Operation: TRAPDOOR, also known a the Battle of Twycross. When the Covenant discovered Earth the planet fell under massive attack. ONI, desperate to stem the tide of Covenant forces, concocted a plan to divert inbound Covenant reinforcements away from Earth. By sending false signals from the abandoned colony of Twycross, ONI successfully fooled the Covenant fleet into believing that the planet was still occupied and held a Forerunner relic. What they found instead was a trap set by the UNSC and were drawn into protracted urban battle with concealed Army forces and a Spartan-III fireteam who delayed and reduced the amount of Covenant forces that would reach Earth.

Signal Corps broadcast false signals from the ground, faking the presence of major populations.

UNSC/ONI hack the Covenant battlenet which has been thrown into chaos by their civil war, with both opposing sides using it.

Falsify orders of human-held relic sites on Twycross. Truth isn't there to say otherwise.

Location of the fake relics defended by a company of ODSTs who are unaware they are defending an illusion.
