And with a fast ship and a lust for adventure, Rion Forge has certainly made her mark on the trade. A Master Chief story and original full-length novel set in the Halo universe—based on the New York Times bestselling video game series!

It has been a year since humanity engaged in its destructive first contact with a theocratic military alliance of alien races known as the Covenant. Now the hostilities have led to open war, and the United Nations Space Command understands virtually nothing about its new enemy. There are only two certainties—the Covenant is determined to eradicate humanity, and they have the superior technology to do just that.

Their designated commander, Petty Officer John, has been assigned to lead the Spartans on a desperate counterattack designed to rock the Covenant back on its heels, and to buy humanity the time it needs to gather intelligence and prepare its defenses. But not everyone wants the Spartans to succeed. A coalition of human insurrectionist leaders believes an alliance with the Covenant to be its best hope of finally winning independence from the Unified Earth Government.

To further their plans, the insurrectionists have dispatched a sleeper agent to sabotage the UNSC counterattack—and ensure that John and the Spartans never return from battle Join her on her dramatic journey from the ranks of humanity's toughest leathernecks to the highest echelon of elite warriors in the galaxy. Collects the three-issue miniseries. An original digital-first e-novella set in the Halo Universe and based on the New York Times bestselling video game series!

But not all of the Prophets perished in their holy city, High Charity, and now one of their fearsome Prelates has sworn his vengeance. This powerful threat has set a cataclysmic plan in motion—a plan to lure the Half-Jaw into a trap that will herald the utter destruction of the entire Sangheili race….

All she wanted was to grow her business and continue the search for her long-lost father, but her recent discovery of a Forerunner debris field at the edge of human-occupied space has now put her squarely in the crosshairs of the Office of Naval Intelligence and the violent remains of the Covenant.

Desperate to defend his land from advancing hordes of bestial charr, King Adelbern summoned the all-powerful Foefire to repel the invaders. But magic can be a double-edged sword—the Foefire burned both charr and human alike.

The once mighty kingdom became a haunted shadow of its former glory. He then leads an assault to remove the Covenant so that Professor Anders may examine it. Upon contact from Anders, the relic points to another UEG colony world, Arcadia , which holds "something of great interest to the Covenant.

Professor Anders then convinces Captain Cutter to travel to Arcadia using information gathered from the Harvest relic. Following the Covenant to Arcadia, they find that the most of the orbital defense ships have been either destroyed or damaged in battle with the Covenant one of the many ships is the UNSC Pillar of Autumn which would be involved in the "Halo incident" twenty years later.

Sergeant Forge and his forces deploy to the surface in order to assist the Spartans from Red Team in the effort to evacuate civilians from Arcadia City via cargo transports. Eventually managing to destroy it, Anders and Forge begin documenting the area, only for the Arbiter Ripa 'Moramee to arrive, taking Anders prisoner and wounding Sergeant Forge, with Red Team arriving too late to assist.

Deploying ground forces to search for Anders, the UNSC and Covenant forces come under attack from a previously undiscovered alien organism - the Flood. As the Spirit of Fire enters the planet's interior it is guided through a docking system that removes Flood growths from the ship's hull.

This occurs as the ship moves through a system of concentric rings that filter out Flood biomass. Meanwhile, The Arbiter uses Anders to activate The Apex site , revealing a fleet of Forerunner warships which the Covenant plans to incorporate into their existing naval forces to crush the humans quickly and with ease.

With the Covenant forces distracted by their new fleet, Anders manages to escape using what had been her stasis prison as a translocation device. She teleports to the surface of the Shield World's interior, linking up with Forge and his Marines, who clear the area of Covenant forces and establish a base of operations.

Though risky, the plan would destroy both the installation and the fleet, denying it to the Covenant and saving humanity from near total defeat and extinction.

With the reactor damaged, Forge stays behind to detonate it manually, while the rest of the UNSC forces activate a portal to escape the Shield World and retreat to the Spirit of Fire.

Once evacuations are complete, Cutter maneuvers the ship to slingshot around the sun to build up enough speed to escape the supernova's blast radius and the range of the Shield World's debris. The ship begins its long journey home, likely to take many years or decades. In a final cutscene, Sgt. Forge's cryo tube is closed by Captain Cutter, who briefly nods, upon which the camera pans down to find the words "Sgt. Forge," acknowledging his sacrifice for all of humanity. In the final moments of the credits, Serina speaks the final words of the game, saying "Captain.

Wake up. Something has happened," As the logo appears on the screen. The ultimate fate of the Spirit of Fire is unknown. Investigations by the UNSC and ONI are officially closed a few years after it is officially designated MIA, but there is some evidence that the ship does at some point return to UNSC space, with the strongest argument being the number of Spartans present during the Fall of Reach ; At the time, 25 of the remaining 28 are present on the planet, with the three missing identified as Gray Team and the remaining dead or missing all previously identified, leading credence to the idea that Red Team, do eventually reunite with the UNSC.

However it is noted that since Spirit of Fire ' s crew were the first humans to encounter the Flood, information should have been reported to ONI, but the first recorded Human-Flood encounter was in , 21 years later, on Halo Installation 04, meaning that either the Spirit of Fire did not come back or ONI kept the Human-Flood encounter a closely guarded secret.

Aside from CGI cut scenes and on-the-battlefield appearances, characters in Halo Wars often appear in talking head animations where a small view screen appears in the upper left corner showing the face of the character speaking at the moment. Concept art of a Sangheili grasping two energy swords. The Flood gain units by taking over Human and Covenant troops. These include the Bomber, Swarm, and Thrasher Forms.

Though they cannot be controlled, in the multiplayer map Release , they can be released at opposite ends of the map to menace enemy units. In respect to keeping the appearance of the Flood in canon with the rest of the series, the game has the Spirit of Fire traveling back to Earth at speeds slower than light after its mission had ended, making it impossible for them to report the existence of the Flood.

However, this raises further controversy over the presence of the Spartans on board the Spirit of Fire. Throughout the campaign and in Skirmishes, the player must advance their technology in order to increase their army's power. Orthopade — Zdrav Vestn — Download references.
