   Entry settings

   Early ONI shadow war (2526–2536) conceived as successor to Operation: SILENT STORM. Focused on rapid, surgical strikes against Covenant non-combat assets — supply convoys, orbital depots, command spires, and high-caste support structures — to make every advance as costly as possible.

   Notable Past Missions:

   • 2528 – Raid on the Veil of Mercy: Infiltration of a Covenant missionary fleet; multiple vessels destroyed internally.
   • 2531 – Ashfall on Vespera Secundus: ODST drop sabotaged plasma refineries on a logistics moon, triggering chain explosions.
   • 2534 – Silence at Korinth Verge: Strike against a Covenant command outpost; elimination of advisory staff delayed regional planning.

   Faded in 2536 as Covenant forces overwhelmed the model.

   Entry settings

   Ongoing black program (2536–present) and one of several overlapping ONI efforts to bleed the Covenant through asymmetric warfare during the long siege of the Inner Colonies. Combines deep logistical sabotage with strategic misdirection. Autonomous strike teams (ODSTs/Rangers paired with Section-III) operate with broad target freedom. Delta-6 specialists divert Covenant fleets from UNSC strongholds, occasionally toward Insurrectionist worlds when tactically necessary.

   Over forty prowlers participate. The most active front is Captain Lev Horváth’s task force aboard the UNSC Dark of the Night: The Subtle Knife battalion, Foxtrot-8 detachment, and Spartan-III Headhunters Aspen-B336 and Suzu-B400.

   Recent Notable Missions:

   • Operation: PHANTOM VEIL (2550): Aspen & Suzu planted false nav data on a supply world, luring a battle group into asteroid ambush. Heavy Covenant losses.
   • Operation: RED HERON (2551): Misdirection steered fleet toward Insurrectionist enclave on Thalor Reach. Glassing bought UNSC reinforcement time; remains morally divisive.
   • Operation: WHISPER LANCE (early 2552): Mass drop on Covenant shipyard in the Nexara Veil. Two battlecruisers destroyed in drydock; high ODST casualties.

   Current (mid-2552): Mission tempo near-maximum as the Covenant presses ever closer to Reach and Earth. Crew fatigue rising. Intelligence indicates accelerating Inner Colony losses.

Production ceased due to cost; surviving suits remain in limited field use with Aspen-B336 and Suzu-B400.
