"What do ya mean, "Overly-Aggressive"?! Did you see what it did to those buildings! That could cut through your armor like butter, for god sakes!"

— Trevor-056 to Corey-062, upon seeing the Covenant Scarab for the first time

OPERATION: Solar Empire was a Night-Ops confrontation between part of Omega One and Two and a small legion of Covenant forces. The UNSC ended up victorious, but the battle claimed the first SPARTAN life in history.

The Buildup
After Trevor and Omega One met with Captain Ponder, Colonel Michael Johnston and Commander Janes Haryes, they devised a plan to annihilate a Covenant force converging on Gladshiem. Three Spartans in Team One would land in the middle of a field and converge on the small village. They would barricade the main intersection and wait for Covenant forces to arrive. If need be, they could call on Team Two, which Consisted of two Spartans, Corey-062 and two ODST's.
