SUMMARY
Following the events of the Raising of the Guardians on Genesis, The UNSC Infinity is on the run from Cortana and her Guardians. The Office of Naval Intelligence and Veronica Dare task Edward Buck to reform his old squad Alpha-Nine and investigate an insurrection-held world that has not been found by the Created. After recovering all his former Alpha-Nine squad-mates including Mickey and Dutch, Edward Buck leads his team to Cassidy III to try and get the United Rebel Front leadership to work with the UNSC to fight against Cortana. During their mission, a guardian finds the planet thanks to an AI infiltrator, and the planet comes under attack. Alpha-Nine manage to escape, but the planet is subjugated by the Created.
The Raising of the Guardians was a series of events involving the awakening and unearthing of Forerunner ships known as Guardians by Cortana in late October 2558.
The Battle of Cassidy III was a conflict between Spartan-IV fireteam Alpha-Nine, allied with United Rebel Front forces on Cassidy III, and the Promethean forces under command of the Created late in 2558.
