] of [[Gao]], Petora Zoyas was once an active [[insurrectionist]] fighting against the [[Unified Earth Government]]'s control of Gao. During the [[Insurrection]], she was part of the [[Gao Liberation Force]] (GLF), and worked alongside the [[Venezian Militia]] several times. In early [[2526]], Petora was chosen as the GLF's envoy, sent to a meeting organised by URF General [[Harper Garvin]] and captain of the privateer frigate ''[[Bellicose]]'', [[Lyrenne Castilla]]. There, Petora provided the insurrectionist coalition with the GLF's information on the [[SPARTAN-II program]] and [[Operation: SILENT STORM]] thanks to the GLF's agent inside [[Task Force Yama]].<ref name="SS6">''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]'', Chapter 6</ref> | ||
Petora was later present at the rebel coalition force's base in the [[Seoba ice quarry]], and was one of a number of insurrectionists captured by the UNSC following a brutal [[Battle of Seoba|assault]]. When [[John-117]] identified General Garvin and ordered him to step forward, Petora tried to present herself to save the general, attempting to flirt with the SPARTAN to distract him from his objective. The SPARTAN responded by picking Zoyas up by her tunic lapels and threatening her with execution as per the [[UNSC Military Code of Conduct]], though released her once Garvin identified himself.<ref name="SS13">''Halo: Silent Storm'', Chapter 13</ref> | |||
Following the the insurrectionists' escape from UNSC forces, thanks to the rebel-allied crew of the ''[[Emmeline]]'', Petora found herself involved in the crisis that developed following the [[Battle of Biko]]. When General Garvin arranged to meet with [[Sangheili]] [[Tel 'Szatulai]], [[Biko Independence Army]] Commandant [[Erland Booth]] attempted to arm a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]], intending to use it to try and threaten the Covenant into halting their attack on Biko. The Sangheili killed the man with the nuke, and Petora took the weapon from him before asking if anyone knew how to disarm it. Once it was disarmed, it was given to the Sangheili, who motioned for Petora to join him, considering her intelligent enough to operate a supraluminal communicator.<ref name="SS18">''Halo: Silent Storm'', Chapter 18</ref> | |||
Petora evidently survived her time in 'Szatulai's service, and later following the [[Human-Covenant War]] served as a cave guide for the tourists visiting the [[Montero Cave System]] in the [[Montero]] region on Gao. However, she maintained communication with [[Minister of Protection]] [[Arlo Casille]], a Gao politician who secretly harbored insurrectionist sympathies and anti-UEG views. She evidently had some influence within Gao's [[Committee to Preserve Gao Independence]], a radical independence organization.<ref name="ll146"/> | |||
