Several days ago, an unknown force we have come to know as the “Covenant” has arrived at Harvest. Harvest, one of Humanity's outer agricultural planets and a main source of food, has fallen under siege. Within hours, we lost communication with the planet and transmissions from nearby ships have not been appealing. Under the sheer power of this new enemy, and without any knowledge to counter it, we are unable to aid Harvest aside from sending in another task force. Yet, on the capital ship, we have composed a force of our most experienced men and women to fight this new threat. Task Force Thunder, a battalion of soldiers with grit and minds of steel, will be our first line of attack against this new force. And you are being asked to join... This force will be supplied with the best weaponry the UNSC has available, and will be sent in to take the Covenant head on in the coming war. We will hit the Covenant hard, striking supply lines, key planets, as well as high-value targets that we deem necessary to remove. We have little intel on the new enemy, but with ONI working around the clock and gathering intelligence, that will change very soon. Depending on the intel, missions will vary. We will have full cloak-and-dagger operations in order to destroy refueling stations and shipyards. We will hold head on assaults on Covenant positions in attempts to eradicate the enemy. We will have boarding missions that will require teams to infiltrate Covenant ships and either take control of them, or disable them. And we will defend our own colonies from the Covenant or die trying. This request will not last long as the Covenant likely will not be waiting for us to gather this force. Sign up, board the cruiser, and get ready to fight. //End Transmission\\
