Operation: Orpheus

Operation: Orpheus was a high-risk mission set up by ONI to infliltrate the Covenant-controlled world, Artemis I, and retrieve high-value information as well as rescue the scientists trapped in an underground facility. The mission was deemed a success. While the Covenant ended up glassing the planet and the UNSC lost valuable assets, most of the scientists were rescued and a large amount of the information was salvaged from the databanks in the facility.
